Location & Connectivity
Montira by Rare Earth sits at the foothills of Nandi Hills in Nandi Hobli, Chikkaballapur district, close to Gitanjali International School and roughly 25 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport via NH-44. The site also sits near the under-construction Satellite Town Ring Road, the peripheral highway meant to connect Bangalore’s outer towns without routing traffic through the city core.
This is a step further out than the airport-adjacent Devanahalli corridor that dominates most current North Bangalore launches – Chikkaballapur is its own district, and buyers should treat this as a Nandi Hills-adjacent weekend/second-home and long-horizon investment play rather than a daily-commute purchase, even with NH-44 connectivity.
Nearby comparables
There isn’t a close, already-covered plotted layout in the immediate Chikkaballapur/Nandi Hills pocket to compare this against directly. The nearest reference point on this site is Rare Earth Athena in Devanahalli – the same builder’s earlier, smaller plotted layout (4.7 acres, 80 plots) further down the same NH-44 corridor toward the airport, which gives a sense of how this builder prices and packages its plotted developments.
Project Specifications
- Builder: Rare Earth (Rare Earth Developers/Projects), which also has an existing, smaller plotted layout (Rare Earth Athena) in Devanahalli.
- Land parcel: 14.35 acres.
- Total plots: 116, CUDA-approved (Chikkaballapur falls outside the BMRDA/BIAPPA jurisdictions that cover most of this site’s other North Bangalore coverage).
- Plot sizes: range from roughly 1,650 sq ft to 4,106 sq ft.
- Theme: the project is marketed as a “Palmeraie” (Marrakesh-inspired) layout, landscaped with 229 date palms along the internal roads.
- Clubhouse: an 18,000 sq ft resort-style clubhouse anchors the amenity block.
- Construction status: infrastructure and amenities are under construction as of this run; this is a fresh launch rather than an established layout.
- Possession: target date of December 2027.
Pricing
Plots are priced starting from roughly Rs 70 lakh for the smaller sizes, scaling up with plot area toward the 4,000+ sq ft end of the range. None of the sources checked for this piece broke pricing down by exact size band beyond that starting figure, so buyers should get a size-wise price sheet directly from the sales office rather than extrapolating a per-sq-ft rate from the headline number alone.
Amenities
- 18,000 sq ft resort-style clubhouse

RERA & Compliance
Montira by Rare Earth is registered under Karnataka RERA with the number PRM/KA/RERA/1254/460/PR/160525/007750. Decoding the registration date segment (160525) gives 16 May 2025, a valid and already-elapsed registration date. This is a standard project-class (PR) registration, and the number was consistent across the independent listings checked for this piece.
A Few Honest Notes
- Chikkaballapur is a genuinely different market from the airport-corridor Devanahalli launches that make up most of the current North Bangalore pipeline – infrastructure, social amenities and resale liquidity here are all less mature, and buyers should size their expectations (and their holding period) accordingly.
- The Marrakesh/Palmeraie theming is a differentiator worth seeing in person rather than taking on marketing renders alone – how well a themed landscape ages depends heavily on maintenance quality once the developer hands over common areas.
- Detailed size-wise pricing wasn’t available across the sources checked for this piece beyond the Rs 70 lakh starting figure – get a written, plot-specific quote before booking.
- As with any plotted layout this far from the city, confirm the exact approval status (CUDA layout approval, khata type, and road-widening plans for the approach roads) directly with the developer’s documentation rather than relying on marketing copy.
Verdict
Montira suits a buyer looking for a themed, low-density plotted layout near Nandi Hills for a weekend home or a long-horizon land investment, and who isn’t expecting the same connectivity or social infrastructure maturity as the airport-facing Devanahalli corridor. It’s less suited to anyone planning to build and move in for a daily Bangalore commute, or to buyers who want a fully price-transparent plot sheet before their first site visit. Get a size-wise price list and confirm the CUDA approval and access-road status directly with the sales office before committing.
