Inside Dharmendra's serene Lonavala farmhouse
Spread across a vast 100 acres, Dharmendra’s Lonavala farmhouse feels like a world far removed from Mumbai’s constant noise. He often said he was, at heart, a man who belonged to the soil, someone who loved crops, open skies and the simple rhythm of outdoor life.
Growing up in Sahnewal, Punjab, farming wasn’t aspirational or trendy for him. It was just everyday living. Even after he rose to superstardom, that instinct, that grounding, never left him.
The farmhouse reflects this deep-rooted simplicity. There are no sleek glass facades or ultra-modern design corners here. Instead, the indoor spaces are built with wood, stone and earthy textures. The sitting room, with its heavy, comfortable sofas, is designed for togetherness. Dharmendra loved having people around, especially family, and the home carries that warmth.
Love for organic farming and open skies
One of the most charming aspects of the property is its focus on organic farming. Dharmendra grew fruits, vegetables and even rice on the land. He often shared glimpses of this life, watering plants, plucking mangoes, laughing as he chased ducks.
The farmhouse also shelters buffaloes, adding to the rustic, lived-in feel he cherished. His love for “soil and open skies,” as he often said, is evident in every corner of the property. Even after decades as one of Indian cinema’s biggest icons, Dharmendra found his truest happiness in the slow, calm routine he grew up with, close to nature, close to himself.
