Unlike city apartments or residential sites, farmland investments are offering higher returns, drawing urban buyers eager to diversify their portfolios. The trend is particularly strong among professionals and families who want properties that serve both as weekend retreats and long-term income sources.
The popularity of farmhouses has surged as Bengaluru and Mysuru residents increasingly look for quieter escapes from urban congestion. Developers are catering to this demand by providing ready-to-build options with resort-style features. Buyers are also turning farmlands into productive assets by cultivating sandalwood, fruits, vegetables, and spices—blending lifestyle with agricultural income.
Sandalwood farms
Sandalwood plantations, once considered risky, have become a significant draw. Improved security measures and new policing guidelines allowing private landowners to protect sandalwood trees have enhanced investor confidence. Many are choosing managed sandalwood farms that promise steady returns alongside recreational use.
Infrastructure expansion is further driving demand. The proposed Peripheral Ring Road around Mysuru and the broader “New Mysuru” development plan are expected to enhance connectivity and boost land values.
Offering land appreciation, recreational living, commercial crop income, and modern amenities, farmland along this corridor is fast emerging as one of the most attractive investment avenues in southern Karnataka.
