How does he afford a 25 Crore Farmhouse near Bangalore?

The guest we have today is Suhas Shankarappa, who made a major financial decision in his life five years ago. Fate had other plans for the money that he and his family had saved to buy a 5 BHK flat in Bangalore, as it ended up being utilized for a 30-acre farmhouse in a village that's 250 kms away from Bangalore. And guess what? This turned out to be the best financial decision of their life.
Watch this video to learn about how you can build your dream and a sustainable farmhouse for you and your family. And explore if it's really worth it.
Watch it today on the Per Annum Money Podcast.

Nice video, practical. The benefits can't be calculated in terms of money. You get peace which is invaluable. Liked the video

I have a farm near hassan.I built it with same concept of farming+AirBnB. This video felt as guidelines for me

Great content! The guest was intelligent, with a practical and progressive thought process.

[@kittu529]

One thing govt and people should get a moral out of the story. To have a good wealth distribution, the migration of people to cities is to be prevented. Working from home will definitely help in reverse migration. Maintaining law, order, and cleanliness in cities will be easy if population density decreases.

[@kittu529]

This idea of people like Suhas can create employment for people in villages. which also deals with the migration of people to cities.

[@Vaibhain]

Super stuff! Few questions: 1. Kids School? 2. Health care of parents? 3. Suhas , i wish to visit, pls share Airbnb link

[@suhassshankarappa]

Hey Vaibhain! Regarding Kids - we have put them on a good CBSE school which is around 25 kms away. They travel around 30-40 min.. but it’s a serine route. Initially we had to drop them few kms from our place - but later School was kind enough to send the bus till our farm. So it’s kind of taken care. The only difference I am observing from a fancy school in Bangalore vs this school is language and few activities.. but the kids are more calmer, grounded and empathetic here. Regarding Healthcare - our parents always stayed in a small town 10 kms away from the farm. Now they keep shuttling between both homes.. there are good Multi Specality hospitals within 30-50 km radius. Not all small towns will have this kind of access - but that’s a very important point to consider. Currently we have not opened it up for public / Airbnb - we are hosting friends and family - trying to learn hospitality and level up the service standards in the process. You may follow the farms page on Instagram for more details / updates - instagram.com/shivasestate Hope that was helpful 😊

The guest's long term plan and way of thinking towards that is good

[@sreenivaskampala]

It is very clear from this video that just on farming you can not jus survive, forget abot this lavish lifestyle. You need some kind of primary income to maintain your lands & to do agriculture. You need a constant income to feed your farming expenses till you stabilise your commercial crops growth & you see the actual income later.

[@Therichtrader-h9m]

Nice content, learnt a lot of things from Suhas. Every dream chaser should know the value of Life and Money. Everything Suhas deliver in this video is with perfect logic. Please make more videos like this. I was planing to buy independent house in Bangalore city. Now after watching this video I have another plan.

[@suhassshankarappa]

Thank you for your kind words!!

[@thesoftwarefarmer]

I have this same vision and started building my own farm with 5 acres. I only need is a remote job now to permanently move away from Bangalore

[@PerAnnummoney]

Great 👍

[@suhassshankarappa]

[@pavanm3100]

You don't have to wait for a remote job to shift. Create a fund which can sustain your lifestyle comfortably for an year and just quit the job. Take a couple of months break, where you focus on health, family and any thing which makes you happy. Learn hot skills, build your profile and then start job hunting full time.

[@desicryptoguy6090]

To create this lifestyle is to die for! Amazing thinking and amazing life! Good job🎉

[@vamsinallaparaju]

One can grow 3000 fishes per acre which is a general practice, if the tank size is above 20 acres. Price is around 120rs per kg, rest is to caliculate. I cant understand how he is expecting huge income from fish pond of 1.5 acres

[@Kannada_First]

You must check out a guy called "Drone Pratap" in Karnataka. Just Google it

[@harishramaiah2503]

very well built, not easy to do this good work

[@vinishshetty8055]

If you sell some property for over 4cr, just go and buy 20 acres in rural area with good water supply, Get a soil testing done and You can easily earn 25-30 lakhs an year with perennial crops, Once you have 50lakhs just plant longterm cash crops, You can easily earn 60+ lakhs annually tax free and live in a city and hire a property manager. Fun part is rural properties are exempt from long term capital gains 😂😂. This is why politicians dont tax farming and farms because almost all of them are farmers. To simply say if you look at much of Indias history, Only large land lords have made money. You can always flip your farm for huge profits or keep buying more land and once you cross the 40acre land sealing you can register a company and transfer the land under it.

[@sandeepshetty4576]

Bravo👌..very inspiring. Loved it man

[@jayarambasgod6193]

I guess he became rich already by other means and then established this farm/ farm house. No way to reach this level by farming alone… BMW of 1.2 Crore? No farmer, even if he has really earned through farming will go for such fancy. There is a lot of disconnect on incurred expenditure, earnings etc… easy Silas than done. Please do not get carried away. However, the approach to life and the direction are quite acceptable.

[@PerAnnummoney]

We never said that he has generated all his wealth through farming. He was sharing the potential income he can make from this farmhouse.

[@PerAnnummoney]

Major contribution came from Suhas' earnings. If its 30 Acres Suhas would have easily bought 20-25 acres with his own money. Please don't assume without appropriate knowledge.

[@137akash]

​@@PerAnnummoney It would have enlightened others if you had interviewed him on how he created such wealth to invest to and afford these luxuries, then people won't assume things, otherwise based on what he said about In-law's and wife's property ppl are assuming here. Looking at his linkedin profile he has been an entrepreneur right after his Btech. Lucky 1% in India can reach here. Most can't relate to this, though they would dream about having such lifestyle. Hope it's understandable.

[@madhavprasad3824]

Rich in laws are always helpful either monetary wise or guidance wise or timely help wise. Unfortunately I choose opposite and paying price.

[@TylerDurdenVibes]

all points described are really helpful, 1) have a vision where you want to see yourself like your hometown, village etc. then build as per that 2) 7-10 years are enough to accumulate good sum from teir1 city to your village or hometown.

So wondering about the other aspects of the video. At the max I can say that he is super smart and marketing his products well or super exaggeration. I know many aqua culture farmers who are into growing fish. Never heard of anyone making 1cr(even once in a decade either) per acre from fish farms

[@suhassshankarappa]

@@gouthamkondapavuluru1959 You are right.. making 1 cr out of fishery is not easy.. I was referring to the potential yield. I have my friends who exclusively to this for their living - with innovative practices and scientific methods - you can 10X more money than your peers in the industry..

It’s surprising how people here are commenting about the viability of the land, location of his farm and reselling value. What you don’t understand is even if you consider his whole farmhouse as a liability, which clearly isn’t the case, he has wide enough income stream to sustain it. What you should be more interested is how he spent time acquiring the skills of an entrepreneur and created wealth. Once you have enough of it, you can even build a house on moon, it doesn’t matter. Same lessons to draw from zoho CEO Sridhar Vembhu.

Get board big time 6. Very difficult to sell the village farm land (locals quote for very less price, u have to find a banagalorian to sell farmland) 7. If land prices increases in short span (3 to 5 years).. new Legal hires will claim the ownership. 8. U have to spend 10 to 12 hrs (both ways) to Bangalore to get some entertainment.

If you are talking about Night Life - yes, you have to travel out 5. Again - it’s subjective 6. Again - depends on the location 7. You have to do your legal - else you will have trouble 8. 😀 too subjective… Sagar - I get what you are saying. You might have gone through these issues.. you will face this when you get a property in an unknown village. When you go to your native, where you have your roots.. you will get support from your family and villagers.. again depends on what kind of relationship you manage..

I don't think so

[@Kannada_First]

At 35, I bought a 16-acre agricultural land and built a farmhouse with an agricultural pond near Mysuru. The overall idea sounds good but with a lot of superfluity n this guy is claiming way too much credit for developing this property. Come on dude, be honest. Why would a crorepati own VW Jetta car as the 3rd owner? Also, the BMW is not registered in his name... Pls check out the car numbers! Other key questions: 1. How did he earn the money to buy the 27-acre land in the first place? What % is his in-law's investment and who all are sharing the income right now??.... 2. Who are the US clients he is talking about (the "nonstop" work the couple do daily in 2 shifts! 🥲). 3. At 2:40 dude says.... making the pond was the biggest investment! Building an agricultural pond of 1 acre size would cost about 12-15 lakhs max even in the year 2023. Getting a borewell and fencing wouldn't take 1 year. 4. The trees are not coconut; they are areca nut.... show the 4-acre coffee plantation please. And 20:20 .... the land is NOT cheap in Karnataka!!

[@PerAnnummoney]

1. He runs a global consulting firm around digital & brand marketing which brings in 2 million dollars in revenue. 2. We have shot his professional journey as well. That video will come out this month. 3. Building the pond on this land wasn't easy. there were some other factors that went in as well which were typically not related to just pond building. 4. yes, that was the mistake on our end. we placed the wrong shot in the editing. Suhas also informed us about that.
