Think of an immersive nature escape, swathed in seemingly endless verdure, juxtaposed with an elaborate bouquet of modern, leisure amenities, and make it a reality at Brickwood Hill. This olden yet lavish holiday home is something of an unparalleled experience - right from its one-of-a-kind name to its natural topography and its liberal offerings. As you wander through this massive estate, its many exposed-brick cottages and its meandering pathways, you will soon realise that this home weaves a story of its own. Deriving its name from the family's cop lineage, Brickwood Hill is a holiday home quite literally nested amidst a canopy of trees. Tucked away from the prying eyes of otherwise buzzing Chandigarh, this estate is strategically located in the outskirts of the city, on a quaint hillock. From afar, at the first glance, this abode almost resembles a typical mountain home nestled in the hills, but when the golf buggy drives you up the stilt, that's when realisation dawns that there's more to this home than is led on - be it its postcard-perfect infinity pool, the adjoining jacuzzi, the alfresco seatings or the flourishing greenery.

THE SPACE 

It’s a discerning experience, right from the beginning - the drive to this massive estate features a few bumps on the road yet brings you to the most nonpareil holiday home. The parking lot is spacious; grand open spaces are sort of a norm throughout this home. Step onto the driveway, and watch the golf cart descend. From here on, strap yourself as you get ready for an otherworldly escape, away from the modern mundane woes. 

The upward slopes leading to the home are dotted with lush green bushes, radiant flowers and a bouquet of colours. The initial topography of the hillock remains untouched, with 5 levels of lawns, boasting alternate avenues of towering palms, among other greens and gazebos. The step format makes for unrivalled vantage points with each lawn overlooking the dramatic hills, mountains and Kasauli somewhere far away. 

The distinct concept of pillarless cottages, each serving a different purpose, is unseen yet refreshing. It is eschewed with exquisite taste, seen in the scattered pockets of family heirlooms and medallions. The family’s cop lineage is seen here too with each common space boasting a name of its own. 

The alfresco dining area lies in the centre, exuding its striking olden charm with its wrought-iron chairs, tables and collapsible umbrellas. On either side is the Commando House - the chandelier-clad dining room and the Special Ops Ground - the beautifully designed living room featuring artworks and aquariums. The buffet table - Cops Can Cook - lies right in front, whilst the bar - Tipsy Cop - is tucked away in a corner. 

Further up is the fully equipped gymnasium, engulfed in sweeping mountains and endless greenery. Blurring the lines between the blues and the greens beyond, the infinity pool and the adjoining jacuzzi are flanked by a soothing Buddha statue, a water fountain and loungers. The designated snooker room is a favourite, and the cherry on top is the curated collection of reads at your disposal. 

THE ROOMS 

The 4 bedrooms of this estate are laid out on the same level, in the form of independent themed cottages. Each room is thoughtfully ornamented with a distinct colour - red, yellow, premium blue and luxury blue - and this is meticulously followed, right from the curtains to the bed covers. 

Each bedroom is extravagant with its king-sized beds, ensuite baths, air-conditioners, Wi-Fi access and electric kettles. The focal point in these rooms is the presence of the vibrant sanduks, adding character to the rooms. The rooms open up to snug gardens, and offer stunning views.
