Large plot buyer in G Square Arcadia Kelambakkam (2,200 sqft) checking in. My experience: large plots in G Square communities do get the same utility connections as small plots – individual EB connection, water main connection point, UGDS outlet. The road abutting a large corner plot can be wider which is nice. Building on a 2,200 sqft plot: I built G+1 (ground + first floor) totalling 2,800 sqft built-up – a proper duplex with garden space remaining. Cost: ₹42L construction. The garden space (remaining ~1,000 sqft around the house) adds massive quality of life – kids have outdoor space, wife grows vegetables. This is what you can't get in any apartment.
The farmhouse concept you mentioned requires checking local FSI and setback rules. In Chengalpattu panchayat/municipality zones, the allowable FSI and setback from boundaries varies. Typically for residential construction: 2 metre setback all sides minimum. On a 6,555 sqft (say 60×110 ft) plot, that means the buildable area after setbacks is about 56×106 = 5,936 sqft per floor. But municipality rules may cap height or require specific approvals for large houses. Verify specifically: what's the approved land use on this Singaperumal Koil layout – residential or mixed? Some layouts near industrial zones have mixed-use designation that affects what you can build.
₹1.31 Cr for a 6555 sqft plot in Singaperumal Koil is genuinely attractive compared to alternatives. A similarly sized plot in Vandalur or Kelambakkam would cost ₹2.5-4 Cr. You're trading off the address premium for area. But for a farmhouse or retirement home use-case, Singaperumal Koil's greenery, railway connectivity, and Oragadam industrial activity (which will bring social infrastructure over time) makes it sensible. The Vrindavan community format adds security which matters for a large property you might not occupy full-time initially.
