Spread across about two acres, the property has a rich legacy, having originally belonged to the Maharaja of Wankaner before being acquired by the U.S. government and used as a consulate residence for several decades. Classified as a Grade-III heritage structure, Lincoln House features colonial-era architecture with expansive lawns and a built-up area of around 50,000 square feet.

Its old-world charm, combined with its strategic coastal location, sets it apart from modern glass-and-steel luxury homes.

Designed as a farmhouse-style residence, the home reflects simplicity, sustainability, and a deep connection with nature. Spread across around 6,000 square feet, the house features pitched roofs, stone cladding, and high ceilings that promote natural ventilation and light. Surrounded by greenery, the residence offers a tranquil environment away from the city\u2019s commercial bustle. The architectural language is understated, focusing on functionality and comfort rather than extravagance. Natural materials dominate both the exterior and interior, reinforcing a sense of warmth and restraint. Despite its high valuation, the home aligns closely with Premji\u2019s personal philosophy of minimalism and purpose-driven living. It is a rare example of luxury defined by serenity and thoughtful design rather than scale or ornamentation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Owner: Azim Premji<br \/>\n\u2022 Estimated value: \u20b9350 crore<br \/>\n\u2022 Location: Whitefield<br \/>\n\u2022 Area: 6,000 sq. ft.<br \/>\n\u2022 Highlights: Farmhouse design, pitched roofs, stone cladding, lush green surroundings<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5401\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5401\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-dominant-color=\"8f8372\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #8f8372;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"not-transparent size-full wp-image-5401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Azim-Premji-Residence-1-768x432-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Azim-Premji-Residence-1-768x432-1.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Azim-Premji-Residence-1-768x432-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Azim-Premji-Residence-1-768x432-1-170x96.webp 170w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Azim-Premji-Residence-1-768x432-1-370x208.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Azim-Premji-Residence-1-768x432-1-150x84.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Azim Premji House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/2025\/12\/28\/inside-ratan-tata-house-in-colaba-a-legacy-of-simplicity-and-elegance\/\">Ratan Tata\u2019s Retirement Home<\/a>, Mumbai<\/strong><br \/>\nThe late Ratan Tata\u2019s retirement home is a serene, all-white residence located in Colaba, Mumbai, overlooking the Arabian Sea.
