Mumbai/New Delhi: India’s favorite power couple, cricketer Virat Kohli and actor-producer Anushka Sharma, have significantly expanded their real estate footprint. According to official property registration documents, the duo has acquired a sprawling land parcel measuring over 5.1 acres in the beach town of Alibaug, Maharashtra. The transaction, registered on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, underscores the coastal town’s status as the premier luxury second-home destination for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs).
Transaction Details and Location
The new acquisition consists of two adjoining land parcels located in Zirad village, situated near the scenic Awas Beach in the Raigad district. The total area of the land is approximately 21,010 square metres.

A Growing Portfolio in Alibaug
This marks the second major real estate investment by “Virushka” in the Alibaug market. Back in 2022, the couple purchased an 8-acre plot in the same region for approximately ₹19.24 crore. On that initial plot, they have already constructed a lavish, tech-savvy farmhouse designed in a “California-Konkan” style, featuring:
- A temperature-controlled swimming pool and jacuzzi.
- A bespoke Poggenpohl kitchen.
- Landscaped gardens and a dedicated staff quarter.
The “Celebrity Signal” Effect
Experts believe this purchase is a “textbook celebrity signal” moment for the Alibaug market. With improved connectivity via the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) and increased Ro-Ro ferry services, Alibaug is transitioning from a weekend escape to a legitimate luxury extension of South Mumbai. Other high-profile individuals, including cricketers Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar, have also recently made investments in the area.
Key Highlights Box:
- Investment: ₹37.86 Crore for 5.1 acres.
- Second Purchase: Follows their 2022 investment of ₹19 Crore.
- Privacy Focus: The couple continues to prioritize high-privacy, low-density locations as they spend more time with their children, Vamika and Akaay.
