18 and Oak Assetz is a golf villa plot development at Sevaganapalli in Hosur Taluk, Tamil Nadu, just across the state border from the Sarjapur and Attibele side of Bengaluru. Assetz lists plots from ₹2.62 Cr, in sizes from 5,000 to 16,000 sq ft, and our listing records them as ready to register. Because the land is in Tamil Nadu, the project is registered with Tamil Nadu RERA, and Tamil Nadu sets the stamp duty and registration charges.
The draw is an 18 hole golf course and a clubhouse of about 90,000 sq ft, both already built. The weakness is that Assetz's own pages do not agree on several basic numbers. This is a project to buy with the approved layout in your hand, not the brochure.

What does a plot at 18 and Oak cost?
₹2.62 Cr is the starting price Assetz lists. The price of a given plot depends on its size and its position. Assetz divides the layout into six zones, with course facing plots and private plots in each. Ask how the price differs between the two.
Stamp duty and registration are extra, and here they follow Tamil Nadu's rules, not Karnataka's. The figure of about 6.6% that Bengaluru buyers are used to does not apply. Check the current Tamil Nadu stamp duty and registration charges, and the guideline value for Sevaganapalli, with a lawyer or the local sub registrar before you set your budget.
Loans for land also work differently from apartment home loans. Confirm the amount, the rate and the conditions with your bank before you commit.
Plot or villa? Read the offer carefully
Our listing records 18 and Oak as golf villa plots. Assetz's own pages describe it two ways: its home page calls it a luxury plotted development, while its FAQ and villa page describe 4 and 5 BHK golf villas, with internal courtyards, a family room, a back kitchen and maid's rooms on the floor plan.
So ask in writing what the price buys: the land alone, or land with a villa that Assetz builds, and on what schedule. If Assetz builds, its published specification includes a seismic resistant RCC frame with concrete walls, European engineered wooden doors, aluminium windows with steel mosquito mesh, Kohler or equivalent fittings, Schneider or equivalent switches and solar hot water. If you buy the land alone, design, approval and construction are separate costs on top.
The golf course and the clubhouse
The course has 18 holes and, Assetz says, plays over 6,500 yards to a par of 71. Its FAQ names it Clover Greens. The clubhouse of about 90,000 sq ft has 16 guest rooms, two conference rooms and a restaurant, The Faireway, open from 9 am to 10 pm.
Assetz lists a swimming pool, a gym, indoor badminton, squash and tennis courts, a card room, an amphitheatre, a beauty salon, a yoga space, a spa with steam rooms, a driving range, a golf academy and a pro shop. Ask whether club membership comes with the plot, and what the fees are each year.

How 18 and Oak compares with other Assetz plots
| Project | Where | Plot sizes | From | Possession |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Secret Lake | Devanahalli, off IVC Road | 1,200 to 2,400 sq ft | ₹78 Lakh* | 2027 |
| City of Palms | Devanahalli, off IVC Road | 1,199 to 1,798 sq ft | ₹1.20 Cr* | 2029 |
| 18 & Oak | Hosur Taluk, Tamil Nadu | 5,000 to 16,000 sq ft | ₹2.62 Cr* | Ready to register |
| Melodies of Life | Off Hosa Road | 600 to 3,000 sq ft | ₹3.07 Cr* | 2026 |
18 and Oak is the only one with a golf course, the only one outside Karnataka and the only one listed as ready to register. The Melodies of Life plots off Hosa Road are smaller and inside the city. Near the airport, our guide to The Secret Lake and City of Palms plots covers the lower priced end. If you are still deciding between land and a finished home, read villament, plot or apartment first.
What to check before you pay
- The size of your plot and the total land area in the approved DTCP layout. Assetz's pages give more than one set of plot sizes and more than one land figure, so rely on the layout and the sale deed, and confirm whether figures are in square feet or square yards.
- The registration on the Tamil Nadu RERA website, under TN/30/BUILDING/0426/2022.
- Title, patta and encumbrance certificate, checked by a lawyer who practises in Tamil Nadu.
- Tamil Nadu stamp duty, registration charges and guideline value.
- Club membership terms and the yearly maintenance charge.
- For NRIs: NRIs can buy homes without RBI permission but cannot buy agricultural land. Our data lists 18 and Oak as a DTCP approved residential layout; have your lawyer confirm the land's classification in the records.
Who 18 and Oak may not suit
It suits buyers who want a large plot on a golf course and are happy to build, or to wait for a villa to be built. It suits less well if you commute daily to central Bengaluru, since Assetz puts Koramangala at 26 km, or if you want to move in within a year. Our list of Assetz projects with the earliest possession shows the alternatives. The render we hold is on our 18 & Oak project page.
Your next step
Ask for the price sheet for a course facing plot and a private plot in the same zone, with the approved layout showing each plot's area. Then walk the plots before you pay a token amount.
