His
experimental fashion and styling choices during his peak years would say otherwise, but Mahendra Singh Dhoni - as his moniker 'Captain Cool' aptly implies - has always had a calm mind and dependable demeanour. Now imagine everything you know about the ace cricketer and try and blow it up into a house. The former Indian cricket captain's dream home, christened 'Kailashpati', is an embodiment of just that. Today, as Dhoni turns a year younger at 45, we take a peak into his forever pin code with wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva.
A Modern Estate with a Rustic Soul
Seeing as Dhoni is a Ranchi boy through and through, it only makes sense for him to have picked his hometown to build the house of his dreams. And that is exactly where Kailashpati stands tall, on Jharkhand's Ranchi Ring Road. The estate took 3 years to build from the ground up and one look at it will tell you that it was well worth the wait.
Kailashpati's primary aesthetic is that of a farmhouse and it is structurally built as such. The design and architecture all nod to contemporary touches - think sloping tiled roofs and massive, glass-walled sections. Still, the property's core feels very authentically rustic - the calming white exteriors and the black stonework stand as proof. With these as the foundation, even ultra-modern additions like an indoor stadium, net-practice area, a thoroughly-updated gym and an open swimming pool give off a sense of 'home'. Kailashpati has the build of a resort with the soul of a home - and there's honestly no superior combination we can think of. Understandably then, the property stands reportedly priced at a smooth ₹6 crores.
Sprawling - and Sustainable!
It's hard to pick one focal point when it comes to a property that is so expansively well-rounded. However, with Dhoni's home, his dream garage single-handedly upstages everything else surrounding it. Captain Cool has a weakness for vintage cars and motorcycles and to showcase his exploits, he has a sprawling dream garage - reportedly climate-controlled and with glass-walls wrapping around it for complete visibility.
As far as the interiors go, a neutral and earthy palette stands elevated in visual impact with the abundance of gold tones. Many reports have suggested how Dhoni himself was deeply involved in how the house turned out and from the looks of it, Captain Cool seems to enjoy an accent wall done right. There's an abundance of metal - again earth tones like copper - when it comes to interior design details as well as large mirrors making the space look reflective and feel even more airy than it already is.Also Read:

Surrounding the dream garage are approximately 7 acres of open lawns with space for organic farming as well as a dedicated area for proper rearing of his pets.Dhoni's property portfolio of course does not end with Kailashpati. The cricketer also has to his name a luxury apartment in
Mumbai's Andheri West in addition to reported real estate purchases in places like Pune and Dehradun.
