Why should you Buy Land in Tabakhmela?
Land prices on the outskirts of Tbilisi are incresing every year, with some areas seeing values spike by as much as 15% to 30%. The driving forces behind this trend are the intense development within the city center and a shifting consumer desire to live in peaceful, green environments.
Among the various locations developing on the capital's periphery, Tabakhmela stands out. Its popularity is driven not only by its proximity to the center of Tbilisi (a drive of roughly 15-20 minutes) but also by its unique microclimate, impressive panoramic views, and actively developing infrastructure.

Why Has Tabakhmela Become Such a High-Demand Location?
The last few years, particularly the pandemic era, significantly reshaped people's priorities when choosing a place to live. For instance, the rise of remote work gave many the freedom to live away from the city core. Alongside this, there has been a renewed focus on mental and physical well-being, fueling demand for homes that offer fresh air, abundant greenery, open space, and tranquility.
Against this backdrop, Tabakhmela’s advantages have become impossible to ignore. Situated 950 meters above sea level, this area - much like Kojori and Tsavkisi - historically holds the status of a climatic resort. Its unique air quality has always been a draw for Tbilisi residents, especially in summer. Today, however, the area is gradually transitioning from a seasonal getaway into a zone for permanent residence.
What Distinguishes It from Other Suburban Locations in Georgia?
There are many settlements surrounding Tbilisi, each defined by different characteristics. For example, Tsavkisi is known for its prestige, while Lisi is widely regarded as a recreational zone. Naturally, Tabakhmela has its own unique features that set it apart from other residential areas.
The first and most obvious advantage is the panoramic views. Tabakhmela is perched on a branch of the Trialeti Ridge; as a result, plots located on the eastern and northern slopes offer sweeping views of Tbilisi, while the southern and western slopes look out over Kumisi Lake.
Tabakhmela has always held a special place for Tbilisi locals. Dating back to the 19th century, summer houses were built here, driven by the local climate and geographical position. At an altitude of 950 meters, the temperature in summer is typically 5-7 degrees cooler than in the city.
Historical documents refer to Tabakhmela, along with Kojori and Tsavkisi, as a climatic resort destination. The air here is truly exceptional. The slopes of the Trialeti Ridge create a natural barrier against strong winds while simultaneously promoting good ventilation of the area. Today, given that air pollution is a serious issue in Tbilisi, this is a significant advantage.

Tips for Selecting a Land Plot in Tabakhmela
First and foremost, it is essential to check the zoning status. For example, Residential Zone 1 (SZ-1) is ideal for building an individual home and allows for comfortable development. Recreational Zone 3 (RZ-3) is also an acceptable option, though the building coefficient here is lower (0.3), while the greening coefficient is high (0.6). Caution is needed with Agricultural Zones: despite the lower price, building on them is impossible without a status change, which involves time, financial costs, and bureaucratic hurdles.
Beyond zoning, geology and terrain are of great importance. Since Tabakhmela is characterized by rugged relief, not all plots are equally favorable for construction. Conducting a geological survey is mandatory to determine soil stability. Frequently, sloped plots require additional work, such as terracing or the installation of retaining walls, which significantly increases construction costs.
Equally important is infrastructure provision. You must verify how close the main utilities (electricity, gas, water, sewage) are and assess the quality of the access road. Preliminary analysis of these factors will help you avoid unforeseen expenses and make a wise investment decision.

Tabakhmela Estates by "Materia" - A New Modern Residential Complex in Tabakhmela
Considering the complexities of selecting and developing a land plot independently, the "Tabakhmela Estates" project by the development company Materia offers an interesting alternative. This is a modern residential complex spread over 8 hectares, offering interested parties fully serviced land plots.
Every essential utility will be brought to each plot: gas, water, electricity, internet, and sewage. The plots are situated at a comfortable distance from one another, ensuring residents have ample personal space.
Buyers will enjoy the freedom of choice - they can either use an architectural project offered by Materia or design an individual home. The only condition is to adhere to the settlement's general architectural style, for which the facade of any individual project must be agreed upon with the company.
Relaxation, Sports, and Security in a Modern Residential Complex
The master plan for Tabakhmela Estates includes a variety of spaces designed for sports and relaxation. The project features padel courts, football and basketball pitches, as well as a cycling track winding through the forest territory. For teenagers, there is a planned adventure park complete with a climbing wall and a ropes course.
Furthermore, a 7,000-square-meter manicured forest will be established, featuring walking trails, picnic zones, and hammocks. A separate space will be dedicated to a children's playground and a fenced walking area for pets. The entire territory will be enclosed, featuring three main entrances and 24-hour security to ensure the safety of residents. Fast charging stations for electric vehicles will also be located within the complex.
In this way, the Tabakhmela Estates project combines proximity to nature with opportunities for an active lifestyle and relaxation. It aims to offer residents a fully-equipped, safe, and comfortable residential community in Tabakhmela, just a stone's throw from the city center.
