Indian-origin businessman and Wyndham councillor Intaj Khan is building a sprawling $9.5 million mansion in the Tarneit in Melbourne’s west.
The massive 10-acre land block will see a 2400 square meter manor house built on it, complete with a helipad, a tennis court, two swimming pools, a gym, a library and a 30-seat theatre. Tarneit is among the most affordable areas in Melbourne with a sizeable presence of Indian- Australians choosing to call it their home.

Cr. Khan’s upcoming 16-bedroom residence has been dubbed as ‘InTAJ Mahal’ by some, a home definitely large enough to accommodate his wife and five children.
Cr. Intaj Khan hopes to move to his imposing mansion sometime next year.
The announcement to spend $9.5 million on a residential property in Tarneit raised quite a few eyebrows.
“Some people have said ‘You’d have to be an idiot to spend $9.5 million in the west, you’ll never get that money back,” says Cr. Khan.
“But why would I go to Brighton or Toorak? You’re not going to get a 10-acre block in Toorak,” he told Domain.
The ‘InTAJ Mahal’ will have four kitchens, two outdoor cooking areas, twelve large living areas plus eight spacious dining areas, five large outdoor entertainment areas, seven secure car spaces and over thirty onsite car spaces, two large meeting rooms.

The house will also boast of sauna and spa, both indoors and outdoors, and a children’s play area complete with a waterslide.
