Layout and Floor Plan

This standalone villa spans 3,047 sq ft across a well-considered 3-bedroom layout designed to accommodate family living with generous internal and outdoor space. As a standalone typology, the unit is detached and benefits from private outdoor space — including a dedicated garden or yard area — adding a dimension of space and privacy not available in townhouse or apartment product. The layout is expected to include three bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining space, a family living room, and a private parking area.

Payment and Handover

This villa is being sold as a distress resale at AED 5,250,000 — AED 400,000 below the original purchase price of AED 5,650,000. In addition to this headline discount, the seller is absorbing the Dubai Land Department fees paid at original acquisition, which at 4% of the original price represents approximately AED 226,000 in additional sunk cost the seller will not recover. This combination makes the effective saving for the buyer considerably larger than the AED 400,000 price reduction alone. As an off-plan resale, the buyer assumes the remaining payment obligations under the original Meraas payment plan. The full breakdown of amounts already paid, amounts outstanding, and the current installment schedule is available on request. Handover is to be confirmed with the latest update from Meraas.
