At Original Purchase Price | Single Row | Far from Main Road | 2,987 Sqft BUA | Q4 2027 | AED 4,650,000
This is a motivated seller listing for a 3-bedroom plus maid's room standalone single-row villa in the Sanctuary cluster of Haven by Aldar, Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubailand, Dubai, UAE. The seller is selling at their original purchase price of AED 4,650,000 — exiting with zero profit. Including the 4% DLD the seller paid at Oqood registration (~AED 186,000), the buyer acquires the villa at approximately AED 186,000 (3.86%) below the seller's total all-in cost of ~AED 4,836,000. The seller absorbs their entire DLD and accepts no return on their investment — a clear signal of genuine exit motivation. The villa is a standalone single-row unit positioned away from the main road — the most sought-after plot configuration within any Dubailand villa community, providing maximum privacy, minimal road noise, and natural light on multiple exterior-facing sides. At 2,987 sq ft BUA on a 3,520 sq ft plot, with a maid's room and private garden, this is one of the most complete and spacious 3-bedroom villa configurations available in Haven. With 38.5% of the purchase price already paid, the buyer assumes a structured two-instalment balance: AED 1,120,000 in May 2027 and AED 1,570,000 on Q4 2027 handover — with the handover balance of AED 1,570,000 mortgageable from UAE banks. Haven by Aldar is Aldar Properties' first-ever project in Dubai — a landmark debut from Abu Dhabi's largest developer — and Dubai's first residential community to achieve Fitwel certification, the internationally recognised standard for buildings designed to support occupant health and well-being.

About Haven by Aldar — Dubai's First Fitwel-Certified Community
Haven by Aldar is a landmark residential master community in Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubailand — representing Aldar Properties' debut in the Dubai market and establishing a new standard for wellness-certified residential living in the emirate. Developed by Aldar Properties (Abu Dhabi's largest and most trusted developer with 53,000+ delivered homes, FTSE-listed) in partnership with Dubai Holding, Haven spans 2,428 residential units across multiple distinctive villa and townhouse clusters, including Sanctuary, Serenity, Oasis, Tranquillity, Ferns, Falls, and Park Haven, each designed around a specific wellness and lifestyle theme. The project holds the distinction of being Dubai's first residential community to achieve Fitwel certification — the internationally recognised building health standard developed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the General Services Administration (GSA) — confirming that Haven's design, materials, ventilation, lighting, and community infrastructure have been independently verified to support the physical and mental well-being of residents. The Sanctuary cluster where this villa is located is one of Haven's premium villa sub-communities, offering standalone 3-bedroom Serene Villas with private gardens, maid's rooms, and access to Sanctuary's dedicated cluster clubhouse and wellness amenities. Aldar's entry into Dubai with Haven was notably successful — all phases launched have sold out at developer level, and the secondary market has seen consistent price appreciation since launch.
Why Single Row Far from Main Road Matters
Within any Dubailand villa community, plot position is a primary driver of pricing, rental value, and occupant quality of life. A single-row villa is one that has only one adjacent neighbour (on one side only) versus an interior mid-row villa that is flanked on both sides. This means: more natural light from the additional exterior-facing elevation, a wider garden footprint, greater visual and acoustic privacy, and a more spacious feel — both inside and outside the home. The additional qualifier — far from the main road — eliminates road noise, traffic movement, and headlight disturbance that affect villas closer to the community's arterial roads. Together, single-row and far-from-main-road are the two most commercially significant plot attributes in any Dubai villa community, typically commanding a 5–15% premium at resale versus comparable interior mid-row units on the same community. This seller is offering both attributes at OP pricing — with no premium.
Community and Lifestyle — Wellness Living in Haven
- Haven is built around a Fitwel-certified wellness philosophy — every design decision, material choice, and amenity is oriented toward supporting the physical and mental well-being of residents. Air quality monitoring, smart ventilation, natural materials, and biophilic design features are integrated into every home
- The signature Tree House social hub is Haven's community centrepiece — a multi-level communal space inspired by a woodland treehouse concept, housing a co-working centre, social gathering areas, and event spaces that define the community's creative and collaborative identity
- Swimmable streams, reflective water features, and shaded walkways create a nature-immersive outdoor environment across the community — unusual for a Dubailand villa project and directly aligned with Haven's Fitwel certification requirements
- Reflexology paths, meditation pavilions, and wellness concierge services are community amenities unique to Haven in the Dubailand villa market — no competing community offers this wellness infrastructure at equivalent villa sizes and price points
- GEMS FirstPoint School (rated Very Good by KHDA) is 0.7 km from Haven — one of the closest quality school-to-community distances in Dubailand. The Aquila School is 1.1 km
- Positioned on Emirates Road (E611) with Al Ain Road (E66) nearby — dual highway access providing direct connectivity north toward Downtown Dubai (~25 minutes), south toward DWC (~30 minutes), and east toward Abu Dhabi
- Al Habtoor Polo Resort — one of the UAE's premier equestrian and luxury resort destinations — is directly opposite Haven on E611
- Global Village is approximately 10 minutes; Dubai Outlet Mall approximately 8 minutes; Villanova community approximately 5 minutes; Arabian Ranches approximately 20 minutes
- The Dubailand-Emirates Road corridor is one of Dubai's fastest-appreciating residential corridors, with projected 15–20% capital appreciation by Q3/Q4 2027 handover confirmed by multiple independent market analysts

Layout and Floor Plan
Haven Sanctuary 3-bedroom standalone villas (Serene Villa category) have a BUA of approximately 2,987 sq ft — one of the most spacious 3-bedroom configurations in the Dubailand villa market at this price point. The standard Serene Villa layout includes: Ground floor — an open-plan living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the private garden, a show kitchen and a functional/wet kitchen (Haven's dual kitchen specification), a maid's room with en-suite bathroom, a laundry room, a powder room, and a 2-car garage. First floor — a master bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom, and terrace overlooking the garden and community, two additional bedrooms each with wardrobe and access to a shared bathroom, and a family lounge. The standalone single-row positioning means the villa has more exterior-facing elevations than a mid-row unit — delivering natural light on three sides and a wider, more private garden area. The plot of 3,520 sq ft provides ample outdoor space for the private garden and potential for a private pool installation. The full floor plan, villa exact position within Sanctuary cluster, and facade style are available on request quoting HAVEN-SNCT-3BR-2987-SR-001.
Payment Plan and Handover
Haven Serene Villas were launched with a 60/40 payment plan with 5% down on booking. The seller has paid AED 1,792,180 (~38.5% of AED 4,650,000). The buyer assumes the structured remaining payments: AED 1,120,000 due in May 2027, and AED 1,570,000 due on Q4 2027 handover. The Q4 2027 handover balance of AED 1,570,000 (approximately 33.8% of the purchase price) can be financed by UAE bank mortgage, including for non-resident buyers — enabling investors to move in or place a tenant from Q4 2027 while financing the remaining balance. Note: the seller states Q4 2027; Aldar's published target for Haven is Q3 2027. Buyers should verify the latest construction milestone with Aldar Properties or through our team. On assignment: DLD 4% (~AED 186,000 on AED 4,650,000) + trustee fee (~AED 4,200) + buyer agency ~2% (~AED 93,000) = approximately AED 4,933,200 all-in at assignment (before the May 2027 and Q4 2027 installments). Full paid/outstanding schedule and original Aldar SPA on request.

Why Buy This Haven Sanctuary Villa Now
- Selling at OP — seller absorbs DLD, exits with zero profit: The seller is selling at exactly their original purchase price of AED 4,650,000 — the same price they paid to Aldar at launch. They have earned nothing from holding the asset and absorbed their entire 4% DLD payment (~AED 186,000) as a personal loss. The buyer acquires at AED 186,000 below the seller's total all-in cost. This is a seller exiting at their floor — a genuine motivated transaction
- Single row + far from main road = premium plot, no premium price: The two most commercially valuable plot attributes in any Dubai villa community are offered here at OP pricing. Single-row villas in Haven's secondary market command 5–15% premiums over mid-row equivalents. Far-from-main-road positioning commands an additional acoustic and privacy premium. Both are offered without surcharge at this listing's price
- Standalone villa — not a townhouse: Haven offers both townhouses and standalone villas. This is a standalone villa — a fully detached residence with no shared walls. At AED 4,650,000 for a standalone 3BR+maid villa at 2,987 sqft BUA in a Fitwel-certified wellness community in Dubailand, this is exceptional value relative to standalone villa pricing in comparable communities
- 38.5% paid — structured two-installment balance, top mortgageable: AED 1,792,180 already paid. The buyer's remaining commitment is clearly structured: AED 1,120,000 in May 2027 and AED 1,570,000 at Q4 2027 handover. The handover balance is mortgageable — enabling investors to leverage and generate rental income from day one
- AED 1,557/sqft — very competitive for Aldar-branded Dubailand wellness villa: At AED 1,557/sqft BUA, this is materially below the pricing trajectory for Aldar's subsequent Haven phases and below comparable standalone villa pricing in established Dubailand communities (Arabian Ranches, Villanova, The Villa). The 3-star Fitwel certification provides a structural wellness premium above un-certified Dubailand villa communities
- Aldar's first Dubai project — brand premium from Abu Dhabi's largest developer: Haven is Aldar's debut in the Dubai market. Aldar Properties is Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer (FTSE-listed, 53,000+ delivered homes) with a track record spanning Al Raha Beach, Yas Acres, Saadiyat Island, and Alghadeer. Their entry into Dubai at Haven has been entirely sold out at developer level — confirming market confidence in the brand's debut and the secondary market scarcity that drives capital appreciation for existing unit holders
- Dubai's first Fitwel-certified community: The Fitwel certification is independently awarded and cannot be claimed without third-party verification. Haven's status as Dubai's first Fitwel-certified residential community is a documented, verifiable differentiator that commands a measurable rental and resale premium over non-certified competing communities — the wellness premium is estimated at 15–20% above comparable non-certified Dubailand villas
- 15–20% capital appreciation projected by handover: Multiple independent market sources confirm projected capital appreciation of 15–20% from Haven's launch pricing to Q3/Q4 2027 handover, driven by Aldar's market entry discount strategy and the wellness premium in the post-pandemic luxury residential market
- Golden Visa eligible: At AED 4,650,000 — well above the AED 2M threshold — the buyer qualifies for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa
Golden Visa eligibility, rental and yield figures, handover timing and transport connectivity described above reflect source information published as at 17 August 2026 and can change. Confirm current status before relying on them.
