Overview

Project brief

A FARM-INSPIRED VILLA ENCLAVE AT THE VALLEY

Farm Gardens 2 is a villa development by Emaar at The Valley, the master-planned community set along the Dubai–Al Ain Road, between the emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The community is built around townhouses and villas with parks, sports facilities and a Golden Beach, and Farm Gardens 2 sits within it as an enclave of larger, farm-inspired family homes.

Farm Gardens 2 holds villas offered in two designs — Horizon and Oren. Per PropSearch data, homes measure approximately 4,639 to 6,070 square feet, and the villas are noted for features such as fitted elevators, driver's rooms and large yards, with a community focus on sustainability including a hydroponics greenhouse. The development is off-plan and under construction, with works reported to have begun in June 2024.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Farm Gardens 2 is an off-plan, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for The Valley is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates above.

DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS

Farm Gardens 2 is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. For investors, this scale and delivery history provide a meaningful measure of confidence at the off-plan stage.

LOCATION: A MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY ON THE DUBAI–AL AIN ROAD

The Valley is an Emaar master-planned community along the Dubai–Al Ain Road, built around townhouses and villas with parks, sports facilities and a Golden Beach. Farm Gardens 2 is a family-oriented villa enclave within it, offering low-rise living with community amenities and road access towards both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Pre-handover resale — an off-plan villa commits limited capital ahead of completion; exit premiums depend on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
Buy-and-hold for rental — a villa community suited to family tenants supports long-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a family home in an established Emaar community.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Off-plan completion risk — the development is under construction; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
Location — The Valley sits towards the Dubai–Abu Dhabi border, further from central Dubai than established inner communities; commute and connectivity should be weighed.
Supply — The Valley has a large ongoing delivery pipeline; new phases and completions nearby can affect resale and rental pricing.
Unverified figures — no Emaar fact sheet, floor-plan pack or payment plan is held for this release; the unit sizes, unit count and payment structure shown are PropSearch-derived and should be verified against the developer's own documents before committing.

PAYMENT PLAN

Per PropSearch, a construction-linked plan is indicated: 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% on handover. This structure has not been checked against an Emaar payment plan. The full payment schedule and handover date are confirmed on request.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

Registered, not askedEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register. Asking prices, portal listings and developer price lists are excluded: they record what someone hoped for, not what was paid.
Medians, not averagesProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot at the date stated beside them, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.

Common questions

What does buying off-plan at Farm Gardens 2 involve?

Off-plan means contracting with the developer before the building is finished. In outline: you reserve the unit, sign the developer’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and pay in instalments tied to construction milestones rather than in a single sum at the start.

Buyer payments on an off-plan sale in Dubai are made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, and are released to the developer against verified construction progress. The developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department. The contract is between you and Emaar; we act as broker, not as principal.

What is the 4% DLD transfer fee, and who pays it?

The Dubai Land Department charges a property registration (transfer) fee of 4% of the price recorded on the contract, plus a fixed administrative charge. That is the rate in force as at July 2026. The statutory position splits the fee between buyer and seller; established market practice in Dubai is that the buyer pays the whole 4%.

Developers sometimes offer to absorb part or all of it on off-plan sales. Treat that as real only where it is written into the sale documents, not where it appears in marketing. Budget separately for the registration trustee charge, the Oqood registration fee on off-plan units, and — if you are borrowing — mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan amount.

What is an Oqood registration, and is it the same as a title deed?

No. Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s registration system for property that is not yet complete. When you buy off-plan, the developer lodges the SPA through Oqood, your interest is recorded on the interim property register, and you receive an initial registration certificate.

The title deed is a separate and later document, issued once the project is complete and the unit is formally transferred into your name. An off-plan purchase that is never registered leaves you off that interim register, so ask for evidence of Oqood registration once your first payment has cleared.

Can a non-UAE buyer own a unit outright?

In Dubai’s designated freehold areas, yes. Regulation No. 3 of 2006 sets out the areas in which non-UAE nationals may hold freehold title or a long lease; outside those areas ownership is restricted to UAE and GCC nationals. Ownership does not depend on holding UAE residency, and no local partner is required.

Tenure attaches to the plot rather than to a development’s marketing, so confirm what is recorded against the specific unit — freehold or leasehold, and the remaining term if leasehold — before you sign.

What happens at handover?

Once the building is complete and the completion certificate issued, you are called for handover: you inspect the unit (the snagging inspection), the developer addresses the defects listed, you settle the final instalment and any outstanding fees, and the unit is transferred into your name with a title deed issued.

Annual service charges begin at handover. They are levied per square foot at a rate approved by the regulator, so they are a recurring cost rather than a one-off. If you intend to let the unit, allow for the interval between handover and the first tenancy — a vacant unit earns nothing, and gross yield is annual rent measured against the purchase price, before those costs are taken off.

Where do the Dubai Land Department figures on this page come from?

They are drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s public transaction register — sales actually registered against Farm Gardens 2, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. They are a dated extract of the register, not a live query: the extract date is printed with the figures, and everything on this page is calculated from that single extract.

The number of sales behind every figure is shown alongside it. A median drawn from a handful of registrations carries far less weight than one drawn from several hundred, and should be read that way.

Who is Mitchell’s Realty, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Realty is the trading brand. The RERA-licensed brokerage behind it is The Luxury Real Estate Brokers LLC.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.
