Emaar Farm Gardens Villas The Valley Dubai

Farm Gardens is Emaar's Q4 2022 release of 146 detached farmhouse villas at The Valley on the Dubai–Al Ain Road: 4 and 5-bedroom homes of about 4,950 and 5,656 sq ft on plots of 8,914 to 10,004 sq ft, in two styles named Horizon and Earth. The launch price was AED 5.1 million (about Rs 13.13 crore) on an 80/20 plan, construction began in March 2023, and the handover dates in print run from Q1 to Q3 2026 with none yet confirmed delivered.

What you are buying here is land. Every other cluster in this set sits on 1,500 to 2,800 sq ft of plot; Farm Gardens gives each house roughly 9,000 sq ft, enough for a pool and a growing plot. The release is sold out, so a buyer today pays a seller's premium on a first-phase contract.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Every source agrees on AED 5.1 million at launch; none prints a 5-bedroom price or a resale range. About AED 1,030 per built-up foot is the highest in this set, but on a 9,000 sq ft plot the land is most of the value, and at about AED 572 per plot foot it is the cheapest freehold land Emaar sold at The Valley.

Emaar relaunched the concept as Farm Gardens 2 at AED 7.26 million with bigger houses and a Q1 2028 date — 42% more for a home two years further away — the best published evidence of where a first-phase resale should sit. The seller's statement and the SPA show what the contract has paid in.

Payment plan and total cost

80/20: 10% on booking, 70% through construction, 20% at handover. Worked on the AED 5,100,000 launch price of the entry 4-bedroom:

A 2026 buyer reimburses a seller who has paid most or all of the 80%, so the cash is needed up front: the paid-in sum plus the premium through the DLD trustee, 4% on the transfer, then AED 1,020,000 to Emaar at the keys, the largest single instalment in this set. Get Emaar's no-objection certificate and the statement first.

Service charges are the open question. The townhouse-based estimate of AED 14 to 18 per sq ft a year would already be AED 69,000 to 89,000 a year on 4,950 sq ft of building; no source says how a 9,000 sq ft plot is billed, so ask for the budget. Final as per the SPA.

Location and connectivity

The Valley is Emaar's suburb on the Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66) at the Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road (E77) junction, beyond Dubailand. Emaar prints 28 minutes to Downtown, the area guides say 25 to 30, and Dubai International Airport is about 30 minutes. There is no metro; plan on two cars.

Farm Gardens sits with Farm Grove and Farm Gardens 2 on the farmhouse side of a master plan of about 200 hectares and more than 4,500 homes, whose Town Centre, Golden Beach lagoon, Sports Village and Kids' Dale are built. No source names a school open inside the community; Academic City and Silicon Oasis remain the nearest.

For a smaller house in the same community, Alana is the twin-villa cluster from AED 3.5 million and Lillia the 3 and 4-bed townhouse cluster from AED 2.05 million. Emaar's Dubai releases we track are on the Emaar hub, the emirate's on all Dubai projects and the site's on the projects page.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted for the villas: detached two-storey houses of 4 and 5 bedrooms in the Horizon and Earth styles, on plots of 8,914 to 10,004 sq ft with backyards sized for a swimming pool and agricultural pods. For the cluster: farming allotments, hydroponics facilities, a petting zoo and animal farm, a desert majlis, a bonfire area, a grand lawn, picnic spots and stargazing platforms.

Not published: the finish schedule, appliance brands, whether the pool is included or a paid option, parking per villa or the service-charge budget. Emaar's December 2022 brochure has the floor plans; ask for the plot plan and orientation of the specific villa, because on lots this size a corner plot and a mid-row one can differ by thousands of square feet.

About the developer

Emaar Properties, builder of Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Hills Estate, is Dubai's largest developer: more than 120,000 homes delivered worldwide since 1997, more than 109,000 handed over in Dubai since 2002, over 180 completed buildings in the city. One analysis puts about 80% of its projects within six months of the stated handover date; another records delays of three to nine months on large phased launches, and no cancellations. Its reported backlog was AED 163.4 billion at 31 March 2026.

At The Valley, Eden launched in 2019 and was delivered in June 2023; Nara, Talia and Orania are reported completed on or ahead of schedule. Farm Gardens is the first cluster whose date has moved in print, from Q1 2026 to Q3 2026 — inside Emaar's usual three-to-nine-month band, but worth watching.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. The Valley is freehold for every nationality, with the title deed in your own name — for a plot this size, the point. There is no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale, so the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee — AED 204,000 on the launch price, charged again on a resale — plus the AED 40 Oqood fee and trustee charges.

Golden Visa and remittance. At AED 5.1 million Farm Gardens clears the AED 2 million threshold by AED 3.1 million, and one villa covers the whole family's application; the Golden Visa guide has the rules. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per Indian financial year, and AED 5.1 million is about USD 1.39 million — six allowances for one remitter, three years for a couple, two years for three adults. On a resale most of it is needed at transfer, so plan the financial years before the offer.

Yield and exit. There is no yield case yet. The 6 to 7% quoted for The Valley belongs to townhouses renting at AED 90,000 to 120,000; a AED 5.1 million villa needs AED 255,000 a year to return 5%, and no source quotes a villa rent at The Valley. Treat Farm Gardens as a home or a land holding. On exit, 146 homes is a thin market — good when you hold, slow when you sell. Rent and capital gains are taxable in India for an Indian tax resident, with the UAE–India treaty deciding the credit.

Pros

• Plots of 8,914 to 10,004 sq ft — three to six times the plot of any Valley townhouse, at about AED 572 per plot sq ft
• Detached houses of 4,950 to 5,656 sq ft; nothing else in this set is detached
• Clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold by AED 3.1 million
• Farm Gardens 2 launched 42% higher at AED 7.26 million, supporting first-phase resale values
• Emaar, with more than 109,000 Dubai homes handed over and no cancellations on record
• Only 146 homes, so the resale queue at handover is short

Cons

• Three handover dates are in print and the earliest, Q1 2026, has passed without a confirmed delivery
• AED 5.1 million at launch, and the developer's release is sold out, so a buyer pays a seller's premium on top
• 20% at the keys is AED 1,020,000 in one instalment on the entry villa
• A yield case is hard to make: a 5% return needs AED 255,000 of rent, and no source quotes a villa rent at The Valley
• Service charge not published; AED 14 to 18 per built-up sq ft would already be AED 69,000 to 89,000 a year
• No source prints the DLD project number, the escrow bank or whether the pool is included

Who this is for

• Families who want a detached house on a large plot inside a gated Emaar community, and will live in it
• Golden Visa buyers who prefer one substantial house to several apartments
• Indian buyers who can plan USD 1.39 million across LRS allowances for a family of two or three remitters
• Buyers who want the first-phase price on a concept Emaar has since relaunched at AED 7.26 million

Who should look elsewhere

• Yield investors: villa rents at The Valley are not published and will not match the townhouse yields
• Anyone who needs a confirmed handover date before committing
• Buyers who cannot fund AED 1 million in one instalment at the keys
• Anyone who wants a lock-and-leave home; a 9,000 sq ft plot needs upkeep

Our verdict

Farm Gardens is the one cluster in this set where the plot, not the house, is the asset, and Emaar's own relaunch at AED 7.26 million tells you what it thinks the first phase was worth. The worries are honest ones: three handover dates in print with the earliest passed, a AED 1 million final instalment, an unpublished service-charge basis, and no evidence of what a villa like this rents for. It is a home to own, not a yield to buy: to live in, the arithmetic works; to let, it does not yet.

A good buy for a family that wants a detached house on a large plot in a gated Emaar community and can fund AED 5 million plus a resale premium without needing rent to justify it. Insist on the SPA completion date, the paid-instalment statement and the service-charge budget before agreeing a price, and confirm the contract is for this phase and not Farm Gardens 2.

FAQs

What is the price of Farm Gardens at The Valley?

Emaar launched Farm Gardens in Q4 2022 from AED 5.1 million — about Rs 13.13 crore or USD 1.39 million — for a 4-bedroom villa of about 4,950 sq ft on a plot of 8,914 sq ft or more, roughly AED 1,030 per built-up sq ft. The release is sold out, so today's prices are resale contracts above that.

What is the payment plan?

80/20: 10% on booking, 70% through construction and 20% at handover. On AED 5,100,000 that is AED 510,000 at booking, AED 3,570,000 across the build and AED 1,020,000 at the keys, plus the 4% DLD fee of AED 204,000 — about AED 5.3 million in all. A resale buyer reimburses the seller's paid instalments plus the premium, then owes Emaar the rest.

When is the handover?

The sources disagree: Q1 2026 on older agency pages, August 2026 on Property Finder and Q3 2026 on propsearch, and none confirms delivery as of late September 2026. Construction began in March 2023. The SPA completion date and Emaar's handover notice settle it.

How big are the villas and plots?

The 4-bedroom is about 4,950 sq ft and the 5-bedroom about 5,656 sq ft built-up, on plots of about 8,914 to 10,004 sq ft — Emaar's own page says 8,000 to 10,000 sq ft lots with backyards sized for a pool and agricultural pods. There are 146 villas in two styles, Horizon and Earth.

Does Farm Gardens qualify for a Golden Visa?

Yes: AED 5.1 million clears the AED 2 million threshold by AED 3.1 million. Confirm with the Dubai Land Department at what payment stage an off-plan buyer can apply.

What is the difference between Farm Gardens, Farm Gardens 2 and Farm Grove?

Three separate farmhouse-villa releases. Farm Gardens is the first, 146 villas from AED 5.1 million; Farm Gardens 2 followed from AED 7.26 million with about 6,642 and 8,074 sq ft built-up and a Q1 2028 date; Farm Grove is later. Check which registration a contract belongs to before paying.

How does the LRS limit work on a AED 5.1 million villa?

The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per Indian financial year. AED 5.1 million is about USD 1.39 million — six allowances for one person, three years for a couple, or two years if three family members remit. On a resale most of it is due at transfer, so plan the financial-year timing first.

What will the service charge be?

Not published. The townhouse-based estimate of AED 14 to 18 per sq ft a year gives AED 69,000 to 89,000 on 4,950 sq ft of building; how a 9,000 sq ft plot is billed is not stated. Ask for the budget before you sign.
