OVERVIEW
Farm Gardens is Emaar’s flagship agricultural-lifestyle villa cluster within The Valley — built around working community farms, a botanical garden, and a ghaf forest rather than a standard landscaped park. Phase 1 is set for handover around August 2026; Phase 2 follows with an expected Q1 2028 handover.
Both phases share the same DNA: full-time onsite farmers who help residents grow and harvest their own vegetables, large backyards built to fit both a pool and an “agricultural pod,” and two contemporary architectural styles — Horizon and Earth (Phase 1) / Horizon and Oren (Phase 2).
THE BUILDINGS OF FARM GARDENS
- Farm Gardens (Phase 1) — 4 & 5-bedroom villas, plot sizes 8,000–10,000 sq ft, two façade styles (Horizon and Earth)
- Farm Gardens 2 — 4 & 5-bedroom villas, 4BR averaging ~6,642 sq ft BUA, 5BR ~8,074 sq ft BUA, plots up to 10,000 sq ft, styles Horizon and Oren
- Corner and park-facing plots (like Unit 178, Plot 10259) sit at the top of the size range and carry the clearest premium within the cluster
- Both phases share the community’s central amenities rather than each having a separate identity — buyers are effectively paying for the “farm concept” positioning across either phase
AMENITIES

- Botanical garden and ghaf forest

LOCATION AND CONNECTIVITY
- Sits at the intersection of Al Ain–Dubai Road (E66) and Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road (E77)
- Downtown Dubai: ~25 minutes via E66; Dubai Mall specifically ~34 minutes
- Dubai International Airport (DXB): ~30–35 minutes; Al Maktoum International Airport: ~40 minutes and positioned closer than DXB
- Palm Jumeirah ~45 minutes, Burj Al Arab ~44 minutes, The Walk JBR ~50 minutes
- Nearby: Damac Hills 2 (~6 km), The Villa community (~11 km)
- Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai Academic City both ~15 minutes — relevant for schooling (Ranches Primary School, Academic City institutions) and healthcare (Dubai London Clinic, Health Hub Clinic)
- No direct metro connection today — the community is car-dependent, though future transit expansion toward Academic City and Dubai Outlet Mall is planned; Uber/Careem cover the gap in the meantime
WHY BUYERS CHOOSE FARM GARDENS
- The only genuine farm-to-table concept community in The Valley — community farming allotments, greenhouse, and dedicated farmer support are not replicated elsewhere in the master plan
- Botanical garden, ghaf forest, and stargazing platforms with a desert majlis
- Wellness Center with gym, adult and children’s pools, spa, plunge pool, and restaurant
- Access to shared Valley-wide amenities: barbecue areas, kids’ play zones, dining, a farmers’ market, jogging/cycling paths, and sports facilities
- Positioned off Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66), ~8 minutes to The Sevens Stadium
PRICES AND MARKET PERFORMANCE
The Valley as a whole has logged 808 villa sales over the past 12 months, averaging ~AED 3.5M (~AED 1,354/sq ft), with most transactions in the 4-bedroom segment. But that blended average masks a real split in the market:
Comparison with similar-segment communities in The Valley
| Cluster | Positioning | Avg. price/sq ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farm Gardens / Farm Gardens 2 | Premium — farm concept | up to ~AED 2,000 (off-plan) | Distinct amenity set, largest plots in this comparison |
| Sobha Elwood | Premium | Comparable to Farm Gardens | Non-Emaar premium alternative in same price tier |
| Farm Grove 2 | Premium | Comparable to Farm Gardens | Sister community, similar concept/pricing |
| Rivana | Value/entry | Below community average | One of the more affordable clusters |
| Elora | Value/entry | Below community average | Entry-level pricing, strong yields |
| Lillia | Value/entry | Below community average | Entry-level pricing |
| The Valley (all clusters, blended) | Mixed | ~AED 1,294/sq ft | 23 sub-communities blended together |
Reading the comparison: Farm Gardens sits at the top of The Valley’s pricing ladder alongside Sobha Elwood and Farm Grove 2 — roughly 50%+ above the community-wide blended average.
That premium is concept-driven (the farming/wellness positioning) rather than just size-driven, since Rivana, Elora, and Lillia are priced well below it despite also offering villa product in the same master plan.
SERVICE CHARGES
Service charge data specific to Farm Gardens should be confirmed via Mollak before transaction — as a newer/off-plan phase, published community rates may not yet be finalized for all blocks.
WHO FARM GARDENS SUITS
- End users / families who want a genuinely different lifestyle concept — hands-on gardening, farm-to-table, wellness-first — not just another villa community with a pool
- Buyers prioritizing plot size — Farm Gardens plots run up to 10,000 sq ft, among the largest in The Valley
- Investors targeting the premium tier of The Valley, where Farm Gardens, Sobha Elwood, and Farm Grove 2 compete directly
