What the broker says ...

What makes the Wild Flower community stand out at Jumeirah Golf Estates?

Wild Flower is a fantastic community that offers a large park and golf course views, as well as The Fairway Marketplace and the Clubhouse within walking distance. Wild Flower was originally sold as individual plots, so it offers a range of custom villas to suit any requirements.

Is there a particular community in Jumeirah Golf Estates that appeals to investors most?

For investment, Jumeirah Golf Estates offers a range of products depending on the investor's budgets, the Alandalus Apartments offer an investment opportunity on a smaller scale. Whispering Pines, Flame Tree Ridge, Lime Tree Valley and Redwood Park – different collections of villas and townhouses – offer a fantastic opportunities at varied price levels. Investors are drawn to these communities as the rental prices have not decreased at the same level as the sales prices, so they offer good returns. That, paired with the demand for the villas, means that if a property is correctly priced it will rent very quickly, making them a very attractive investment opportunity.

The listing says it's one of the largest properties in Jumeirah Golf Estates, so would you say this is the best you're going to get for Dh40 million?

Very much so, the villa's location is on the corner of two holes so it offers panoramic views of the golf course.

The large built-up area, well thought out floor plan and quality of finish definitely make it the best you can get for the money in Jumeirah Golf Estates.
