The Farmhouses, Damac Hills 2: Large Homes at the Edge of Dubai
Damac Properties developed The Farmhouses as a low-density residential enclave within Damac Hills 2, a master-planned suburb in the Dubailand corridor. The project offers 5- and 6-bedroom townhouses and villas across four configurations, targeting families who need genuine space in a freehold, standalone setting outside the core city.
Living in Damac Hills 2
Damac Hills 2 sits on the southern edge of Dubai's built-up land, roughly 30 to 35 minutes from Downtown Dubai via the Dubai Al Ain Road and around 25 minutes from Dubai Silicon Oasis. The community is largely self-contained by design. Day-to-day life depends heavily on what is available within the development itself, which matters more here than in denser parts of the city.
The outer location delivers clear advantages: lower density, open space, and quieter streets. It suits families who commute infrequently or work remotely. The drive to any central business district adds real time, particularly for daily office commuters.
What AED 6.7M to AED 11.2M Gets You Here
The price spread at The Farmhouses deserves explanation because the same price bracket covers two distinct product types.
At the entry point of AED 6,687,323, buyers can choose between a 5-bedroom villa at 3,500 sq ft (Type A) or a 5-bedroom townhouse at 5,040 sq ft (Type C). The townhouse delivers 44% more floor area at the same price. The villa gives you a standalone structure. Same money, different trade-off.
At the top end of AED 11,230,667, the pattern holds: a 6-bedroom villa at 6,500 sq ft (Type B) or a 6-bedroom townhouse at 8,387 sq ft (Type D). The townhouse again comes in significantly larger at the same price point. For a buyer who prioritizes raw space in a six-bedroom configuration, the townhouse format is the stronger argument.
Across both tiers, the pricing reflects the outer-Dubai location. The same spend buys substantially less space in Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, or Business Bay.
Townhouses and Villas by the Numbers
| Type | Bedrooms | Area | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Villa Type A | 5BR | 3,500 sq ft | AED 6,687,323 |
| Townhouse Type C | 5BR | 5,040 sq ft | AED 6,687,323 |
| Villa Type B | 6BR | 6,500 sq ft | AED 11,230,667 |
| Townhouse Type D | 6BR | 8,387 sq ft | AED 11,230,667 |
All units are five or six bedrooms. The buyer profile here is clearly family-oriented. Investors targeting short-term rental yield are less likely to find the numbers compelling at this price and location combination. This community is built for owner-occupiers.
The Amenity Set
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Leisure | Shared Pool |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
Four amenities is a practical rather than resort-level offering. The gym, shared pool, and play area are the baseline for a family compound. On-site restaurants add everyday convenience given the community's distance from urban retail. The amenity set signals a residential development, not a lifestyle project competing on facilities. The unit sizes and outdoor space carry the proposition for buyers here.
Likely Past Handover
Construction started in September 2023, with expected completion set for August 2025. That date has passed. The project is most likely at or past the handover stage, meaning buyers today are dealing with a completed or near-completed asset rather than a long off-plan wait.
20% Down, 20% at Keys
| Phase | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 60% |
| Handover | 20% |
The 20% down payment sits at the UAE off-plan market standard. The 60% during construction requires steady capital through the build period, and the remaining 20% falls due at handover. The full purchase price is settled by the time keys are exchanged.
For the entry-level 5BR unit at AED 6,687,323, the down payment is approximately AED 1.34 million. Given that the expected completion date has passed, buyers entering now are most likely purchasing a completed or near-complete unit rather than an off-plan commitment.
