Al Mouj Muscat, Oman’s leading mixed Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC), is witnessing a strong demand for its latest launch of new contemporary homes, Ghadeer Villas.

Promising to make family life truly exceptional, Ghadeer Villas at Al Mouj Muscat offers a selection of elegant three- and fourbedroom homes, featuring private courtyards and garden spaces, and surrounded by open parkland and abundant landscaping. Al Mouj Muscat revealed the new neighbourhood of three- and four-bedroom family homes with customers having already purchased more than 50 percent of the initially released homes. “We are working in a very challenging market currently, so to achieve such strong results for a new launch is very positive news,” said Nasser bin Masoud Al Sheibani, CEO of Al Mouj Muscat.

“We listened very carefully to the market in planning Ghadeer Villas, and the sales reflect that. The homes and neighbourhood are designed based on what buyers told us they wanted. They are a new category of home for the community and will make an important contribution to its future growth.”

Positioned between Al Mouj Muscat’s apartments and townhouses at one end of the scale, and the larger luxury villas at the upper end, Ghadeer Villas focus on the everyday elements that families use most in a home, to deliver an exceptional mix of quality and value.

Ghadeer Villas play close attention to thoughtful design and family living. The main living areas, including lounge, dining and kitchen, are arranged in one light-filled openplan space that brings families together – but there is also a smaller second living room so that parents and children can have their own space when needed. Bedrooms are spacious, a private garden encourages outdoor living, and the standard of finish and fit-out is high.

Importantly, they are in a community where people want to live, and where almost half the total land is already built-up.

Al Mouj Muscat currently has more than 8000 residents from 80 nationalities, with over 2,200 homes complete and handed over. The PGA-standard Al Mouj Golf is open, as is Al Mouj Marina for sailing and watersports. Further, there are more than 70 retail and dining outlets, and two hotels are open with a third under construction. Parks, play areas, walking and cycling paths, tennis courts, community swimming pools and a natural beach complete the appeal.

“People can see the lifestyle they are buying into at Al Mouj Muscat, and that everything is already here for them to enjoy,” said Al Sheibani. “That’s an important factor that helps us outperform the general property market. People will pay a premium for the location and amenities, they know that the community will offer sound resale values in the future, and investors feel confident of finding tenants for a rental property.”

Each home features large open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas on the ground floor, enhancing quality family time, with full-height glass doors opening onto the rear garden. Three bedrooms and an additional living space are on the upper floor, with balconies or terraces overlooking the outdoors. Four-bedroom floorplans additionally offer a ground-floor guest bedroom and a double-height foyer creating a grand entrance, with a private swimming pool available as an upgrade. All villas are furnished with the premium quality materials and fittings you would expect from an Al Mouj property.

Creating a sense of connection to Oman’s natural heritage, landscaped areas are inspired by traditional wadis and falaj systems, while selected villas offer creek or park views. Green spaces and walkways connect community amenities including shared swimming pools, children’s play areas, nursery, and Masjid.

Saleh Al-Siyabi, vice president sales, said that a total of 41 villas are being planned with 21 being launched now. Each villa is priced at RO261,000. “Fifty per cent of the buyers at the residential development are Omanis, while the rest are other nationalities,” he added.
