Emirates Hills mansions and villas for sale
Last updated
Emirates Hills is Dubai's long-established mansion address: golf fairways, lakes, and plots large enough for a house that is built for one family rather than a developer template.
Sale prices here often sit a long way above the rents, which is why a buyer should separate a house they want to live in from one they hope to let. The Private Office covers both the public list and the houses that are never advertised.
Private Office homes in Emirates Hills
The homes below are the instructions we can show on 14 November 2026. Others are offered only after a conversation.
None of these homes are on the public list at the moment. Ask the Private Office what is being held back.
Golf-course and lake mansions
Sector letters are the local map. A fairway plot and a lake plot behave differently, and an internal road plot is a different house again. We start with the plot and the rebuild cost, not with the brochure photograph.
Plots in Emirates Hills
Some of the best instructions are plots, or houses a buyer intends to replace. The question is what can be built, and what the finished house would be worth, not what the existing villa last transacted for a decade ago.
Buying in Emirates Hills from overseas
Emirates Hills is a freehold part of Dubai, so a buyer of any nationality can own the home outright. A purchase of AED 2 million or more can support an application for a ten-year UAE Golden Visa. There is no annual property tax. Buyers pay the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% of the price, plus registration and agency fees. Where a family office or a company is the buyer, we work with your lawyers from the first call.
Selling an Emirates Hills mansion
If you are thinking of selling in Emirates Hills, we can show the home privately to buyers we already know before it goes anywhere public. That conversation starts with a confidential valuation, not a listing form.
The figures below are Allsopp & Allsopp agreed sales and lettings across Emirates Hills, not a super-prime cut and not a count of deals.

Questions
- Can foreigners buy property in Emirates Hills?
- Yes. Emirates Hills is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home outright, with title registered at the Dubai Land Department.
- Why do buyers compare Emirates Hills with Palm Jumeirah?
- They are the two established super-prime choices: a golf and lake mansion in Emirates Hills, or a beach villa on Palm Jumeirah. The right one depends on whether you want sand or fairway, and how large a plot you need.
- How do I sell a luxury villa in Dubai discreetly?
- Ask the Private Office for a confidential valuation. We can present your home to qualified buyers before, or instead of, listing it publicly, so the price and address are not published.
- Is there property tax on luxury homes in Dubai?
- There is no annual property tax in Dubai. Buyers pay a one-off Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% of the price, plus registration and agency fees.
