About Terra Nova
Terra Nova is a completed sub-community of Arabian Ranches 1, Emaar's original desert-themed gated villa master community on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Santa Fe-style 4- to 7-bedroom villas of around 4,000–5,200 sq ft; asks run from about AED 5.3M to above AED 15M.
All homes are resale; pricing depends on type, plot size and whether the home backs onto the golf course, polo fields or a park. Search results give an entry point around AED 5,300,000.
The community has been handed over for many years and is fully established, with the Ranches Souk, Arabian Ranches Golf Club and JESS school in place.
