Demand for homes in Riffa Views continues to rise and the choice of properties available is growing for those looking for a safe, green, suburban lifestyle.

As Oasis and Lagoon Estates begin to fill up, investors are diverting their attention towards Riffa Views’ Park Estate.

The Park Estate is a secluded haven offset from the 18-hole Colin Montgomorie-designed signature championship golf course developed in an exotic Mediterranean architectural-style.

All the residences feature old-style courtyards with balconies constructed from traditional brick and stucco designs.

The plan is for the estate to also feature landscaped parks, walkways, tree-lined avenues, floral gardens, bike and walking trails and a village-styled piazza that will offer a selection of retail outlets and cafes.

Star Real Estate has a mansion available for sale that truly belongs on the cover of a high-class glossy magazine (and GulfWeekly’s PropertyWeekly section too!).

The two-storey stately home spreads across a land area of 3,045sq/m and the interior built-up area is 790sq/m.

The spacious interior boasts masterful moldings and finishings, plus marble and parquet flooring.

The home is also bright and airy with large windows throughout.

The living room, to the left of the entrance, boasts large pillars that emphasise the modern design.

A hallway behind the living area leads to a separate part of the house which also includes its own private entrance. This area features its own living room, a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom as well as built-in wardrobes. There is also a door that leads to the back garden and pool.

The right side of the house includes a guest closet and vanity area along with a grand dining room, storage area and a staircase that leads to the first floor.

A door also leads to the garage, an open-plan kitchen, two family areas and a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

The large kitchen leads to a smaller kitchen, used for heavy duty cooking, and to the maid’s quarters.

The first floor includes a master bedroom, a kitchenette, a family area and three other bedrooms. All bedrooms boast ensuite bathrooms and wardrobes. Some have a shower while the others have a tub. The master bedroom, of course, has both, along with ‘his and hers’ sinks and a walk-in closet.

The laundry facilities are on the second floor along with access to the roof and another maid’s room with a bathroom.

There is an outside dining area as well as a shower and washroom. The back garden has been left bare and can comfortably fit in a tennis court. The double garage is large enough to fit three vehicles and there is also a driver’s room.

Luxury looks like this.
