Espace Real Estate has achieved a historic milestone in Dubai’s suburban luxury market with the record-setting sale of a villa in the Saheel community of Arabian Ranches. The property was sold for AED 19 million, marking the highest transaction ever recorded in Saheel. The deal was successfully brokered by Matthew Montgomery, Sales Director at Espace Real Estate, alongside Silver Agent JJ Van der Westhuizen.
Positioned on a rare 12,500 sq ft cul-de-sac plot, this fully bespoke five-bedroom villa redefines contemporary family living. Thoughtfully redesigned, the home includes a spacious study, maid’s room, open-plan living and dining areas, a custom Febal Casa kitchen fitted with Miele appliances, and sleek modern finishes throughout. The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring a temperature-controlled private pool, a sunken firepit lounge, and multiple entertainment areas designed for al fresco dining and relaxation.
“This transaction sets a new benchmark not only for Saheel but for the wider Arabian Ranches community,” said John Lyons, Managing Director at Espace Real Estate. “It reflects the rising demand for move-in-ready, high-spec homes in Dubai’s most established villa communities, and our team’s ability to consistently deliver exceptional results for clients.”
Matthew Montgomery has been at Espace for a decade and the leader behind its top-performing North team, has been instrumental in growing the company’s villa sales operations. His role in this sale further highlights his reputation as one of the most consistent and influential figures in Dubai’s luxury residential sector.
JJ Van der Westhuizen, who began his career in South Africa before joining Espace in 2021, has quickly risen through the ranks thanks to his sharp market insight and dedication. His involvement in this transaction underlines his expanding influence within Dubai’s luxury real estate landscape, particularly in Arabian Ranches and Emirates Living. This record-breaking deal not only underscores Espace Real Estate’s strength in the premium suburban market but also highlights the growing appetite among buyers for thoughtfully renovated, turnkey villas that deliver both lifestyle and long-term value.
