About Terra Nova
Terra Nova brings the look of the American south west to Dubai. The villas use a Santa Fe and adobe vocabulary, with rounded parapets, earthy render and exposed timber details, a style that makes the neighbourhood easy to recognise among the Spanish themed clusters around it.
Its position is a strong point. Terra Nova faces the Arabian Ranches golf course, with Al Mahra on one side and Mirador on the other, and residents can walk to the retail centre, the clinic and Jumeirah English Speaking School, all roughly a kilometre away.
The neighbourhood has its own pool for adults and children, a basketball court, a play area and barbecue stations. With four to seven bedroom layouts, Terra Nova suits families who want a big home with golf views in the most central part of the Ranches.
