6 bedroom villa in Mirador, Arabian Ranches

Sometimes you walk into a place and everything just feels sort of laid back but also just right. That's honestly what I got stepping into this six bedroom villa in Mirador at Arabian Ranches. Even before I reached the front door I noticed the landscaping looked cared for by someone who actually enjoys spending a bit of time outdoors. Not every home gets that kind of attention. Maybe it's the way the golf course catches your eye every time you look through the windows both from the garden and upstairs. Or maybe it's just knowing you can park the car in the two car garage and not have to worry about sun-warmed seats in the summer.

The villa is one of those rare Type 13 homes that people keep waiting for, and I get why. First of all, the size is no joke. You're talking a built up area of more than five thousand square feet so you really feel the space when you walk from one corner to another. The plot itself is even bigger, just under nine thousand square feet. The lawn is soft under your shoes and out back is where I imagined friends laughing over a barbecue or just quiet mornings with tea watching someone take a swing on the course.

Inside, it's still got that roomy feeling. Light floods in through the big window doors, especially in the living and dining rooms. It is honestly a house that never feels dark or stuffy. The kitchen stood out to me since it actually feels like somewhere you'd make a proper dinner, not just grab a takeaway. You can open it straight into the living area too, which is handy if you like everyone together when you cook or want to keep an eye on kids messing about while dinner's bubbling. Evenings must be nice here with the doors open and a breeze drifting through. I stood by the window for a bit and caught a quiet afternoon moment where you just let time slow down.

There are six bedrooms altogether, and it's just more practical that one of them is downstairs. People use that for guests, older family, or even a home office. Upstairs the master bedroom puts everything else to shame with its big walk in closet and the ensuite bathroom. It's the sort of thing you get used to quickly. Waking up and having so much space you never bump elbows in the morning. If you ask me, that's one of those little things that makes a house feel like your own.

You get a maid's room as well, tucked out of the way. Handy of course for anyone who needs the extra help with the day to day. The garden is a real highlight though. I just wanted to sit there a while and watch the sunlight move across the grass.

The whole Arabian Ranches community feels relaxed but connected. There are always kids biking in the evenings if you happen to look outside at the right time. You're never far from a park or a community pool if you want a swim or just cool off under the trees. Tennis courts and even basketball are nearby. There's a real neighbourhood feel to it. And if you actually have to get things done, the community centre is right there for your food shopping at the supermarket or a coffee at the Hamptons cafe. There's even a bakery and spot to get your hair cut. Sometimes you almost forget you're in Dubai and not in some quiet town.

This place is ready for you to move in around the middle of December so you could be celebrating the holidays here if you want. It honestly just fits, in that easy way you sometimes hope for but rarely find. If you want to walk around and see if it feels right for your family, let me know.
