Located in a tranquil setting on the outskirts of the famous Scottish city of Dundee is a development of desirable golf course properties consisting of various designs of three and four bedroom homes. 

The development is in a wooded and secluded area offering residents the chance to enjoy rural bliss and yet all homes within the Castle Gardens property development in Dundee have straightforward access to major commuting routes to enable them to access the main employment hotspots in Scotland.

Castle Gardens is a development from esteemed local Scottish construction group Stewart Milne Homes which is a company specializing in the development and construction of superior and luxury properties across Scotland and this development is a typical example of their attention to detail, quality design and innovative construction methods.

Each of the villa homes at the Castle Gardens development has views of the Ballumbie Castle Golf Course, each comes with substantial garaging facilities as well as excellently spacious living accommodation and well laid out gardens making each desirable golf course property in Scotland on the Castle Gardens estate a home that is easy and comfortable to live in and yet impressively located and designed so as to wow friends and colleagues – which is after all important!

Prices start from GBP 204,000 and go up towards the GBP 300,000 mark meaning that they are at the higher end of the affordability scale and therefore attracting affluent city commuting families.  In the local area there are excellent schools and shopping facilities as well as health care services which means that Castle Gardens is a perfect place for family living.

The homes all have direct access to plenty of walks and some stunning scenery and of course golf lovers need only cross the road to play on the Ballumbie Castle Golf Course.

One of the nicest home designs on the Castle Gardens estate in Dundee in our opinion is the Killearn (pictured) which is a four bedroom villa home with a garage and which offers buyers everything from the best in integrated German appliances to designer kitchens and bathroom suites…to find out more you can visit the show home or you can contact Stewart Milne Homes via their website.

We thought we’d introduce you to a whole new destination for property today and look at Ras Al Khaimah property developments which offer the discerning buyer the chance to own stunning freehold property in resorts that offer an abundance of luxurious amenities and facilities and which are less than an hour’s drive away from Dubai - and all for prices between 20 and 30% less than similarly located and facilitated residences in Dubai itself…

Ras Al Khaimah is a lesser known member of the United Arab Emirates but one that is gaining ground in terms of appeal and importance – it’s a destination that has learnt from the successes and mistakes of neighbouring Dubai and one that is seeking to cash in on Dubai’s lack of space and overwhelmed infrastructure by offering those working in the emirate a more affordable, peaceful, beautiful and relaxed place to live.

Luckily Ras Al Khaimah has taken on board all of the things that Dubai has done properly such as offering freehold property to foreigners who buy within certain designated communities – one of which is Mina Al Arab for example (pictured) where buyers can choose from sumptuous apartments in lively districts or exclusive detached villa homes with access to private beaches for example.

Mina Al Arab consists of six very distinct districts which each has their own unique feel and flavour – there are exotic wetlands and lagoons, pristine white sandy beaches, a theme park district, a harbour, eco lodge and even a dune retreat within the six districts which each offer a different type of accommodation option.

Within Mina Al Arab there are hotels and holiday facilities as well because the entire expansive resort is equally attractive for those who wish to escape to the sun or those who wish to live in Ras Al Khaimah and take every day as a holiday.

As a location to watch Ras Al Khaimah is definitely hot – it has so much on its doorstep in the form of the unique delights of Dubai but at the moment it is still affordable and it is not as overcrowded and congested as Dubai so for those who love the exotic Arabian culture that the UAE offers but who prefer a little luxurious seclusion, consider the new Ras Al Khaimah property developments that are beginning to emerge.

Situated in Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic, The Fishing Lodge is an exclusive thirty acre, beach front resort featuring fine residences for sale to the discerning buyer, a five star hotel, nine restaurants specializing in the most superb international cuisine, a mega marina, access to three Jack Nicklaus designed golf courses and an elegant shopping plaza which will house only the optimum, hand picked boutiques.

If you want Dominican Republic dream homes then by Jove, I think we’ve found them for you – but remember, as always if you have to ask the price then you can’t afford to buy (actually condos at The Fishing Lodge start from just USD 370,000!).

Cap Cana has miles upon miles of white sandy beaches as well as world class golf courses and an impressive mega marina soon to be full of yachts whose owners will be residing in their very own property at The Fishing Lodge. 

For sale are stunningly and sumptuously designed one, two and three bedroom condominiums offering the buyer the chance to holiday in one of the most stunning spots on earth whilst benefiting from the ownership of an excellent investment property that can be let out or preserved for long term capital appreciation purposes.

The Fishing Lodge is going to become an address in the Dominican Republic synonymous with ‘lifestyle’ and ‘celebrity’, ‘luxury’ and ‘sumptuosity’ (we made that word up in case you were wondering) and if you want a Caribbean property offering the owner something just a little bit special then Cap Cana is the place to head.

All of the properties that are available for sale at The Fishing Lodge will have direct access via private docks to swimming pools that are available on many different levels and which make this particular property development something seriously special.  The combination of the water, white sandy beaches and exceptional levels of Caribbean sunshine will create a feeling of wellbeing in residents but if the natural environment isn’t enough to excite you then check out all of the first class amenities and facilities within the resort or within easy reach of it. 

You can shop ‘til you drop, dance the night away, eat at a different restaurant every night, play a few rounds of golf on a few different championship golf courses and of course sail away on your yacht when you have the urge for new horizons.
