Jebel Sifah - Olive Farms

Olive Farms is a low-density residential cluster within the Jebel Sifah coastal destination, developed by Muriya and positioned along the northern Omani coastline in Muscat Governorate. The project comprises 16 villas across a single building cluster, currently under construction and available for sale, with unit prices ranging from AED 774,624 to AED 1,239,399.

# The community and its position within Jebel Sifah

Jebel Sifah sits roughly 45 minutes' drive from central Muscat, set between the Al Hajar Mountains and the Arabian Sea. It is an established destination rather than a speculative land play: the broader masterplan already incorporates a marina, a golf course, and beach facilities. Olive Farms occupies a quieter, more residential corner of that destination.

The scale is deliberately restrained. Sixteen units across a single cluster is a small count by any regional standard, which keeps densities low and shared spaces genuinely usable. Architecture reads as grounded and sun-oriented, with layouts planned to draw in natural light and prioritise the relationship between interior rooms and private outdoor ground.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The three configurations on offer span one, two, and three bedrooms. The one-bedroom villas measure approximately 807 sq ft and are priced from AED 774,624. Two-bedroom units come in at around 1,055 sq ft from AED 1,002,649. The three-bedroom option reaches approximately 1,292 sq ft at AED 1,239,399.

Each residence comes with kitchen fit-out included. Other interiors are delivered unfurnished, giving buyers latitude over specification and fit-out budget.

The floor plates are wide rather than tall, supporting the indoor-outdoor arrangement the design intends. Private garden space is allocated to each unit, which is the operative amenity in a landscape-led community of this type.

# Amenities and shared outdoor space

The communal offer is modest in number but well-matched to the project's character. A swimming pool anchors the shared zone. A BBQ area and landscaped walking paths extend the outdoor living logic from private gardens into the broader site. Custom landscaping ties the planted areas together.

For families with younger children, a shaded nature playground and a dedicated splash and water play zone are provided. These are purpose-built rather than incidental additions, which reflects the multigenerational household the project appears designed around.

# Access to the wider Jebel Sifah destination

Residents at Olive Farms sit within reach of the marina, golf course, and beach clubs that define Jebel Sifah as a leisure destination. Those amenities are part of the surrounding masterplan rather than Olive Farms itself, but proximity is genuine given the tight geography of the site.

# Getting to Muscat and beyond

The 45-minute road connection to Muscat means Olive Farms functions plausibly as a primary residence rather than purely a holiday asset. Muscat International Airport extends the property's reach to the Gulf, the Indian subcontinent, and European hub cities, most within a four-to-six-hour flight.

The coastal and mountain setting also positions the area for hiking, watersports, and year-round outdoor use. Oman's climate, milder than the UAE in summer months, is a practical consideration for buyers weighing long-term habitability.

# Who this project is built for

At an entry price below AED 800,000 for a one-bedroom villa with a private garden, Olive Farms sits in a category that is difficult to replicate inside the UAE at equivalent specification. For a GCC-based buyer seeking a secondary residence with access to nature, or a European buyer drawn to Oman's residency-by-property-ownership pathway, the numbers are proportionate to the offer.

The limited unit count of 16 also appeals to buyers who have grown cautious about large-scale developments where shared amenities become strained over time. Muriya's track record at Jebel Sifah provides a more legible reference point than an off-plan brand entering the market cold. The project is not positioned as a short-term yield play. It is built around the logic of slower living, longer ownership, and a landscape that holds its appeal without requiring constant reinvention.
