Extravagant residences and family compounds are often located in areas like rural Saar and its surrounding areas.
However, now home hunters can find the perfect property a little closer to town.
Twenty-two brand new townhouses will soon be available for rent in downtown Salmaniya. The homes are currently in the final finishing stages and these charming double storey properties are an attractive alternative to 'country' living.
They feature spacious rooms, semi-open-plan kitchens, modern bathrooms, porcelain or marble tile flooring, an elegant wrought iron staircase and lots of useful nooks and crannies.
Each house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms with walk-in showers. The master bathroom is, of course, en suite with a fabulous Jacuzzi bath. There is also a guest cloakroom downstairs.
The kitchen comes complete with cherry coloured units and granite worktops and will be fitted with cooker, fridge and washing machine.
The properties also benefit from some landscaped features in the front garden area, upper terraced balconies and a closed garage.
On hot days, residents can splash around in the communal swimming pool and for the keep-fit brigade, a gymnasium is also available.
