Reference RR138

This entirely new 143m2 riad is situated in arguably the most exotic medina location that I know.

It is in a prime spot in marrakech in an area known as Bab Ahmar – flanked on one side by the sumptuous old palaces of Hassan II, and on another side by the unending olive groves of the Agdal gardens that beguilingly run off to the snow capped Atlas Mountains.

As can be seen from the photographs, the views from the roof terrace are quite simply breathtaking.

I cannot think of ever seeing any other medina property that can match this roof top panorama.

Interestingly, too – is the fact that the area is a super practical quarter – with brilliant parking and car access – so the house is in a really functional spot unlike many homes here that are buried inside an impractical maze of alleyways.

The charming owners have built numerous homes in the medina and this property is really well thought, functional and beautifully designed with wonderfully wide and generous rooms.

It also has a lovely, light and sympathetic feel.

It is a proper five bedroom family home – centred upon a super cool open plan design with the principal ground floor living space flowing off from the leafy patio.

At present the riad boasts on the ground floor a generous entrance hall, a patio with planters and dining space, a double open salon, an open TV room, an American kitchen, a communal lavatory and a sizeable bedroom with an en-suite. On the first floor is the principle suite with a private lounge, an office space, a walk in dressing room and an en-suite bathroom – a communal bathroom and two further bedrooms. Then up on the roof terrace is a fifth bedroom with an en-suite, a solarium, a bhou, a BBQ, a laundry room and covered dining.

The house is being sold furnished.

The price is 2.9m dhs.
