Reference RR218

This riad is simply stunning.

It is one of the original design classics featured in all the first Marrakech design books.

It is such a unique and special home – situated in the most desirable quarter of the medina – right opposite La Place.

Trust me – locations don’t come better than this.

This ancient 480m2 property is steeped in atmosphere and authenticity.

It once belonged to an aristocratic caid – and housed the many women of his household.

The house is lost in time – with its atmospheric patio garden – with its faded original zellij – its wondrous antique wall fountain – its grand door awnings and its sculpted decorative plasterwork.

This all sets the tone for this wonderful sprawling home – with all its intrigue and mystery.

It is a fascinating property to discover and truly unique – with its windy staircases and passages – and wealth of antique detailing.

There is an intriguing layout – full of surprises – not least with the utterly cool indoor pool.

There are no other houses I know of now for sale of this age in the Marrakech – and this grandeur.

It is indeed an exceptional product to have come up for sale – and would suit someone with an absolute love of Moroccan architecture.

At present the riad boasts on the ground floor an entrance hall, a staff room, a back of house / laundry room, two lavatories, a double kitchen, an ancient salon with several ancient ceilings, a dining room, a rest room, a library, an indoor pool room, a plant room, an ancient hammam, massage room and shower room, and a patio with a salon space and dining – mosaic fountain and a wall fountain with an antique awning. On the first floor is a balcony and an apartment with its own salon, a second apartment with its own salon and two bedrooms and a master apartment with an anteroom – stunning old salon and a master bedroom with a walk in dressing room. Then there are several different terrace areas – including a summer kitchen.

It is worth noting that the property is situated on its own private alleyway.

The price has been massively reduced to 880,000 €
