Oasis Villa Hotel 5 bedrooms and Pool For Sale Marrakech

Description

Two towers flank an impressive double steel gate that gives vehicular access to the grounds and ample parking. The towers are not merely decorative – there is accommodation for a guardian on the ground floor and the upper floors contain an ample, 6000 litre water reserve. The gardens have been carefully planted with a selection of specimen trees, cacti and palms, and have a drip irrigation system fed by a deep well. Despite the remote location the property has a mains electricity connection. The gardens – and the further 3 hectares of land available by separate negotiation – are protected by traditional rammed earth walls. There are spectacular views across almost all the property towards the palm oasis. Entrance to the villa itself is via a second set of double steel doors, opening from the entrance hall into a spacious, open plan reception and dining area with high ceilings with a domed central section. The large windows emphasis the wonderful light and beautiful view – but quadruple glazing means the interior stays comfortable even on hot days. For cooler winter nights there’s a fireplace, and sliding doors give access to the terrace; a narrow water conduit divides the terrace and feeds the swimming pool. For a real taste of the dolce vita there’s a steel fire pit and local stone boulders giving surprisingly comfortable seating to admire the night sky or one of Marrakech’s famous sunsets; the lights of the city are visible on the horizon at night. A well designed and fitted kitchen opens onto a walled courtyard with a screened area for bins and gas bottles; there’s staff accommodation off this courtyard which has separate access from the exterior. A corridor running the length of the building gives access to 4 large bedrooms, each with an en suite bath or shower room, all tastefully finished in natural tadelekt. The master suite has a bathroom that opens out onto the terrace too. A minimalist staircase leads to an upper floor, where a suite has been cleverly designed to encompass a number of different uses; this space could be a studio flat, 2 separate bedrooms or a large and spacious suite with the best views in the building. Sliding doors give access onto the roof terrace, and it’s worth noting that the construction of further rooms on the upper floor was provisioned for during the design process. The current building has 450 square metres of habitable space – this could rise to around 700 square metres if the upper floor was extended. It is difficult to obtain the necessary permissions to construct in such a remote and beautiful area, so this represents a very unusual opportunity. Despite the peace and tranquility, Marrakech is just twenty minutes away by car. The property clearly has potential to generate a healthy income and would be ideal for those seeking a complete change of life. A further 3 hectares of building land are available by separate negotiation.
