This traditional house is situated in the heart of the medina of Essaouira, within walking distance of all the attractions for which it is renowned. Just 2-3 hours from the airports of Marrakesh or Agadir, this attractive coastal town is becoming popular with foreign buyers, who can combine a love of Moroccan culture with beach and leisure pursuits. As in Marrakesh, property within the ramparts is highly sought after, and prices are rising. This riad style house has been sympathetically renovated, retaining mosaic tiled floors, beautiful stained glass and carved wooden doors. The spacious 120m of living space includes an open entrance area which leads into a ground floor bedroom and shower room. There are two reception rooms and a kitchen on the floor above. Two more bedrooms and a shower room are located on the second floor, and there is the possibility of creating a further bedroom on the roof terrace. We understand that the present rather small airport at Essaouira is being enlarged so that it will be able to accept international carriers. This will have a significant impact on property values.

This property offers 2 for 1 value, with separate entrances to ground and first floor apartments, with sea and mountain views. It is situated in Tamghart, a village close to Taghazoute, with stunning surfing beaches, a few kilometres from Agadir. Since some of the best surfing is in the winter, the apartments would be suitable for year-round letting and holidays. Flights to Agadir are already more frequent and less expensive than a few years ago, in line with Moroccos policy to attract greater numbers of tourists, and the area is becoming more popular with overseas buyers. The ground floor apartment has 2 bedrooms, a salon, kitchen and shower room. The first floor accommodation comprises a large dual aspect salon, one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. A large roof terrace has views over the village to the sea and mountains. Finding a property so conveniently close to the airport and city, yet idyllically situated in an authentic Moroccan village is the solution for a perfect holiday home the search ends here!

This is a traditional Moroccan house, sometimes called a darand a little different from a riad. A riad is distinguished by its garden and fountain, and most commonly these days by its larger size. Whether it be dar or riad, houses in the medina are still very sought-after as investments. A visit to Marrakesh will reveal that there is a great deal of new building outside the old city walls, but of course the medina is confined. Given that this is the heart of Marrakesh and the main reason for its tourist appeal, prices here can only rise as visitors search for that authentic atmosphere. This house needs renovation, a project that should not be undertaken lightly. You will need the help of a good architect, a healthy budget (at least as much again as the purchase price), some reliable artisans and lots of respect and understanding of local working practices. However, if you have the right attitude, the personal and financial rewards are great. Access to a medina property is very important. Many of the narrow streets are only accessible by pedestrians or a donkey and cart. This is fine for a few weeks but it can become tedious when the weather is hot and there is a lot of shopping to bring home. This dar is situated to the south of the medina, in the Kasbah quarter and is fortunate enough to have not only vehicular access but room for private on-site parking. We have described this property as needing renovation, which is quite true, but it is often the advice of our architects that it is more sensible to pull much of the inside apart and start again. There is no point in putting a coat of gloss on crumbling walls. The property can then be restored using traditional methods and dcor. The Kasbah quarter houses the Royal Palace and Saadian tombs and is also on the right side of town for the airport, with good views of the Atlas Mountains and the grounds of the palace. Space in this property is not an issue, with a patio (see picture), 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, salon, bathroom and WC on the ground floor, and a further 2 bedrooms and roof terrace above.

The upper rooms of this spacious house require some finishing work hence the attractive price tag. The full restoration can be achieved at minimal cost, with a resulting 5-bedroom, 180m home, situated in Aourir, next to some of Moroccos best surfing beaches. The property would be ideal for holiday use or letting, close to an area which is receiving a huge injection of government funds to promote tourism. Aourir retains its Moroccan identity, but is just a few kilometres from neighbouring Taghazoute, where new hotels, apartments, tourist facilities and a marina are due for completion by 2010. As a result, property along the surrounding coast is attracting foreign investment, and prices are beginning to rise. The accommodation includes a salon, kitchen, two small bedrooms and a shower room and WC on the ground floor, surrounding a pretty interior courtyard. On the first floor are three further bedrooms and a second salon, which have been tiled and plastered, but require redecoration. There is also a shower room on this level. Aourir is situated on the south Atlantic coast of Morocco, just a few kilometres north of Agadir. There are regular direct flights to Agadir from the UK, operated by budget airlines, all part of the open-skies policy promoted by the young Moroccan king.

This typical Moroccan house, with both mountain and sea views, has two separate entrances to the ground and first floors, making it an ideal buy for those seeking a letting property close to the Atlantic surfing beaches. Situated in the thriving town of Aourir, best known for its surfing and its bananas, it is just 7 kilometres north of Agadir, and therefore still within easy reach of the airport and the more sophisticated facilities of the city. The layout of rooms is identical on each floor, and comprises an entrance hall, small salon, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, shower room and WC. The house appears to be in reasonable condition, with traditional tiling, and clean, white kitchen facilities. It would benefit from further improvement to realise its maximum potential as a six bedroom letting property. The large roof terrace has panoramic views of the mountains and the coast. Aourir, already popular with German and Italian buyers, is becoming more established with French and UK purchasers, as the coast north of Agadir receives more attention as a tourist venue. A little further along the coast, Taghazoute is being developed as part of the governments ambitious plans to increase visitor numbers, and the unspoilt town of Aourir will benefit from improvements to the infrastructure of the region. Property prices such as this will soon be a thing of the past! For Sale 6 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties

This delightful whitewashed house has been renovated up to the level of the roof terrace, which could be completed at minimal cost to provide another storey, or an enclosed suntrap. It is situated about 15 kilometres north of Agadir, in the lovely town of Aourir, famed for its banana groves and surfing beach. The house is not overlooked, and has a private garden with its own well and a garage. The accommodation, on two levels, comprises large rooms with high ceilings and habitable space of 180m. There is a salon, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. The floors are tiled, and the walls have been painted in neutral colours to create a bright and fresh interior. Houses in this area are still surprisingly affordable, yet with all facilities and an unspoilt beach close at hand. Aourir is also known for its good restaurants, and thriving handcrafts trade. It is already popular with European buyers, especially the French, who have recognised its advantages and value for money.

A rare opportunity to acquire a property with views over the entire bay and town of Aourir. The house is situated on the hillside of Tamaouanza, a spot that is particularly favoured by the French and extremely sought-after. Aourir is about 7 kms north of Agadir. Until very recently it is only the resort of Agadir that has created much interest along this part of the Atlantic coast, but there are some delightful coves and long beaches just to the north and south. These are very much in the infancy of development, but the roads are already being improved and smart investors are seeing the low prices and growth potential. On the ground floor is a reception room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and WC. Upstairs there are 2 further reception rooms, one with superb balcony views, 2 further bedrooms and a WC. On the roof terrace there are another couple of rooms. The property would benefit from minor interior renovation. Some of the partition walls would be better removed to allow more light inside, as the windows are quite small. If one spent a maximum of 10,000 Euros on the property one would achieve something very special. For Sale 4 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties

It is unusual to find a house in Aourir with a garden, but this one also boasts an outbuilding and an olive tree! Located in this popular Moroccan town, close to legendary surfing beaches, it has superb mountain views and great potential as a holiday or retirement home, with a spacious 180m of living space, just 10 kilometres from Agadir. The ground floor includes a kitchen which opens on to the garden, a large salon, dining room and three bedrooms. There is also a shower room and WC. The upper rooms, which require further work, comprise three more bedrooms and a large salon, which could be opened up on to a terrace overlooking the garden. Above is a roof terrace with mountain views. The labour required to complete the renovation of this property could be arranged at very modest cost. Our local colleagues have access to reliable architects, builders and artisans, and are willing to supervise such work. Many foreign buyers have taken advantage of the low prices in this up-and-coming town, which is beginning to benefit from the massive investment in nearby coastal resorts such as Taghazoute, and the continuing regeneration of Agadir. Aourir and neighbouring Tamraght are known jointly as Banana Village, and share a beach of the same name, after the thriving banana plantations which divide them. This is also the place where the residents of Agadir go in search of the perfect tagine, surely a recipe for success for would-be property owners!

This spacious house offers 260m of living space on three floors, and has a large roof terrace.

A small traditional house, situated in a quiet part of the northern medina, and with good access to the French quarter outside the old city walls. This part of the city was the spiritual and intellectual centre and still thrives through its mosques and medersa (Koranic school). This is a colourful district of the city, without many recognised tourist routes. You will find hidden fountains, the most famous of which is the Chrob ou Chouf Drink and Admire, fondouks (old stabling and storage rooms, often converted into workshops), stall-lined streets and winding lanes which beguile the eye wherever you look. The property has three ground floor rooms, kitchen and WC. There is a roof terrace. The new owner should anticipate a decent amount of work to bring the property up to modern standards. It urgently needs a bathroom unless you plan to use the public hammams! Since the property is quite small, the project should not be overwhelming in terms of scale or finance. All thats needed is a slight pioneering spirit. For Sale 3 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties

Difficult to believe that this very impressive house is for sale at such a reasonable price. Aourir is a Berber town 10kms north of Agadir and 2kms south of Taghazoute, the surfing centre of Morocco. The beaches here are sandy with lots of good surf breaks, at their best between October and March.

On the ground floor is a garage and a suite of 4 rooms all of which need modernisation A staircase leads to the first floor where there is a sitting room, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, shower room and WC.

There is over 150m of habitable space. A real bargain with lots of potential. For Sale 2 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties

Aourir is a bustling Moroccan town, particularly popular with the French. The French are major European investors in Morocco since it was a French Protectorate early in the 20th century. They have no language problems (French is the second language after Arabic) and the legal system, food and traditions are still influenced by this period. Aourir is just to the north of Agadir, a coastal town, well known for its banana production. Bananas are in evidence everywhere! The prices here are much more affordable that downtown Agadir but with the predicted expansion of tourism, this is an area likely to rise in value. This 3-storey house has a particularly fine view of the sea to the west, as well as the mountains behind. It has been built to a good standard and has some very attractive plasterwork on the ceilings. On the ground floor there is a reception room, 2 bedrooms, kitchen and WC. It is not unusual for a house to have a ground floor as well as an upstairs reception room. This allows non-family members to be entertained downstairs, preserving the privacy of the family in another part of the house. Upstairs there is a larger reception room, 3 bedrooms, a further kitchen and bathroom. The terrace is a feature of the house, built on two levels, the lower level offering a little more shade than the roof top. At the lower terrace level there is another bedroom, shower room and kitchenette. For Sale 6 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties

Situated at the seaside in Aourir, just a few miles from Agadir, this 4-bedroom house has 160m of living space, a garage and a roof terrace. It is located close to all facilities, and is typical of the modestly priced properties that are available in this thriving Moroccan town. Aourir is becoming a popular alternative to neighbouring Agadir for those who prefer a quieter setting and a less European atmosphere. With its excellent surfing beaches and thriving commerce, and within easy reach of the international airport at Agadir, the town has already attracted many buyers from Italy, France and Germany. This house offers spacious accommodation, built in traditional style with tiled floors and half-tiled walls, and topped by a large roof terrace. There are three salons, a fitted kitchen, 4 bedrooms and a bathroom. This style appeals to European taste as it offers much larger rooms than the typical riad, where darker, narrow rooms are built around a central courtyard. The coastline north of Agadir is undergoing a transformation, with resorts such as Taghazoute receiving massive investment for the development of hotels, villas, a marina and golf course. This will have an impact on property prices in towns such as Aourir, which will benefit from the improvements and increased tourism. A house such as this should therefore prove a sound investment, both for letting and capital growth. For Sale 4 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties

The first floor reception room is beautifully tiled and illuminated by a central light well. On this floor are two further bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, study, shower room and WC. Moroccan houses are never short of washing facilities, and a laundry room and third WC are to be found on the same level as the large roof terrace.

This could be the perfect time to take advantage of a rising market. For Sale 4 bed in Atlantic Coastal Plain Morocco find Atlantic Coastal Plain properties
