Travel to exotic and exciting places may be on hold for another year, but don’t worry, I have the answer. You can take advantage of the fact this Moroccan masterpiece in Plano is available for lease!

Here’s a wake-up call. You can rent this gorgeous uber-luxury estate at 2917 Mountain Laurel Lane in Plano for an entire year, and it will cost a third of an equivalent luxury villa in Marrakesh. I did a quick search on the Marrakesh Villas and Vacations Rentals site. The most economical home listed with the same number of bedrooms and a pool, Villa Yama, is $939 per night.

Let’s do the math. That’s $342,735 for one year as opposed to $117,000 to lease this Moroccan masterpiece for a full year. And, the actual Morocco villa had maybe a quarter of the drama of this estate. Add on four first-class airfares, and you see what I mean.

Mike Marsolek of Classical Custom Homes built this Moroccan masterpiece on a smidge over half an acre in the Creeks of Willow Bend neighborhood in affluent West Plano.

A carved double door entrance leads to a spectacular spiral staircase underneath and an exquisite domed ceiling. The public rooms are nothing less than spectacular with a double-sided fireplace between the formal living and dining rooms with intricate moldings and dramatic arched doorways. This home basically cries out for entertaining on a large scale. Quite frankly, you can do that in this magnificent Moroccan masterpiece, while easily keeping your social distance!

We all want homes that serve us well. This Moroccan masterpiece offers up so much more than you expect. For instance, there is a first-floor guest suite, a gym with a terrace to cool off after your workout, the essential home office, a home theatre, and a game room. I think you are beginning to see this is the ultimate vacation home, perhaps for life!

Much like Morocco, Texas homes must have outdoor space. This Moroccan masterpiece offers open-air balconies, private verandas, and covered patios. The entire property is enclosed by mature trees that embrace an outdoor oasis.

A pool and spa with a dramatic water feature anchor the back of the estate. This is a superbly family-friendly home that features a separate children’s pool and an outdoor shower.

“This estate is like a magnificent hotel in Marrakesh,” Keller-Williams-Plano listing agent Sharon Ketko said. “It’s the most unique property! You can just imagine tents in the backyard and the amazing parties!”

Ketko has 2917 Mountain Laurel Lane in Plano, listed to rent for $9,750.00 per month, or for purchase at $2.5 million. For 8,315-square-feet on over half an acre with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, just remember this is less than a third of what you’d pay for a vacation in Morocco!
