One of the world’s most spectacular properties, a perfect replica of Spain’s famed Alhambra palace built on 11 acres in Marrakech, has been listed for sale via an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate for about $75M. Comprising nearly 60,000-square-feet with a total of eight bedrooms and baths, the Moroccan estate is straight out of a fairytale.

The owners discovered an old book about the Alhambra in a London antique shop, spurning them to learn all about the 9th century fortress and palace inhabited by several kings that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The book even came complete with blueprints. They acquired an 11-acre palm grove in Marrakech and set out to recreate the royal residence.
