This 1998 home in Mount Desert, ME is modeled after an old world Moroccan castle and it's magical. 4bds, 3ba, 2,773 sq ft, $985k.

As you enter the entrance hall, you can see by the intricately carved wood panels that it's Moroccan style.

Then, enter the living room and find the painted vaulted ceiling and pillars. Plus, there's a rustic stone fireplace.

Isn't this different? And, look at the wallpaper, plus built-in shelving.

The kitchen and bedrooms branch off a hall.

The kitchen is cute, but I wish they would've shown the rest of it. The cabinetry looks original and the appliances have been updated. Nice slate look counters.

And, then there's the formal dining room. Isn't it pretty? Love the chandelier and gate.

The more you look, the more details you see. Large room with unusual wallpaper.

The primary bedroom has a sitting room, stone-covered columns, fabulous ceiling and doors to a terrace.

This secondary bedroom is smaller, but still a decent size.

Pretty vintage-looking bath. This is so cute.

The house has a huge deck on the back. Paths thru the gardens in the yard look like a fairy tale.

Isn't this a beautiful view? The water is Somes Sound. There're 1.27 acres of land.

The 2 car garage is gorgeous.

And, look at this sweet little guest cottage. It even has a screened-in porch.

It has a bedroom with a fireplace.

Plus a kitchenette and a bath.

And, lastly, it has a gorgeous gazebo.

Isn't this wonderful?

Why Are Moroccan Tiles And Architecture So Popular Even Now

Moroccan architecture isn’t just visually striking—it’s a historical document written in stone, tile, and wood. At the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, Morocco’s built environment tells the story of civilizations meeting, clashing, and ultimately creating something entirely new.
