Life Swap: What If You Left New York?

Life is certainly luxurious in a big, sunny loft in Tribeca. But exotic, it isn’t. (Even with a bunch of movie-star neighbors and their little neighborhood film festival.) Those craving cushiness with a gloss of glamour might want to decamp to Dar Tayda, a Moroccan mansion with spectacular views of the Atlas Mountains, its own tennis court, two swimming pools, and a fourteen-seat cinema (so you can host your own film festival). The bedrooms are decorated with a geographical theme (Asia, prewar Europe, old Afghanistan). Its previous incarnation: a plush rental for adventure seekers able to afford half a million euros per year. So buying’s a bargain, right?
