Real estate on the Route d'Amizmiz and the dam road, Marrakech

The neighbourhood

The Route d'Amizmiz — known locally as the road to the dam — runs south-west of Marrakech towards Lake Lalla Takerkoust and the High Atlas. The axis starts at the edge of the city and ends at the town of Amizmiz: land in D2 and D3 villa zoning, country villas, farms and houses. Fifteen minutes from the centre over the first kilometres, an hour to the town — the price per square metre follows the distance.

Key points

• —Route d'Amizmiz, also called the dam road — one axis, two names
• —From Lake Lalla Takerkoust to the foot of the High Atlas
• —D2 and D3 villa zoning, country villas, farms and houses
• —From 15 minutes to an hour from the centre, depending on the kilometre

This is Marrakech's nature axis: olive groves as soon as you leave the city, then open countryside, Lake Lalla Takerkoust for weekends — swimming, jet-skiing, waterside restaurants — and finally Amizmiz, its weekly souk and the trailheads into the Atlas. People come for the space, the mountain views and budgets that still breathe.

Frequently asked questions

Are the dam road and the Route d'Amizmiz the same road?

Yes, it is one and the same axis: the road running south-west from Marrakech to Amizmiz passes the dam and Lake Lalla Takerkoust at around kilometre 35. Sellers and locals usually say "the dam road", while listings write "Route d'Amizmiz" — a property advertised under either name is on the same road.

How far from Marrakech are properties on this axis?

It depends entirely on the kilometre. The first properties are six or seven kilometres from the centre — a fifteen-minute drive, workable as a main home. Lake Lalla Takerkoust is thirty-five kilometres out, more of a weekend house. The town of Amizmiz is an hour away. Tell us how you will use it and we target the right stretch of road.

What do D2 and D3 villa zonings mean on this axis?

These are low-density designations, designed for large landscaped plots: the minimum lot size and the buildable footprint change between D2 and D3. That is what explains the one-to-several-hectare parcels along the road. Before any offer we check the land against the applicable planning documents and verify the title — the decisive point of a land purchase.

How much does a property cost in Amizmiz?

In Amizmiz, the median price of our properties for sale is around 4 950 MAD/m². The final price depends on the type of property, its condition and its exact location.
