The properties that make those in The Night Manager look distinctly average

While the masses stand divided on whether The Night Manager was the best or worst series to grace our screens, there’s no denying that Jonathan Pine and co. made their way around a vast number of insane properties, from Roper’s Mallorca mansion to Pine’s Devonshire dugout. But feast your eyes, gentlemen, because these properties blow everything in the series out of the water:

The Night Manager: Fortaleza Estate, Mallorca

On the market: Port Alcudia, Mallorca

There’s no doubting that the Fortaleza Estate is pretty damn hard to beat. A home of this scale, with as many assets and such an insane view, is hard to come by, but this magnificent home in Port Alcudia comes pretty close.

The details: Situated on a 14,000sqm plot of land on top of a hill, complete with the main house, guest house, tennis court, helipad, heated indoor and outdoor pool, spa and some incredible gardens and terraces.

Price: A cool £40,000,000 ($55,800,000).

The Night Manager: Blackpool Mill Cottage, Devon

On the market: Milltown Park Estate, Ireland

170-520151222062423189-383

Most gentlemen have a secret desire to escape the rat race, leave the city and get out into the most remote parts of the country. For Jonathan Pine, it was Devon. For us, it’s Ireland. This historic early Georgian mansion is situated in a walled estate of roughly 285 acres and sits far away from anyone or anything.

The details: As well as all of the land that comes with the home, the lucky owner will have access to the main house, the gardens, the greenhouses and more. The home itself features 8 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an entire basement kitchen and is everything that a traditional country home should be.

Price: £2,500,000 ($3,600,000)

The Night Manager: Es Saadi Hotel, Marrakech

The Cairo hotel wasn’t actually in Cairo, it was the Es Saadi Hotel in Marrakech. This beautiful hotel is very hard to beat, and is anything but distinctly average, but David Bowie’s Mustique villa comes pretty close to rivalling it. This $20 million beauty just came on the market for rent and could be yours this summer.

The details: This 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, Indonesian-inspired home is built on a pond and overlooks the stunning Caribbean – who wouldn’t want to summer here?
