California, Riverside County, Palm Desert, USA

Casbah Cove is one of the most exceptional residences in the United States -- a Moroccan-inspired architectural masterpiece located behind the exclusive gates of BIGHORN Golf Club in Palm Desert.Handcrafted over six years by artisans flown in from Morocco, the estate showcases centuries-old techniques to deliver a level of authenticity and artistry rarely seen in modern homes. Every element -- from carved doors and woodwork to custom tile, plaster, and lighting -- is entirely bespoke.At its heart is a dramatic central courtyard with a retractable glass ceiling, providing natural light by day and open-sky views by night. The home features four ensuite bedrooms with private outdoor access, a detached guest house, and a flexible bonus room perfect as a fifth bedroom, gym, or theater.Resort-style amenities include a 75-foot lap pool, Moroccan circular pool, and two spas -- one with panoramic city views, the other beside a fireplace and steam shower. The expansive primary suite features a spa bath, steam shower, and champagne chiller. Terraces offer sweeping mountain and desert vistas, while multiple outdoor spaces invite entertaining, relaxation, or wellness experiences.Significant upgrades have been made since acquisition, including new AC systems, pool equipment, and electrical systems. The retractable roof was overhauled, and the estate is fully automated with Crestron technology for lighting, security, climate, and pool control. Additional features include a climate-controlled garage with car lifts, updated AV and speaker systems, resurfaced pools, polished stonework, and low-maintenance landscaping.A full-time maintenance team ensures seamless operation, and an optional house manager offers concierge-level service.Originally listed at $20M, the price has been thoughtfully reduced. To replicate this estate today would exceed $25M, with the land alone conservatively valued at $8M. This legacy estate cannot be duplicated and offers unmatched privacy, refinement, and artistry in one of California's most elite communities.Private tours by appointment.
