Moroccan-inspired estate is a sparkling desert gem. See the California home for sale

A home that looks like it was yanked from a fairy tale has landed on the real estate market in the California desert for $18.995 million.

While the price tag may be a bit on the higher end, the beauty of the residence justifies it.

The estate — named Casbah Cove — is a Moroccan-inspired house that sits on the famous Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert and is surrounded by elite nature views and a vast desert sky.

The 12,650-square-foot home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and comes with a stunning array of high-end features per the listing, including:

  • Outdoor theater

  • Interior courtyard

  • Retractable glass ceiling

  • Multiple fireplaces

  • Two swimming pools

  • Champagne chiller in primary suit

“Located behind the gates of the prestigious BIGHORN Golf Club and close proximity to the exclusive Canyon’s Steak within BIGHORN, Casbah Cove offers a unique blend of accessibility to social events and an oasis-like retreat that feels worlds apart,” listing agent Jade Mills said in a news release.

The home is listed by Coldwell Banker Realty agents Mills and Karista Smith.
