Casbah Cove: Desert Oasis On Market For Cool $18 Million

PALM DESERT, CA — Just about two hours from Los Angeles, this California desert retreat transports you to Morocco without having to leave North America. The estate is located in the prestigious Bighorn Golf Club and comes with unparalleled privacy, perched on a hillside.

Previously featured on Bravo's 'Property Envy,' there is more than 16,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor living space — part of which is covered by a $900,000 retractable glass ceiling. There's an elevator (of course) lined with mother of pearl.

"The impressive main entrance boasts enormous sliding doors that articulate the workmanship consistent throughout the home," a website dedicated solely to the home states. "Craftsmen from Morocco spent many months at Casbah Cove estate, carving wood, stone, plaster and brass."
