At long last, that dream Moroccan getaway is closer than you thought. Just two hours from Los Angeles, Casbah Cove sees an impressive Moroccan riad placed in Palm Desert’s esteemed Bighorn Golf Club community, home to two prized 18 hole courses, tennis courts, bocce ball courts and more.
Casbah Cove is complete with every amenity you could imagine, located mere seconds away from the luxurious shopping of El Paseo and equipped with a wonderfully relaxing spa on site. At the Casbah you can spend time dining and socializing with family and friends at the golf house, or perhaps step out to the swanky Canyons Steakhouse.
The grounds are stunningly maintained onsite, and the facilities are all state of the art, making your stay as comfortable as possible. The views don’t hurt either, as the property is located on the canyon side of Bighorn, surrounded by snowy mountain top views and enchanting valley lights down below.
Entering the driveway, Moroccan gas lanterns light the path up to the stately motor court adorned with magnificent date palms and large sliding doors. Splendor is abundant on this 16,800 sq ft property, as the decor is effortlessly Moroccan with stones, wood, plaster, and brass constructing the unique space. Beyond the sliding foyer doors rest two warm fireplaces, capped off with star shaped skylights above.
For a refreshing dip, you can step into the 75 ft lap infinity pool, or maybe the 40 ft round swimming pool for a more leisurely splash. The two spas on site offer another tranquil escape, but it’s pretty hard not to be deeply relaxed on this majestic property. A secret garden of white rosebushes makes for quite a treat, as do the vanishing glass walls featured in both the library and master, 3 car 2 golf cart garage, an outdoor shower, and the lush, exotic landscape.
Four bedrooms make up the living space, along with a grand unfinished room big enough for two bedrooms and baths, an indoor theater, gym facilities, and a separate guest suite complete with a private kitchen and entrance. You will also find 8 fireplaces, 3 outdoor dining spaces, 5 full baths, 2 half baths, a Hammam spa with steam room and built ins, and an amazing Hookah room with space for 20. The Hookah room features mountainside views and a 20 foot movie screen tucked into the floor, rising up with just the touch of a button.
A mecca for entertaining, this property also features a second kitchen just for catering, and the cove can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 200 guests at any time. Crowds are sure to be impressed by the solar heated pool, mother of pearl lined elevator, the music control pad, movie theater, 9 built in flat screens, and most importantly the well stocked bar, equipped with a temperature controlled wine cellar, an ice-maker, and refrigerator.
The home is also endowed with a state of the art Creston control system, natural gas heat, and radiant heated floors. Furnishing the space are expensive stone slabs, Moroccan tiles, and Siberian oak floors.
