La Vie en Rose: Behind the Gates at Marrakesh Country Club! Welcome to Marrakesh Country Club in Palm Desert-where the cocktails are chilled, the conversations sparkle, and the spirit of Old Hollywood lives on beneath the desert sun. Palm Desert's open secret, Marrakesh is a fever dream of Moroccan-modernist grandeur, recently polished to a level of refinement that would make a Palm Springs socialite of yore sigh into her coupe glass at the sheer glamour of it all. Founded in the late 1960s by visionary developer Johnny Dawson, Marrakesh assembled an all-star creative team led by John Elgin Woolf, Hollywood's definitive Regency master and the first post-modern architect on the West Coast. Known for his bold symmetry, neoclassical forms, and playful ornamentation, Woolf transformed mid-century modernism into something at once cinematic and intimate-a look that came to define the era's most glamorous homes. The result is an architectural playground of pink-walled villas, scroll-trimmed porticos, and geometric precision softened by desert light. This beautifully remodeled Expanded A-Plan residence embodies Woolf's timeless vision of grace and proportion. Beyond the signature white double doors, a grand living area with soaring 10-foot ceilings opens to serene greenbelt views and mountain glimpses, offering seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The re-imagined kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a hidden walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator-perfect for effortless entertaining. The spacious primary suite includes a private office nook and a spa-inspired bath finished in travertine marble with a walk-in shower. A powder room, full laundry room, and travertine flooring throughout enhance the home's refined sensibility. The attached Casita, complete with its own private entrance, ensuite bath, and oversized closet, is one of only ten homes in Marrakesh with this rare configuration-ideal for guests, creative work, or a secluded retreat. Outdoor living spaces include a front patio framed by mountain views and a rear terrace overlooking the lush greenbelt-private, peaceful, and safely distanced from golf play. Behind Marrakesh's iconic pink walls lies a desert sanctuary of 364 residences, 14 shimmering pools, and 155 acres of manicured gardens-all centered around an opulent clubhouse, recently reimagined in a $15 million renovation.
