A sprawling California estate once owned by television legend Merv Griffin has reappeared on the market with a reduced asking price of $23.9 million. Located in La Quinta, the approximately 40-acre property served as Griffin's winter residence. He developed the Moroccan-inspired estate in the mid-1980s.
The 5,409-square-foot main residence, completed in 1986, features intricate Moroccan design elements. The expansive grounds include seven residential structures with 13 bedrooms in total, plus four circular guesthouses. The estate also boasts an infinity-edge swimming pool, a private lake, and dedicated equestrian facilities.
These equestrian amenities include a thoroughbred racing track, paddocks, and a 16-stall barn, reflecting Griffin's passion for horses. After Griffin's death in 2007, the property was sold in June 2013 and has since been utilized as a luxury rental and event venue.
The estate's listing price has seen several adjustments. It was previously listed for $36 million in April 2024 and then for $29.95 million in February 2025. The current listing price reflects a significant reduction, presenting a new opportunity for prospective buyers.
