ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
The owners envisioned a home that would fully embrace the privacy and security of MacDonald Highlands while offering effortless accessibility for their elderly parents and generous space for visiting children, grandchildren, and guests. Equally important was capturing the homeās elevated hillside setting and sweeping Las Vegas Valley and Strip views.
Before retiring, the owner was the founder and CEO of Construction Management and Development, Inc. (CM&D), one of the nationās premier commercial construction management firms. With that expertise, the project was approached with extraordinary precision: one year of design followed by two and a half years of construction resulted in a truly distinctive contemporary residence centered on energy efficiency, comfort, livability, and luxury entertaining.
Expansive open-concept living areas are framed by 12-foot Low-E windows and doors that showcase unobstructed Strip and valley views without horizontal mullions. Working closely with Grant Design Group, the owners ensured every space was thoughtfully oriented to maximize light, views, and indoor-outdoor living. Every room, including the bedrooms, opens to outdoor experiences and vistas. The home was designed to face north, allowing the south-to-north sloping āflying roofā to shield the front of the home and its decks from direct sun while simultaneously optimizing solar exposure for maximum energy production. The propertyās location also provides rare convenience within MacDonald Highlandsājust a short walk to DragonRidge Country Club, the sports and recreation facilities, and the main entranceāeliminating the long, steep drives common throughout the community. The dramatic flying roof takes full advantage of the southern sun year-round, creating ideal conditions for comfortable outdoor seating overlooking the Strip and valley. The roof pitch accommodates an integrated solar panel system that is ultra-efficient and discreetly hidden from street and property views. Structurally, the home was engineered using poured-in-place concrete walls supported by exposed steel I-beam framing, allowing for massive clear spans of up to 35 feet. East, south, and west-facing walls utilize either structural concrete or steel framing with eight-inch-thick bonded high-density foam insulation, while all floors and ceilings are steel framed with twelve inches of fully integrated high-density foam for superior sound control and thermal efficiency. The main living level is anchored by a striking kitchen with a large center island and an integrated eight-foot dining table designed for both casual dining and entertaining. The dining and living areas are elegantly divided by a custom wine display featuring floating racks and temperature-controlled refrigerated compartments. On the south side of the living room, 10-foot glass doors open to a resort-style outdoor setting with a lap pool, spa, firepits, gazebo, and BBQ area. Powder rooms on both interior levels and by the pool provide convenience for guests without intruding on private bedroom spaces. Throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, and bar, all cabinetry is crafted by DOCA of Spain. These European-made cabinets elevate the home with sleek design, exceptional function, and a refined visual presence that naturally draws people together. The ground level features two extra-deep garages designed to accommodate large vehicles and trucks. The east garage offers two oversized parking spaces with built-in charging capability, while the west garage includes two additional oversized spaces along with two adjoining flex spaces. These versatile areas can be used for additional vehicle display, a gym, office, wine cellar, or even additional bedrooms. The landscaping thoughtfully incorporates large boulders and stone recovered from the original excavation, paired with drought-tolerant plantings and vibrant citrus trees, all maintained by automatic drip irrigation. Every element of this homeāinside and outāwas meticulously orchestrated to create a seamless, striking contemporary estate. It stands as a testament to what is possible when vision, collaboration, perseverance, and the highest-quality materials come together, resulting in a residence that is not only architecturally dramatic, but exceptionally functional, energy-efficient, and timelessly luxurious.
