Let’s face it: Big-city life can become a bit stressful at times. It’s not unusual to see enormous crowds flock to outdoor must-visit spots like Valley of Fire, Red Rock Conservation Area or Mount Charleston to get away from it all. And admit it: You love the outdoors so much, you wish you lived closer, right? Well, your wish has been granted. There’s an amazing home for sale in the small town of Blue Diamond, less than an hour’s drive from the heart of Vegas. To call this a stunner is a considerable understatement; not only is it environmentally friendly, it’s compromised nothing in the way of luxury or comfort.
This 4,500-square-foot showcase, listed by Anthony Spiegel, sits nestled right up to a huge mountain bike trail system that loops in and out of Blue Diamond. Its floor-to-ceiling windows offer ample views of Red Rock Canyon, an area of endless enjoyment for millions of tourists and locals alike. It was designed by PUNCH Architecture and built by Bugbee Custom Homes, and it’s truly a one-of-a-kind residence, perfect for families who both want to spend plenty of time outdoors and indoors.
The three bedrooms and four bathrooms offer ample space for the whole crew, while the 20,473-square-foot backyard (completely private) will have everyone dreaming about the possibilities. If you’re planning on plenty of outdoor parties, great news: There’s not one, but two remote-controlled fire pits that practically demand you come outside during the colder months. And on those occasions when you just want to be by yourself, this home is the ideal space to just sit back and reflect. You may never want to go back inside!
The home’s construction quality is apparent in every nook and cranny, from the solid white oak flooring to the sandstone, which was sourced from a private local quarry. The exterior Corten steel is distinctive, and promises to get even more so over the years as its patina continues to evolve.
Exciting amenities here include a solar system (making this home nearly off the grid in more ways than one), a 1,200-square-foot garage with a green roof (desert vegetation, of course!), a Creston system that manages cooling, heating, lighting, security and blinds, an air conditioning system that includes linear diffusers, and radiant heat in both the master suite and bathroom.
