When it comes to Las Vegas real estate, there are breathtaking views, and then there’s … Ascaya, a masterplanned community in the McCullough Mountain Range that rises hundreds of feet above the city, overlooking the Las Vegas Valley, Strip and other mountain ranges. It’s also one of the valley’s most exclusive communities, and living there is now a reality, thanks to one of its homes hitting the market.

This two-story, 8,723-square-foot estate, listed by Evangelina Duke-Petroni of IX LUXURY, features four bedrooms, six bathrooms and a four-car garage. It’s a custom-designed masterpiece, and its highlights are too numerous to mention here, but you’ll stop and look at nearly every detail, from rounded edges, geometric angles, realism vs. illusion (you’ll get it when you see it!) and light vs. seclusion.

You’ll make your way here via a private entryway with curved walls (talk about a first impression) and walk through a large pivot door. Natural stone and organic elements are the first thing you’ll notice, the second likely being the floor-to-ceiling windows. Neutral tones are dominant throughout, and the natural light flooding this house is almost a selling point in and of itself!

Touches throughout include elegant light features, a sophisticated, double-sided fireplace, multiple upstairs balconies, built-in wine room and large and inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. And no matter how many stairways you’ve seen, you’ve never seen one like this, showcasing the theme of light, transparency and illusion (the stairway and accompanying upstairs catwalk are framed in glass and give the appearance of floating).

The rooms are all spacious and separate enough to give each occupant a feeling of maximum privacy. It all combines as the perfect spot for entertaining, and we haven’t even gotten to the backyard yet! It’s an entertainer’s paradise, with built-in outdoor kitchen, fire pit and custom infinity pool with Jacuzzi. And because of its placement (privately tucked into a canyon over looking the city), the views are nothing short of spectacular.

As a resident of Ascaya, you’ll also have access to its 23,000-square-foot clubhouse, featuring a fitness center, 50-meter swimming pool, tennis and pickleball pavilion, half-court basketball and chef’s catering kitchen.
