Las Vegas is home to many luxurious masterplanned communities, ones that offer the highest-quality homes, amenities and spectacular views of the valley and its surroundings. (One thing you quickly learn about buying homes here: Views come at a premium, and are well worth it.)

One of the best examples of these is The Ridges in Summerlin, a guard-gated, masterplanned community in close proximity to Red Rock Conservation Area. And a property has recently become available there, one that offers not only a prime location but a stunning exterior and interior. If impressing company is your goal, well ... mission accomplished.

This magnificent custom home, listed by Ivan Sher of IS LUXURY, features four bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a four-car garage across 8,244 square feet. Its contemporary design by Eric Strain at Assemblage Studio successfully blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. Its structure blends in with the natural landscape in a way you’ve never seen before.

Everything about this home screams attention to detail, from the pristine, symmetrical landscaping that beckons you in, to the open, airy interior’s abundance of natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. Everywhere you look, you’ll find something eye-pleasing, from the beautiful stone floors and grand foyer to the immense chandelier hanging from the high ceilings. The small touches, including marble, granite and natural stone, are used to superb effect here.

Entertaining here is going to be a snap, thanks to a chef’s kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances, custom countertops and island, connected to a great room. The bedrooms here are all practically works of art that carry through the “nature meets modern” concept, from textured stone walls and custom closets to unique, built-in features. The primary bathroom feels like a Zen garden with its replication of an outdoor meditation conservatory.

The backyard is simply sublime. A rooftop sun deck with a fire pit and custom bar looks over an infinity pool, and the scenery from both is spectacular. There are small pockets of courtyards scattered throughout, and the overall effect is one of relaxation and contemplation. Welcome to your own private oasis in the desert.
