Las Vegas is home to many luxurious master-planned 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.)

One of the best examples of these is The Ridges in Summerlin, a guard-gated, master-planned community close to Red Rock Conservation Area. A property has recently become available in Redhawk, an exclusive enclave with more than 80 luxury homes ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet. It’s surrounded by Bear’s Best Las Vegas golf course, so amazing views are par for the course (sorry, couldn’t resist).

This estate offers not only a prime location but a stunning exterior and interior. If impressing company is your goal, well ... mission accomplished. Featuring five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a four-car garage, this 9,429-square-foot home, listed by Kamran Zand of Luxury Estates International, is the perfect home for desert living. Its two stories are accessible by two staircases and an elevator.

With pocket doors that disappear into walls, this home blends indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly, offering views of the mountains and Strip. All rooms have access to patios or balconies, and there are so many architectural touches to catch your eye, from the towering foyer and dining room to granite counters, marble floors and fireplaces, as well as stacked-stone exterior.

There’s so much entertaining space—the chef’s kitchen contains Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances, wet bar, wine storage and butler’s pantry, while an upstairs lounge has a bar and wraparound terrace.

All bedrooms here are their own private paradises, and the primary bedrooms are on separate floors, featuring all the amenities you could need, including walk-in closets and spa-like bathrooms. There’s also an upstairs yoga studio, and the home’s office opens wide to a courtyard.

The backyard is stunning, thanks to its infinity-edge pool, spa, wet deck and fire features, as well as an outdoor grill with automated louvers.
