MacDonald Highlands

MacDonald Highlands is known for its sweeping mountainside views of Las Vegas and Henderson, but few homes in the guard-gated community take advantage of the elevated topography quite like the residence of Mike and Linda Huhn on Dragon Ridge Drive. Designed and built by Blue Heron, the estate welcomes guests with a twisting driveway that passes between three separate structures that together form a bold and striking desert compound, mixing all the elements desired for a luxury lifestyle. “You can look up to the hills and see this home, so we wanted something that appeared iconic, and strong from a distance,” says Blue Heron founder Tyler Jones. “We could’ve combined all the spaces into one big structure, but by breaking into three components, you’re surrounded by interesting forms and shapes.”

the words PLAY, EAT, SLEEP and VIEW in place of numerals on the buttons. yet the home carries subtle complexities beneath its sleek ultra-modern design. “There are steel louvers that are unique to this project,” says Jones. “The interesting steel mesh. There are a lot of wood tones and organic materials.” No matter where you are, natural light is everywhere, even in the downstairs “basement” where a two-lane bowling alley, wine closet and full bar sit near a projection theater room. Just like in other parts of the home, large pocket doors disappear into the walls, revealing dramatic views of the Strip, mountains and DragonRidge Country Club golf course. Outdoor

LUXURY ESTATES INTERNATIONAL

LUXURY ESTATES INTERNATIONAL Kamran Zand, Broker/Founder License # B.1001321.LLC Kamran@LuxuryEstates.com LuxuryHomesLasVegas.com Kamran Zand is recognized as the premier choice in Las Vegas luxury real estate for one simple reason. He delivers results. The founder and broker of Luxury Estates International has mastered a new approach, disregarding traditional methods in favor of bold strategies based on style, global reach, interactive technology and carefully crafted marketing plans. From lavish estates to high-rise condos, Kamran understands how to sell luxury properties for top dollar in less time.

Success didn’t come easy. Upon earning his real estate license in 2006, Kamran’s home faced foreclosure and he was eating ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Through hard work, determination and an appetite to succeed, Kamran broke through the boundaries of the luxury real estate establishment and shattered records on his own terms — selling homes his competitors couldn’t, including the most expensive high rise condo in Nevada history in 2016, the most expensive residential home sale of 2017 and the second most expensive residential home sale of 2018.
