Spacious Beauty Ridges home in Summerlin has everything you could want

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.)

One of the best examples of these is The Ridges in Summerlin, a guard-gated, master-planned 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 9,873-square-foot, two story home, listed by Ivan Sher of Berkshire-Hathaway HomeServices, stresses outdoor living. During the valley’s more pleasant months, expect to spend plenty of time enjoying the outdoor amenities spread all over this sprawling estate, built on two-thirds of an acre.

The first thing you’re bound to notice in touring this home is the view—the home fronts Bear’s Best Golf Course, a true work of art courtesy of Jack Nicklaus (it replicates his favorite 18 holes throughout North America), but you’ll also get majestic views of the mountains

and surrounding desert. Explore the grounds further and you’ll find a large, private rear yard containing a heated infinity pool, not to mention a fully appointed outdoor kitchen and bar and firepit. You’ll look forward to hosting plenty of parties here.

That’s not to say that the interior is any less impressive. You’ll find five bedrooms and eight bathrooms across the enormous space; the owner’s suite is a true destination, containing an enormous walk-in closet, spa-like bath and sitting area. The other rooms all have a special warmth and appeal all their own, and all offer a real feeling of privacy.

It isn’t an exaggeration to say you could easily get lost here as you make your way through the rest of the stunning amenities. There’s an in-home theater, formal and informal dining area, multiple conversation and entertainment seating areas, walk-in wine cellar, wine refrigerator, and full chef’s kitchen with plenty of cabinet space and double oven. This home has been designed with modern living in mind, including plenty of natural light, a central vacuum system, eight fireplaces and more. –Ken Miller
