Oh, That View!

Ascaya’s Horizon rises more than 2,000 feet above the Las Vegas Valley

When it comes to Las Vegas real estate, there are breathtaking views, and then there’s … Horizon, a home in the guard-gated, exclusive community of Ascaya in the McCullough Mountain Range. This home, which just became available on the market, is so named because it rises more than 1,000 feet above the city, over- looking the Las Vegas Valley, Strip and other mountain ranges. But, as you’re about to discover, that’s just the beginning.

This 6,100-square-foot, single-story home, listed by Darin Marques of the Darin Marques Group at Huntington & Ellis, contains plenty of space for families of any size—five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a 1,000-square-foot, four-car garage. The entire home has a California flavor, thanks to a collaboration between California-based Brandon Architects and Morrison Interiors. From the soaring wood plank ceilings and expansive glass walls to the sim- plistic clean lines, you’ll truly get an Orange County feel here.

You’ll feel the good vibes from the moment you step out of your car. Floating metal steps lead to a custom metal gate and outdoor atrium, and two floor-to-ceiling glass doors offer access to each side of the home and backyard. It’s an entrance designed to seriously impress.

There are so many focal points in this home that it’s almost overwhelming. The dining area, great room and kitchen overlook the backyard and the Strip through a retaining glass wall, while the gourmet chef’s kitchen and hidden prep area pop with a marble waterfall island, built-in wine refrigerator and ceiling-high wood cabinetry.

The ensuite bedrooms all feature hardwood flooring, custom bathroom treatments, walk-in showers, private access to the backyard and ample closet space. The primary suite has a spalike bathroom that includes dual sinks joined by a vanity space, a standalone tub, expansive shower with three water features, dual water closets and a walk-in closet with an island and glass casings. Elsewhere in this room you’ll find dual built-in bookcases, a lounge area with a fireplace, and a glass retaining wall with backyard access.

The backyard itself is a private oasis, accessed by two oversized glass doors and featuring three outdoor entertainment areas, pool and spa and outdoor kitchen. –Ken Miller
