I Heart Vegas INTO THE SWING OF LAS VEGAS As the most acclaimed golf instructor in the country, Butch Harmon has helped shape the skills of Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Greg Norman and other championship caliber talent over the years. He even spent time as the personal instructor for the king of Morocco. A Las Vegas resident since 1997, the former PGA pro now runs the Butch Harmon School of Golf at the Rio Secco Golf Club in Seven Hills (with expansion sites in Florida and Dubai). Harmon is also a broadcaster and author with several books to his name and a regular column in Golf Digest. He served in the army during Vietnam and founded the Harmon’s Heroes Foundation to help disabled veterans and military families. With his heart clearly entrenched in the community, Butch Harmon opens up to Luxury Estates International about living in Las Vegas, his love of golf and the one thing most players forget to do. LEI: Why did you move to Las Vegas? Harmon: It was the perfect situation. I approached Rio Secco with the idea of doing a high-end quality school on a smaller scale. There were great golf schools at the resorts, but they were too big. Everybody was just a number. We wanted to do something more personal and Las Vegas was the perfect place to do it. People come to Vegas to spend money. We figured we’d give them a great experience of fun and learning during the day — and then they’d have the city at night to do whatever they like to do. It’s worked out perfectly.

FEATURED MASTERPIECE image on the screen is crystal clear. A wine room in the center of the home is large enough to hold more than 2,800 bottles and bordered by a saltwater fish tank - custom designed by Tanked with the machinery kept out of earshot in the four-car garage. The master bedroom serves as its own retreat with an elevated lounge area, fireplace and mini-kitchen. An entire corner opens wide to a magnificent outdoor terrace - with automated sliding doors disappearing into the walls - soaking in beautiful Strip and golf course views with an infinity-edge pool, spa and fire pits below. Majestic his-and-her bathrooms are separated by a large walk-in stone steam shower and sauna. Gaze at the neon lights of Las Vegas from a jetted hot tub and pick out a perfect outfit from one of two furnished walk-in closets. A nearby glass bridge extends to a tranquil solarium to soak in the rays. Visitors enjoy their own privacy with a separate wing of ensuite guest rooms and two attached casitas with access to the courtyard. An upstairs fitness center has its own patio views. The downstairs office welcomes natural light from the second floor, resting underneath an elegant copper fiber optic sculpture that’s always in rotation. Pincelada is a true masterpiece that took years to build and is further enhanced by the latest technology, touch-screen automation and exhaustive security features. Attention-to-detail, rare materials and elite craftsmanship are found in every inch of the property, delivering a dream residence that’s as inspiring and breathtaking as the Las Vegas Valley views that surround it.

attraction for banquets and weddings to this day.
The club, entirely member-owned since the mortgage was paid off in 1984, was sold to the Samick Musical Instruments Company of South Korea in an announcement made in early 2018. The course itself is deed-restricted, which means the new owners don’t have the option to reduce or eliminate it. Operations are expected to continue as a private club and only be enhanced by future upgrades. For those who enjoy life on the links, residential options at the Las Vegas Country Club include custom homes, semi-custom homes and townhouses. Styles range from midcentury modern renovations to sleek and contemporary designs with high ceilings and wide-open floor plans. The landscape is also home to Regency Towers, the first high-rise in Las Vegas, and Monterey Condos, an apartment complex that was remodeled and converted into private condominiums in 2005. Backyard and balcony views include not only the lush golf courses greens and water features, but also the Strip in all its glory, including the towering presence of the Stratosphere. It’s rare for a country club environment to be so conveniently close to both the Strip and Downtown while retaining a sense of seclusion, privacy and security. It’s no wonder power players, celebrities and sports stars have called the Las Vegas Country Club home over the years. With new ownership in place, expect this historic community to age with the robust character of a fine wine. The best is yet to come!

BEHIND DESIGN the
A DIFFERENT POINT OF VU // CHRISTOPHER HOMES Chris Stuhmer doesn’t just design homes in Las Vegas. He designs communities. “Your experience is so much more than what’s inside your house or what it looks like from the street,” says the CEO and founder of Christopher Homes. “A lot of people don’t want to live in a traditional neighborhood.”
Stuhmer’s latest project takes that philosophy and pulls it in a brand new direction. Vu by Christopher Homes is the first townhouse community in the luxury mountainside enclave of MacDonald Highlands. The homes aren’t the largest in the guard-gated master-planned development, but they’re among the most stylish — complementing each other with sleek modern exteriors, contemporary designs and inventive use of functionality. The floor plans are open and spacious, merging effortlessly with balconies, courtyards, patios and other outdoor spaces through large sliding doors and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Living up to the promise of the name, every residence takes advantage of the elevation and topography to soak in spectacular views of not only Dragon Ridge Golf Course, but the Strip, Downtown and virtually every corner of the Las Vegas Valley. Some vantage points are so high, they actually appear to be above jetliners beginning their descent toward McCarran International Airport. The homes at Vu, which range from single-story dwellings to multi-level units with penthouses, are especially attractive to empty-nesters who are downsizing to 2,800-4,600 square feet but want to retain a luxury lifestyle. The home designs also appeal to small families who seek unconventional living spaces. “With millennials, it’s all about the experience,” says Stuhmer. “And simplicity in life is a much higher priority than it used to be.” Despite an appetite for less overall space, homeowners aren’t ready to sacrifice size in “non-negotiables” like master bedrooms, closets and gourmet kitchens.
by
BEHIND DESIGN the
“The kitchen is where everybody gathers, no matter what. It’s traditionally designed as a functional cooking space, but that’s not how people use it most of the time,” says Stuhmer. “They use it as an entertaining space you happen to cook in.” Industry experts from around the country are taking notice. The National Association of Home Builders recently honored Vu with the prestigious Gold Award for Best Architectural Design of an Attached Community as well as the Silver Award for Best Interior Merchandising of a Model Priced $500,000 to $700,000. The competition was stiff, with judges narrowing down winners from a field of more than 1,300 entries over a three-day period. Vu kept the momentum going by earning the best-in-class Gold Award for Best Townhome Community by the Best in American Living Awards. The accolades reflect Stuhmer’s passion for excellence, which began at an early age. He grew up in the business doing trade work in the
30
summer and helping his father build entry-level homes. After studying architecture, the budding entrepreneur went into business for himself in 1981 — starting big with custom homes in the Section 10 neighborhood west of the Strip. As Christopher Homes grew as a company, it shifted focus to semi-custom communities, which Stuhmer felt could hold greater advantages for a buyer. He relished the opportunity to not only control the feel of a neighborhood but also invest in highly-skilled professionals who could fine-tune every corner of a house on a luxury level. With all the pieces in place, Christopher Homes would go on to create timeless communities like the Palisades, Vineyards, Country Club Hills, The Enclave, Palm Valley Estates and Boulder Ridge in The Ridges. “Palisades looks better today than when it opened,” says Stuhmer about the lush, tree-lined development. “We spend a lot of time, energy, effort and money to make sure a neighborhood ages well.” Future plans will continue to take shape in MacDonald Highlands, where Christopher Homes is already planning an expansion of Vu, a second community of exclusively single-story homes and a collection of semicustom detached homes between 4,000 and more than 6,000 square feet. “MacDonald Highlands is a golf course community, but it’s nestled on the side of the mountain,” says Stuhmer. “It’s mature, and with that comes trees and landscaping. The valley slopes in this direction and ten of the holes on the golf course are looking at that view. It’s also convenient. You’re 10 to 15 minutes from the Strip or airport.” Whether large or small, Christopher Homes has spent decades building homes that exceed expectations and outpace design trends. By offering new alternatives for the luxury homebuyer in MacDonald Highlands, Chris Stuhmer is continuing to build a legacy of excellence throughout the Las Vegas landscape.

From a private pool on the outdoor terrace to the colorful hand-carved pietra dura artwork that complements the Venetian plaster and Jerusalem stone, the nearly 20,000-square-foot residence is a true work of art. (Learn more on page 42.) Other units range from 2,000 to 13,000 square feet, all reflecting the lavish nature of the property. The amenities rival the best resorts in Las Vegas and mirror a style found in classic European hotels and spas. An outdoor pool deck is surrounded by Romaninspired statues while an indoor fitness center is accompanied by yet another pool and private rooms for massage services or other beauty treatments. Enjoy a latte from a barista in the lounge or sample a bottle of wine in a downstairs tasting room with personal lockers. There’s even a private dining room for entertaining large parties. The location of the property offers the best of all worlds. Sitting on a comfortable 20-acre site, One Queensridge Place offers a carefree atmosphere and plenty of privacy, yet it’s incredibly convenient. The high-rise community is near championship golf courses and within minutes of shopping centers—including Tivoli Village, an outdoor plaza also developed by EHB Companies with a classic European influence. The nearby Summerlin Parkway provides easy access to the Strip, Downtown and McCarran International Airport. Whatever you desire, it’s all within reach at One Queensridge Place.

Even an obese person might suffer from food scarcity. “In the United States, we have very malnourished people,” he explains. “They’re poor, so they’re eating calorie-dense food that’s cheap. It’s not good for them.” Despite the grave nature of the problem, Burton and his team carry out their duties with hope and positivity — symbolized in Three Square’s logo of an orange stick figure with outstretched arms. More than 1,500 volunteers donate time to Three Square each week. “We’re the largest volunteer platform in Nevada,” says Burton. “We have 36,000 people who volunteered at least an hour last year.”

[2] The holiday season is a time for giving and LEI was proud to lead a collection drive for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Thanks to some very generous hearts, the LEI family was able to hit its charity goal and fill more donation boxes than ever before! [3] LEI celebrated a year of excellence with the recognition of top producers for 2017. [4] LEI’s own Lee M. Riseman raised more than $32,000 for the Nevada Ballet Theatre (NBT) through a campaign with Vegas Gives. To thank her generous donors, Lee and her husband Benson Riseman held a “Cocktails with Gratitude” reception at Veer Towers, where LEI represents fabulous properties for sale. (See page 62). [5] LEI’s Kamran Zand met up with Christopher Homes Founder & CEO Chris Stuhmer to discuss the homebuilder’s expansion into MacDonald Highlands. (See page 28.) One of the model homes at Vu by Christopher Homes has already been sold in a deal brokered by LEI’s Nattaly Aleman. [6] Kamran Zand celebrated the release of MyVegas Magazine’s Fall 2017 issue. He was featured on the cover and included among the publication’s Top 100 Men of the Year. 69

A PRO ATHLETE’S DILEMMA
“SHOULD I BUY OR RENT?” The choice to buy or rent can be a tough one if you’re a professional athlete. Regardless of the sport, most players would rather focus their time and energy on winning championships than discussing the financial details behind finding a place to live. Unfortunately, an athlete’s life isn’t always predictable. Even a star player can be traded at a moment’s notice. Ed Kaminsky knows the dilemma all too well. He’s been working with athletes and their families for more than 30 years. As the founder and CEO of SportStar Relocation, he partners with a network of trusted brokers across the country to help professional players find the right home for their needs. “People preach location, location, location,” says Kaminsky. “But the one thing more important is timing, timing, timing.”
