Uber ultra-luxury activity has remained strong in Las Vegas as evidenced by the transactions. The most recent one closed July 11 for $25.25 million for a home in MacDonald Highlands. Kristen Routh Silberman of Douglas Elliman of Nevada was the listing agent, while Miles Sansone of Sansone Real Estate Service was the buyer’s agent representing International Luxury Properties LLC. It has been recorded as the highest sale so far this year.
Built in 2020, the three-story home built by Blue Heron sits on 1.25 acres and measures 12,655 square feet with four bedrooms and 7½ baths. The previous owner, Anthony Hsieh, the founder and chairman of LoanDepot paid $25 million for the home in 2021. It was the highest price paid for a single-family home in Las Vegas at the time. The record is $35 million paid last year in The Summit Club.
The mansion features state-of-the-art technology, three en suite bedrooms, including a master suite with outdoor experience and the second-level Sky Suite accessed over a glass bridge. Every room showcases views of the Las Vegas Strip, mountains and surrounding landscape.
Home amenities include an executive office casita, digital den, glass-encased wine cellar, upper-level sky bar and lounge, second-level billiards room, formal dining room centered around a private garden, powder room with 35-foot ceiling, elevator, craft room with pet bath and feeding area and 5,000 square feet of exterior deck space. The garage, customizable up to 11 vehicles, has televisions and an electric vehicle charging station.
The entry winds through a canyon-style walkway, all the while teasing a view of the home’s entrance. Along the path, a trickle of water begins early in the progression, building to a predominant water feature at the home’s entry. The water’s path divides the main-level living area from a private master wing.
A stone path leads off the home’s entrance through the waterway and calls attention outward toward a view of the Strip framed perfectly by the walls of the home.
“This path to nowhere invites you to take a few more steps out to experience the space,” Blue Heron owner Tyler Jones said about the walkway across the water. “It’s about framing that view and drawing your eye and interest through the project to one of the most important concepts, the view.”
The grand foyer showcases a three-story, lighted floating staircase set against soaring 31-foot ceilings. The distinctive foyer is what Jones refers to as one of the home’s incredible architectural moments.
Surrounded by water on three sides, the main-level great room’s design combines polished concrete flooring, central fire feature, comfortable custom furnishings, 90-inch big-screen television and 25-foot ceilings with second-level views. Expansive pocket doors open the entire space to the outdoors.
On the other side of the entry, the private master retreat features metaquartzite stone walls, a beverage bar and expansive walk-in closets. Sourced from the south Vegas quarry, the metaquartzite stone provides the home with further connection to the region.
Stepping down into the sleeping area reveals unobstructed views of the Strip through walls of glass. The zero-edge water feature bordering a custom-designed bed contributes to the home’s seamless tie to nature.
“When you’re in bed you’re literally looking across the water to the city view,” Jones said. “Nighttime it’s incredibly gorgeous.”
The second level’s Sky Suite, a second master, is accessed over a glass bridge. The suite’s custom-designed bed is bordered by a glass wall showcasing views of the Strip.
The home’s second-level billiards room features built-in couches, cozy furnishings and beverage bar. The space opens to an upper-level deck with a cantilevered walkway extending toward the Strip skyline.
Rising three levels above the main level, the sky bar and lounge are designed as a space for social gatherings. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal unobstructed views and access to an exterior deck.
