The Property
About This Home
An extraordinary custom architectural masterpiece by Blue Heron, this one-of-a-kind Elio residence occupies a premier homesite within the prestigious guard-gated community of MacDonald Highlands. Featured among Blue Heron's Acclaimed Past Projects, the Elio is a rare distinction reserved for select custom homes chosen to showcase the firm's most celebrated work. While several Zenith floor plans have been built throughout the valley, this extensively customized residence stands alone as the only Elio ever created, resulting in a truly irreplaceable offering. Defined by clean modern lines, expansive walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home embodies contemporary desert luxury. Dramatic corner pocket doors disappear to create an effortless connection between sophisticated interiors and resort-inspired outdoor spaces. Designed for both comfort and flexibility, the residence features dual primary suites, allowing for luxurious single-level living while maintaining the privacy and functionality of a two-story floor plan. A private elevator further enhances accessibility. The striking architecture is complemented by a four-car garage, mature landscaping, and a resort-style pool and spa. Open-concept living spaces are enhanced by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor environments synonymous with Blue Heron's award-winning design. Ideally positioned near DragonRidge Country Club, championship golf, private club amenities, fine dining, and the Las Vegas Strip, the home offers a rare combination of architectural significance, privacy, and luxury living. A truly exceptional residence where visionary design, craftsmanship, and exclusivity converge in one of Southern Nevada's most sought-after hillside communities.

About the Neighborhood
MacDonald Highlands
MacDonald Highlands is one of Henderson's most prestigious guard-gated communities, sprawling across the hillsides above the Las Vegas Valley. Home to the exclusive DragonRidge Country Club and its 18-hole championship course, the community offers residents a rare combination of elevated living, panoramic Strip views, and the privacy of 24/7 guarded entry. With roughly 700 to 900 homes spread across the terrain, the neighborhood never feels crowded despite its proximity to the city below.
The architectural diversity in MacDonald Highlands ranges from Mediterranean villas to sleek contemporary estates and transitional designs that blend the best of both worlds. Home sizes typically start around 3,000 square feet and reach well beyond 15,000 square feet for the largest custom builds. Lot sizes of a quarter-acre to over an acre give homeowners generous space for resort-style pools, outdoor living areas, and the kind of landscaping that takes full advantage of the elevation and views.
Located at elevations between 2,800 and 3,800+ feet, MacDonald Highlands enjoys cooler temperatures than the valley floor and some of the most dramatic sunset panoramas in all of Southern Nevada. The community sits approximately 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and Harry Reid International Airport, making it a practical home base for executives, entertainers, and anyone who values both privacy and accessibility.
