Top 10 Luxury Home Sales In 2022

A Summit Club home in Summerlin set the mark at $18.95 million as the highest luxury sale in Las Vegas in 2022 and No. 2 sale in the history of Las Vegas for single-family homes as displayed on the Multiple Listing Service. Only the $25 million paid for a MacDonald Highlands mansion in 2021 topped that 2022 sale on the MLS.

The two-story property in the uber luxury resort community has five bedrooms and eight baths and measures 9,427 square feet. It was built in 2019 by Growth Luxury Homes and sits on a Stardust Drive lot measuring 26,572 square feet with golf course views.

“It’s a great home,” said Sher, the listing agent and the owner of IS LUXURY. “It has a Santa Barbara exterior and eclectic interior. It has a separate guest casita and the only way you can get to it is with an outside staircase or internal elevator. One of the garages was converted to an indoor basketball court. It’s in a great location. If this home were in The Ridges or anywhere else it wouldn’t get anywhere near that price outside of the Summit.”

Sher said the property is “majestically perched within The Summit Club with city, mountain and golf course views.” It has “timeless design elements, a grand great room with gorgeous natural light, dramatic wood-beam ceilings and exquisite views. The architectural use of arches throughout the home adds to the richness of the interior, while black iron doors and window frames bring a definitive feel of security and comfort.”

The master bedroom is a “decadent retreat resplendent with a spa-like bathroom that includes a private outdoor terrace with an outdoor shower,” Sher said.

The home also features a secluded private apartment. This space includes its own stairs, elevator, living room, bedroom, bathroom and laundry.

The entire upper level is devoted to entertainment, with a game room, lounge, bar and golf simulator, Sher said.

“It’s timeless,” Sher said. “Two of the three homes that sold in The Summit are not modern. One we sold for $15 million was much more stylistic and traditional than modern and contemporary. It’s very California. This is Montecito. These two homes are getting top dollar. There’s a third off-market home that sold for $17 million, which was contemporary.”

Steve Escalante, senior vice president of business development with Growth Luxury Homes, called it a beautiful home and that they’re proud of what they created.

“This home is an authentic Spanish-style of house from the design, architectural design time and interior design team,” Escalante said. “They really came together to create that authenticity of that style here in Las Vegas. We definitely enjoy taking on world-class projects that are not only unique but respect the design architecture of what the client wants.”

Kevin Marsh with Summit Club Realty was the buyer’s agent.

A lot of it is one-of-a-kind and curated for this house and doesn’t exist anywhere else in the United States. It’s a collector’s trophy piece. It’s a jewel. It’s exquisite.

In May, boxing promoter and former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya paid $14.6 million in cash for a home on the MLS that’s under construction on Dragon Peak Drive in the luxury Henderson hillside community of MacDonald Highlands.

De La Hoya’s one-story home sits on nearly 1 acre and will measure 10,460 square feet of livable space with five bedrooms, seven baths and an eight-car garage. The home was acquired from luxury builder Blue Heron.

It has 8,051 square feet on the inside and 2,409 square feet on the outside and is a classic design with a modern twist, she said.

“It represents another masterpiece and milestone for Blue Heron and Tyler Jones,” Routh-Silberman said. “It’s sensational and will be a showstopper once it’s complete. Blue Heron is constantly evolving and with this home they are taking modern and mixing it with timeless. It’s a new look for them. It’s very refined for modern architecture. It should be a showpiece in Architectural Digest when it’s finished.”

The home features panoramic views of the Strip and mountains. The entrance is considered a statement with water features and a porte-cochere.

“It’s every man’s dream to have the garages and an entrance be a statement when you’re coming in,” Routh- Silberman said.

The home has a primary bedroom on its own wing, a guest wing with a digital den and media room. There’s an office, gym and bar as well.

Other features include an outdoor living room, outdoor kitchen and outdoor dining and wine room. The backyard has a lap pool. It has a spa, fire lounges and play areas. The home will be fully furnished from a Blue Heron furniture collection when completed in 2023.
