High above Henderson’s desert floor, Ascaya spreads across roughly 670 acres of sculpted hillside in the McCullough Mountain Range. The development was carved from the mountainside in one of the largest excavation projects in the country, creating 313 estate-sized lots surrounded by 31 miles of stone walls that average twelve feet high. When planning began in 2006, developers positioned most of the home sites to maximize vistas—about 70 percent of the lots were intended to offer unobstructed views of the Las Vegas Strip. Home elevations range from roughly 1,900 to 3,200 feet, giving residents cooler temperatures and dramatic desert panoramas.
Architecturally, Ascaya champions modern desert-contemporary design, blending natural materials like stone, wood and steel with floor‑to‑ceiling glass walls and wide pocket doors. Each custom residence sits on a half- to one-acre homesite (some larger) and is crafted by notable builders such as Blue Heron. The community enforces strict design guidelines to protect sightlines and aesthetic cohesion, so the homes feel like sculptural extensions of the landscape. Lot prices often start around $1 million to $3 million, while finished estate homes typically sell between $7 million and $12 million.
The heart of Ascaya is its $25 million clubhouse, a 23,000‑square‑foot resort facility with porcelain‑tiled reception areas, a 1,200‑square‑foot catering kitchen and a 3,000‑square‑foot fitness centre. Just outside, an 8,000‑square‑foot zero‑edge pool overlooks the city. Residents enjoy tennis and pickleball courts, yoga and meditation lawns, wine tastings, art events and a children’s pavilion. A family park provides green space, a splash pad and play structures connected by private trails. Beyond the gates, homeowners are minutes from high‑end shopping and dining at The District at Green Valley Ranch, water sports at Lake Las Vegas and golf at nearby DragonRidge Country Club.
Elevated living comes with 24/7 guard‑gated security and a close‑knit, low‑density atmosphere. Buyers can choose from build‑ready lots or move‑in‑ready contemporary homes, each positioned to capture either Strip or mountain views. With its combination of privacy, architectural artistry and resort‑level amenities, Ascaya remains one of Henderson’s most coveted addresses.
