A luxury estate

Extraordinary doesn't begin to describe this nearly 15-acre property not far from the heart of Las Vegas. The five-bedroom, seven-bath home represents a unique opportunity in terms of privacy, potential, and price. Double gates and a brick-paved, tree-lined drive leading to a traditional clay-tile roof single-story home surrounded by manicured green lawn. Formal fruit orchards have been planted on either side of the drive. Surrounding yet-to-be-developed acreage offers abundant possibilities to a new owner; horses are allowed, but numerous other options exist under existing zoning. A portion of the land is given over to solar panels, and the home itself is built to the highest standards of green efficiency and sustainability. The home's entry courtyard boasts a striking fountain, welcoming fireplace, and a shaded colonnade to encourage outdoor living during all seasons. A second fountain graces another fully enclosed courtyard and a second-level covered deck is reached by enclosed stairs off the rear patio. Views abound in every direction -- of city lights, the Strip, and surrounding mountains. The home's interior, with more than 5,600 square feet of living space, has exotic grained bamboo flooring throughout, a massive open-truss ceiling in the great room, custom cabinetry with natural stone counters, and pro-style stainless appliances in the large kitchen. Many rooms have sliding glass doors to the exterior, and most have ceiling fans. The home features 21-foot ceilings in some areas. The master bath includes a noteworthy copper clawfoot tub set in front of an arched window, and an oversize rain head faucet is a luxury feature of the glass-enclosed double shower. A green-conscious home as well, this home comes with solar panels that provided approximately 70-ton hours of cooling for the residence. The four-car garage includes an upper-level loft suitable for use as a playroom, exercise space, or workshop.
