LAS VEGAS, NV – A massive mega-mansion compound in Las Vegas’ affluent Spanish Trail community that boasts a super-impressive 25 bedrooms and 46 bathrooms has been sold for a whopping $25 million. The sale ties the record for the most expensive home ever sold in the region, which was originally set as a 15,000-square–foot residence in Henderson that sold for $25 million in 2021. 

The compound – which was previously built for and owned by Jefri Bolkiah, the Prince of the tiny Asian country of Brunei – comes in at 110,320-square-feet and is situated on a 16-acre plot of land located at 99 Spanish Gate Drive.

The compound has 10 interconnected buildings, with the main house coming in at 37,466-square-feet with five bedrooms and eight baths. There’s also a 47,367-square-foot athletic club/pool house with an indoor badminton and squash courts, a hotel-sized spa and gym, indoor pool, bowling alley and nightclub.

In 2007, singer Michael Jackson had reportedly moved into Bolkiah’s compound and stayed there for some time. 

Construction of the property originally began in 1996 and is approximately 90 percent complete; there has been no additional development of the compound since 1999, according to the listing agent. While the home is completely enclosed and finished, appliances aren’t included and some degree of detailed finish work isn’t complete; however, otherwise, the home is mostly completed.

When asked why construction wasn’t finished, the listing agent noted that when Bolkiah built it, he had “different expectations” regarding Las Vegas and ultimately ended up not moving there. 

The listing agent has not named the now-former owners of the property, noting that he has not dealt with them directly and instead has been conducting business through their lawyers and financial advisors; the reason the property was put on the market is unknown, he said.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Multiple parcels of land in the Las Vegas Valley, totaling 589 acres, have been sold by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) – an agency within the United States Department of the Interior responsible for administering federal lands – for the impressive sum of $93 million. 

BLM had previously announced that they would be auctioning off some of their land in the Las Vegas Valley this past July, with the federal agency being allowed to do so thanks to the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act of 1998. 

While the majority of the parcels sold were relatively small in size, one parcel was particularly large – coming in at 505 acres and located east of Red Rock Canyon and West of Interstate 215 – and was purchased by Las Vegas real estate developer Lawrence Canarelli for $55 million. 

While Canarelli has not publicly stated what he intends to use the land for, experts note that due to its large size and how other properties in the area have been utilized in recent years, it will most likely be utilized for housing projects. 

The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management issued a press release announcing that the property sold was acquired by its new respective owners by way of a “competitive” online auction process. 

The sale of this public land within a congressionally-designated disposal boundary will generate funding to enhance recreation opportunities, promote species and habitat conservation and reduce the threat of wildfire in locations across the state,” the release said. 

BLM noted that 85 percent of the proceeds from the sale will be utilized mainly for projects to benefit the public, such as developing parks and trails as well as federal land capital improvements, purchasing land encountering environmental issues, landscape restoration projects, and the reduction of hazardous fuels. In addition, 5 percent will go towards the Nevada General Education Fund and the remaining 10 percent will go to the Southern Nevada Water Authority. 

An additional 225-acre parcel of land that was originally slated to be included in this auction will be put up for sale at a later date, according to the BLM, which currently owns 48 million acres in Nevada, or approximately 67 percent of the state.

LAS VEGAS, NV – MIG Real Estate LLC has announced the sale of Pecos Plaza, a 124,000-square-foot medical and office campus in Henderson, Nevada, to new owner Woodside Health for $26.7 million. The seller was represented in the transaction by Cushman & Wakefield and JLL, reports say.

Originally built in 2006, Pecos Plaza is a Class B medical and office campus that is anchored by a two-story building with an additional seven single-story medical and professional office buildings, all located on a 7.62-acre plot of land at 9005-9089 South Pecos Road. The plaza is situated nearly seven miles from downtown Henderson, just over 18 miles from Las Vegas, and has access to Interstate 215.

Reports indicate that the campus is currently 93 percent occupied, with the property anchored by multiple retail establishments such as Michaels, Starbucks, Denny’s and UPS, among others. The medical facilities located on the campus are Belle Medical, Las Vegas Urology, Serenity Dental and Innovative Pain Care Center, in addition to several more.

MIG Real Estate LLC had originally acquired Pecos Plaza in 2014, having purchased the campus for $17.5 million from Wells Fargo Bank.

New Pecos Plaza owner Woodside Health has an extensive history when it comes to the medical field. The company was originally founded in 2008, and this newest purchase represents their 48th acquisition overall, giving them a combined total of over 2.5 million square feet – about twice the area of Chicago’s Millennium Park – in healthcare assets across the country, spread out over Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Ohio and Texas.

Earlier in 2023, Woodside – as part of a $140 million transaction – recapitalized a medical office portfolio spread out over four states, consisting of 10 properties with a combined size of 423,000-square-feet. And in June 2022 Woodside purchased Optum Center – a 81,907-square-foot medical office building anchored by UnitedHealthcare – in Phoenix, Arizona for $20 million.

LAS VEGAS, NV – The former chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International, Jim Murren, has sold his Las Vegas mansion – dubbed “Skyspace” – for over $15 million, making it the second highest price that a home has fetched in the Valley this past September, following the sale of actor Mark Walberg’s Summit Club bungalow for $16.65 million. 

Murren had previously listed the residence for sale in July 2020 – at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic – for $10.5 million, although he later removed it from the market. He eventually relisted it for $17.75 million, with the home selling last month for $15.95 million. 

Skyspace is a 13,000 square-foot home situated on 1.5 acres on Painted Feather Way within the Summerlin community and golf club, offering views of the Las Vegas Strip via a series of wall-to-wall windows. It has five bedrooms, eight baths, and a separate one-bedroom guest house.  

The mansion was created with a reverence for art and philosophy; there are several corner spaces that allow for solitary reflection, indoor bamboo and pine trees, and a Zen garden outside the main bedroom laden with multiple pathways that could take upwards of 45 minutes to traverse. The house also contains numerous amenities, including an indoor basketball court, gym, movie theater, wine cellar, pool, spa, and a huge open-concept kitchen. 

“Skyspace” derives its name from a large art installation that essentially turns the home into a “sensory experience” by utilizing high-tech equipment to create the illusion of being in space by making use of natural light provided at both sunrise and sunset. The equipment for this experience was not part of the home’s asking price when Murren originally listed it in 2020 but was available for purchase separately; it is unknown if it was included in September’s sale. 

Mr. Murren, who resigned from MGM in February 2020, has stated that he and his wife are planning on remaining in Las Vegas but simply wanted to downsize to a home more suitable for their needs, as apparently Skyspace afforded them more space than was necessary.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg, well-known for starring in blockbuster movies such as “Transformers,” “Boogie Nights,” and “Pain and Gain,” has just sold his Las Vegas home just over one year after having purchased it, making an impressive profit in the process. 

In August 2022, Wahlberg bought a 7,327 square-foot, two-story, four-bedroom townhome for $14.5 million in the Summerlin-based The Summit Club, a stylish, private neighborhood catering to affluent families and individuals.  

One month prior to that purchase, Wahlberg had acquired a 2.5-acre plot of residential land for $15.6 million in the same community with the potential goal of using it to construct a mansion from the ground up. 

Just over one year later, the actor sold the townhouse on September 22 for over $16.6 million, netting himself a $2 million return on his investment. However, to date, it is still not known what the plans for the vacant plot of Summit Club land that he owns are. 

The Summit Club describes itself as a “555-acre extraordinary sanctuary” that is nestled between Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the Las Vegas Strip, located off Town Center Drive south of Flamingo Road. The website goes on to say “The Summit Club is the only private residential lifestyle club community in Las Vegas. Sit back and enjoy five-star amenities, a championship golf course, a robust outdoor pursuits program and unique terrain-to-table culinary offerings.” 

The website also notes a plethora of wellness and recreation programs for residents, as well as snacks-laden golf course “comfort stations” and pickle ball and tennis courts that are adjacent to Wahlberg’s new residence. 

This is not the first expensive property that Wahlberg has parted with recently; earlier this year, he also sold his Beverly Hills Mansion for $55 million after previously listing the property for $87.5 million in 2022. He and his wife had previously purchased the estate in 2009 for $8.25 million.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A sale of a home in Summerlin’s Summit Club community – dubbed the “Sky Summit” – topped Las Vegas residential real estate sales for the month of July, fetching a cool $15 million for its sellers. 

The Sky Summit was originally constructed in 2020 and is located on Vegas Hill Court; the residence comes in at 8,936 square feet in size – about twice the area of a basketball court – and boasts seven bedrooms, six full baths, two partial baths, a five-car garage, and is situated upon an 0.8 acre plot of land. 

The home features a French contemporary design and impressive views of mountains and a neighboring golf course. The kitchen has a granite island with bar seating, and the primary suite located on the first floor has two custom walk-in closets and a master bathroom that extends from the house and into the outdoors; it is surrounded by dense landscaping to maintain privacy. 

The second floor also features an additional living area with a kitchen and dining area, in addition to a private balcony and two bedrooms. 

This modern, open concept design truly embodies and captures the best of desert living,” the listing says. “With its floor-to-ceiling windows, pocket doors, private Zen courtyard, extensive shaded patios, pool deck and balcony, it truly is a resort unto itself. With smooth white stucco exterior and stone columns, the entrance ushers you into a grand foyer. A great room holds a seating area ringed by beautiful stone, and first and second-story windows allow gorgeous mountain views.” 

The home was purchased by Sweet World Delta LLC from homeowners Candace Carr Easdale and Jack Clarke. 

In addition, a MacDonald Highlands home in Henderson came in as the second-highest sale of July at $12.9 million, with third place going to a residence in Henderson’s Ascaya neighborhood that sold for $8.95 million.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A mansion located in Henderson’s Ascaya neighborhood – a private luxury community overlooking Las Vegas – has sold for $20.5 million after having previously changed hands back in June of 2021 for $14.69 million, illustrating the high level of price appreciation in southern Nevada’s luxury home market in recent years. 

The hillside home had been featured in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s “Real Estate Millions” column in 2018, where it was dubbed the “house of wow and water.” The one-story estate – designed and built by Sun West Custom Homes – is situated on a 2.27-acre plot of land and offers a total of 12,101 square feet of space. It features six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two partial bathrooms, as well as a mammoth six-car garage. 

Developer Sun West notes that the mansion boasts many resort-style amenities and caters to both indoor and outdoor living, offering breathtaking views of the famed Las Vegas Strip as well as local mountain ranges. 

The backyard has a 5,900 square foot swimming pool that has a cold plunge and a spa. The great room also features views of the Strip, and the house has an entertaining kitchen with a separate prep kitchen, a game room, theater, study, casita, sports court, and an outdoor kitchen. 

The listing for the Ascaya estate, provided by real estate broker Ivan Sher, describes the home as containing a luxurious aesthetic combined with the natural beauty of the desert surrounding Henderson. 

This is where modern luxury intertwines with breathtaking vistas. When you pull up your car to the porte-cochere you look toward the house and you have dead-on Strip views. Everything is massive in scale. It’s a best-in-class home,” the listing says. “The home is enhanced by six generously proportioned bedrooms, including a mini suite and a full casita, offering versatility and privacy for guests and loved ones, alike.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Actor Dean Cain – who grew to national fame playing Superman in the popular television series “Lois and Clark” in the 1990’s – is the latest example of California residents leaving their home for the improved quality of life offered by the neighboring state of Nevada, with Clark County property records showing that he closed on a $4 million home in Las Vegas’ Henderson suburb late last month. 

In a recent interview, Cain said that he enjoyed living in California but had decided to move from Malibu to Las Vegas because he was beginning to find the political climate in the Golden State becoming unbearable for his tastes.  

However, the actor recalled thinking “I believe I’ve done a very, very smart thing” almost immediately after moving to Southern Nevada. 

I love California. It’s the most beautiful state. Everything’s wonderful about it except for the policies. The policies are just terrible. The fiscal policies, the soft-on-crime policies, the homelessness policies,” Cain said. “If I wanted to do anything out of Malibu, it took me 45 minutes to an hour to get anywhere. Here, the longest I’m driving is 20 minutes.”  

Cain sold his ocean-view Malibu home in May for $6.25 million, a $1 million reduction from his original asking price. His new residence, located within Henderson’s guard-gated Terracina at Seven Hills development, comes in at 6,600 square feet with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a three-car garage, boasting modern, contemporary architecture with views of mountains, city lights, and the famed Las Vegas Strip. 

The interior, which is accessed through a walled courtyard with an elegant “walk on water” entrance, boasts high ceilings and glass walls, with a great room with two fireplaces and three wall mounted televisions and a huge gourmet kitchen. Other high-end amenities include an elevator, movie theater, glass and closed wine cellar, a game room, and a backyard putting green.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A strikingly unique mansion on sale in the gated Las Vegas community known as The Ridges in Summerlin that features a cobblestone Italian street complete with faux storefronts has sold for nearly $6 million. 

Dubbed “Little Italy” and located at 15 Bright Hollow Court in The Ridges’ affluent gated Azure community, the home was originally listed for $6.5 million, with the eventual sale being finalized on May 30 for $5.9 million to a homeowner currently living in The Ridges. 

The owners of the six-bedroom mansion, Lara and David Stone, spared no expense to create a stunning replica of an Italian street in the backyard of their home, located on a 0.6-acre plot of land. 

Built by the Stones in 2011, the three-story, 9,771 square-foot home features six en suite bedrooms, formal living and dining, an executive office/library with built-ins, a craft room/office and an elevator. 

The backyard has a lightwell in its basement that is located under the backyard, and in an effort to spruce it up in an unusual way, the couple took a suggestion from Lara’s mother to build a European street scene around it. With the Stones having visited Italy multiple times, it seemed only natural to use it as inspiration, they said. 

The result is an ultra-realistic replica of an Italian street – “Via Di Pietra” which translates to “Stone Street” – complete with cobblestone floors, fake storefronts with windows and doors, and quaint little cafe tables. The storefronts, while fake, nonetheless contain rooms behind them, such as a wine cellar and a home theater. 

Other amenities in the house include a pool, an outdoor fire pit, a basketball court. Crestron 4 Smart Home Technology, and a four-car garage and porte-cochere entry.

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Las Vegas estate of National Hockey League (NHL) star Max Pacioretty, a left winger for the Carolina Hurricanes, has sold for an impressive $11 million.

The sale represented two significant milestones for the Southern Nevada region; it is the highest price ever paid for a home in The Ridges – a luxury master-planned community in Summerlin, where Pacioretty’s home was located – as well as the highest price paid for a home anywhere in the greater Las Vegas area so far this year.

Initially starting his career with the Montreal Canadiens, Pacioretty, 34, was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights before the 2018–19 NHL season; although the move reportedly revitalized his career, he was traded to the Hurricanes in July 2022 due to salary cap complications with the Golden Knights, thus necessitating the sale of his Vegas home.

The NHL player’s now-former home in The Ridges is indeed an impressive estate, consisting of a single-story mansion with 10,000 square-feet of living space, situated upon a half-acre plot of land.

The home offers a plethora of opulent amenities, including a Calacatta marble fireplace, wine cellar, personal gym, sauna, screening room, 55-foot pool, fire pit, sport court, an outdoor kitchen, and a built-in hockey practice surface.

The kitchen boasts double islands and a walk-in pantry, and the primary bedroom suite comes with sliding glass doors that allow access to the yard and pool. The bathroom features a soaking tub as well as double showers.

Over the course of his career, Pacioretty has scored 326 goals and accumulated 318 assists; however, Pacioretty is currently sitting out due to an injury he sustained to his Achilles tendon in January.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Celine Dion has sold her luxurious Las Vegas mansion, located in the affluent Summit Club community, in an off-market deal that netted the world-famous best-selling singer a whopping $30 million.

While the mansion in question has been confirmed to have been owned by Dion, it is currently unknown if the singer behind some of the bestselling English-language albums in history – such as “Beauty and the Beast” and “My Heart Will Go On” – had ever actually moved in to the sprawling estate, which reports say was regularly being worked on by construction companies.

The six-time Grammy Award winner originally purchased the Summit Club home in 2017 for $9.2 million, which makes the $30 million sale a significant return on her initial investment. The deal reportedly closed in late April, with the buyer being an LLC tied to San Francisco-based private equity head Chuck Esserman.

As the property was never actually listed on the open market and was sold as a private transaction, there are few details available about it beyond what is available in Clark County records. The 31,000 square-foot mansion is located upon a 1.4 acre plot of land and has four bedrooms and an incredible 12 bathrooms.

The residence also has a 3,300-square-foot subterranean parking garage and a pool and a spa that overlooks the 12th hole on the Summit Club’s Tom Fazio-designed golf course.

Dion has been regarded as one of the greatest singers in music; with record sales of estimated at 200 million worldwide, she is the best-selling Canadian recording artist, the best-selling French-language artist, and one of the best-selling recording artists of all time.

The guard-gated Summit Club is also home to many other wealthy and powerful individuals, such as Golden Knights owner Bill Foley, motivational speaker Tony Robbins, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, data center mogul Rob Roy, and Hollywood movie star Mark Wahlberg.

LAS VEGAS, NV – In a state known for pricey luxury real estate purchases, a Henderson mansion that is currently under contract could eclipse them all if the sale goes through, considering the property’s whopping $75 million asking price.

Located within the MacDonald Highlands – a series of affluent residential neighborhoods in Henderson – a lavish residence slated to be constructed by development firm Terra FirmaIs is under contract for the aforementioned record $75 million, and will be one of the largest luxury homes ever built in the Las Vegas valley, clocking in at an eye-popping 55,000 square feet.

The previous record holder when it comes to luxury sales in Las Vegas was a newly-built 15,000-square-foot home situated on 1.26 acres – also in MacDonald Highlands – that was purchased in 2021 for $25 million.

The deal for the potentially record-breaking home sale is due to close in mid-May, at which time it will officially appear in Clark County records.

The especially interesting part of this transaction lies in the fact that the home has not even been constructed yet; the design has yet to be finalized and is subject to change, but in its current configuration the residence is slated to be 55,000 square feet in size and standing either two or three stories with a total of 13 bedrooms.

The home will be constructed upon four combined lots for a total of 1.1 acres. The groundbreaking on the project is expected to take place in early 2024, and construction of the residence will take approximately two-and-a-half years, according to the developer.

Upon completion, the home will reflect a modern design aesthetic and possess many high-end amenities, such as a gym, a movie theater, a gaming room, sports court and swimming pool.
