MacDonald Highlands

MacDonald Highlands homes for sale represent the pinnacle of luxury real estate in Henderson and one of the most exclusive residential addresses in all of Nevada. This guard-gated enclave is perched in the McCullough Range at elevations exceeding 3,000 feet, offering custom mansion estates with sweeping panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip, the surrounding mountains, and the valley stretching to the horizon in every direction. The lifestyle at MacDonald Highlands is often compared to the Hollywood Hills in Beverly Hills — the same elevated, view-driven living experience with newer construction, more privacy, better security, and Nevada’s zero state income tax advantage that saves high-net-worth households $100,000+ annually compared to California.

At the heart of the community sits DragonRidge Country Club, featuring an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jay Morrish and David Druzisky that plays through dramatic terrain with elevation changes, desert washes, and mountain backdrops on every hole. The grand clubhouse offers fine dining (the Ridge Grill Room and Onyx Bar), a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool complex, tennis courts, spa services, and an extensive member event calendar including wine dinners, holiday galas, and tournament golf. DragonRidge membership is separate from homeownership and is available to non-residents as well.

The upcoming Four Seasons Private Residences at MacDonald Highlands represents a transformative development for the community and all of Henderson: a $1.3 billion ultra-luxury project featuring two 18-story residential towers with 285 condominiums, each offering full Four Seasons hotel services — concierge, valet, housekeeping, room service, spa, and resort amenities. This project is expected to establish new price benchmarks for Henderson and attract a tier of high-net-worth buyers and international investors who previously focused exclusively on the Las Vegas Strip or Summerlin.

MacDonald Highlands has attracted celebrities, professional athletes (NFL, NBA, NHL players from the Las Vegas Raiders, Golden Knights, and Aces), high-net-worth entrepreneurs, and corporate executives from across the country, drawn by the combination of unmatched views, 24/7 guard-gated security with patrol, world-class golf, and proximity to both the Las Vegas Strip (15 minutes via I-215 and Eastern Avenue) and Harry Reid International Airport (20 minutes). Median home prices in the community exceed $4 million, with landmark sales surpassing $15 million.

MacDonald Highlands offers a range of luxury property types: custom mansion estates on 1/3 to 1+ acre lots starting around $3 million, luxury contemporary townhomes at Vu and Vu Pointe by Christopher Homes (starting in the mid $1 millions), and high-rise condominiums at Pinnacle Residences. Whether you are looking for a finished custom estate, a modern townhome, or a custom home site to build your dream residence, Daryl Hanna, ABR, RSPS can guide you through the options. Given the custom construction at this level, Daryl’s five contractors licenses and construction evaluation expertise are an essential asset — he identifies foundation, roofing, HVAC, and finish quality issues that even professional inspectors may miss. See our Luxury Home Inspection Guide.
