A buyer has shelled out $16.13 million for what is essentially a high-end blank slate at 3 Climbing Canyon Drive in Henderson, locking in a hillside homesite and the adjoining lot with plans to merge them into a single estate. The proposed desert-contemporary residence is slated at about 15,000 square feet and is set to feature a secluded primary wing, a six-car garage and a lineup of amenity spaces that includes a gym, media room and pool house. Growth Luxury Homes is expected to build the residence under a plan that the buyer can customize.
As reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the contract, listed at $16,133,950, was recorded June 18 and handled by Jude Nassar of Growth Luxury Realty. Nassar told the paper that the buyer also purchased the neighboring parcel at 4 Climbing Canyon Drive and plans to combine the lots. He added that buyers can fully customize the build and that price per square foot on similar hilltop projects in the area can range from $500 to $2,000.
What the listing includes
According to Douglas Elliman, the current plan calls for four bedrooms and six bathrooms, along with a serene interior garden, an office, a gym, a media room and a pool house within roughly 15,000 square feet. The brokerage's listing also highlights a six-car garage and other high-end finishes in the desert-contemporary design, setting the stage for a seriously upscale compound once construction wraps.
Climbing Canyon and the builder
Climbing Canyon is marketed by Growth Luxury Homes as a boutique enclave of oversized, guard-gated lots perched above MacDonald Ranch with sweeping valley and Strip views, according to the builder's community profile on NewHomeSource. The marketing pitch leans into privacy, half-acre-plus sites and proximity to golf clubs and The District at Green Valley Ranch, positioning the community as a quiet perch above the action rather than in the middle of it.
Why the sale matters
The buyer's decision to combine neighboring lots fits into a broader trend of pre-construction purchases for premium hilltop homes in Henderson, where clients increasingly want larger estates stitched together from multiple parcels. Comparable listings in the enclave have generally ranged from about $8 million to beyond $16 million. As the Las Vegas Review-Journal notes, the finished residence is expected to sit among Henderson's top luxury builds and compete with recent high-end sales across MacDonald Ranch and nearby neighborhoods.
