If a view of the Las Vegas valley is on your must-have list, look no further than Vu, one of the most exciting, innovative and beautiful luxury neighborhoods in Southern Nevada now open and actively selling at MacDonald Highlands, a 1,200-acre hillside enclave.
Four distinctively unique, modern, and spacious floor plans, two with penthouse options, are encompassed in stunning contemporary architecture, ideal for empty nesters, professionals and influencers seeking a highly desirable place to call home. every residence at Vu lives up to the name with its own million-dollar view engineered by careful land planning to ensure all 120 home sites are artfully placed to create this special community. Sight lines within Vu homes include a mix of city, golf course and the glittering Las Vegas Strip.
Developed by long-time Las Vegas luxury homebuilder, J. Christopher Stuhmer, founder and CEO of Christopher Homes, Vu is the company’s signature contemporary neighborhood that is already over one third sold-out months before it officially opened.
“Strong and early interest in Vu demonstrates the growing demand in Southern Nevada for attached luxury homes that are comparable in space to single-family homes but with low maintenance to better accommodate travel and a “lock and leave” lifestyle for a range of residents, from empty-nesters to young and successful professionals,” said Stuhmer.
“Vu offers upscale living with a modern sensibility, influenced in part by my own experiences as both a luxury homebuilder and family man turned empty-nester. These details are evident in floorplans that make the kitchen, the heart of the home, both highly beautiful and functional; significant open space for entertaining and socializing; and self-contained guest suites ideal for visiting family and friends – all topped with
jaw-dropping views.”
Vu is located near holes 12 and 13 of DragonRidge, offering world-class golf on this private 18-hole championship course designed by acclaimed golf course architects Jay Morrish and David Druzisky. Residents of Vu have special access to DragonRidge Country Club, which includes a 42,000-square-foot clubhouse that offers formal dining, two casual restaurants/grills and lounges and a spacious ballroom to accommodate special events. It also includes
a well-appointed f itness center, swimming pool, spa, and pro shop.
Vu is situated behind a 24-hour manned gate, high alongside the McCullough Mountain range that creates a sense of peaceful sanctuary and unrivaled privacy. Yet its location just west of the 215 Beltway offers convenient access to the Strip, McCarran International Airport, and just about anywhere in the valley.
As part of the MacDonald Highlands community, Vu residents enjoy access to three neighborhood parks with designated play areas and picnic facilities, plus tennis, basketball and volleyball courts. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate five miles of residential walking trails within the community that connect to additional and more rugged McCullough Mountain trails.
Elegant appointments in each Vu home are abundant and include high-end finishes, details and products commonly found in custom homes. Vu’s partnerships with
best-in-class brands like Kohler, Bosch, Thermador, Sub-Zero and Wolff outfit each home with top-shelf appliances and fixtures with special focus on gourmet kitchens that are as gorgeous as they are functional. Stunning modern art that is available for purchase graces the walls of Vu’s model homes via an especially unique partnership with Elena Bulatova Gallery at City Center. And a partnership with RH outfits each model with contemporary and museum-quality décor, lighting, and mirrors.
