Ascaya covers 664 guard-gated acres in the McCullough Range at the south edge of Henderson, where owners build custom desert-modern homes on individual homesites around a resident-only Clubhouse. City of Henderson provides city services, and Nevada levies no personal income tax.
Custom desert-modern homes on 664 acres in the McCullough Range, with elevations reaching 3,200 feet and views toward the Strip, the valley and the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, according to Ascaya. Homes are built one at a time on individual homesites, alongside Blue Heron’s 51 Canyon Residences.
On its website on October 15, 2026, Ascaya sold The Canyon Residences (condominium homes by Blue Heron, from $2.9 million), Desert Design Study Homes (one listed at $10,825,000) and Estate and Cloud Rock homesites (from $1 million and $2 million). Owners also resell homes and lots on the MLS.
According to Ascaya: a 23,000-square-foot Clubhouse with private dining and a fitness center, a 50-meter zero-edge pool, a tennis and pickleball pavilion, a two-acre park with a dog park, and more than two miles of private trails, all for residents only. Homesite owners get access from the day they buy.
Ascaya sits in the McCullough Range at the south edge of Henderson (ZIP 89012), at One Ascaya Boulevard, and borders the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. Ascaya gives its size as 664 acres with elevations reaching 3,200 feet. Drive times are our route estimates from the gate area without traffic.
Quick Answer
Four: a Canyon Residence (Blue Heron condominium homes, from $2.9 million), a Desert Design Study Home (one listed at $10,825,000), a developer homesite (Estate from $1 million, Cloud Rock from $2 million), or a resale home or lot on the MLS. In the 12 months to September 15, 2026, 24 Ascaya homes closed at a $2,625,000 median. Ascaya does not publish its HOA dues, so get them in writing before you write an offer.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Ascaya adds homes as owners build: its first-quarter 2026 report listed 92 completed homes, 31 under construction and 32 in architectural review. Its parent city, Henderson, grew from 257,729 residents in 2010 to an estimated 353,289 in 2025, per U.S. Census counts and estimates.
Ascaya’s lots went on sale in October 2014, after the developer held the project back for about six years following the economic downturn, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported at the time. Ascaya is still selling homesites, and it describes its remaining Cloud Rock homesites as the last opportunity to build at that elevation.

Median sold price, days on market and monthly sales across ZIP 89012, September 2025 through August 2026 (the latest settled month), from NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. The ZIP is mostly Henderson neighborhoods below the ridge, so these series describe the ZIP; Ascaya itself had 24 home closings in the 12 months to September 15, 2026. September and October 2025 are under-reported in the MLS feed (23 and 29 sales, against 48 and 57 a year earlier), so their medians rest on thin samples.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
Ascaya says the community is reached via I-215 and I-15. Henderson workers averaged a 24.3-minute commute per U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024 data. The drive times below are our route estimates from the Ascaya gate area without traffic, October 15, 2026; rush-hour traffic adds time.
Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.
Quick Answer
The purchase contract sets the closing date, and Nevada purchases close through an escrow company. A cash purchase can close sooner than a financed one because there is no loan approval or appraisal condition to clear. Building is the long part: Ascaya puts a custom home at 18 to 24 months from construction start to move-in, with design and Architectural Review Committee time before that.
Quick Answer
Any loan above the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750 (FHFA) is a jumbo loan, and each jumbo lender sets its own down payment and reserve rules, so get the terms in writing. At 20% down, Ascaya’s $2,625,000 median home closing in the 12 months to September 15, 2026 would need $525,000. A homesite purchase needs cash or a lot loan, and a custom build adds construction financing. Have proof of funds or a pre-approval ready before you tour.
Ascaya FAQ — 18 Answers
In our September 19, 2026 pull of Las Vegas MLS data, 24 Ascaya homes closed in the 12 months to September 15, 2026, at a $2,625,000 median and about $1,154 per square foot; the top sale was $17,250,000. On its website on October 15, 2026, Ascaya priced The Canyon Residences from $2.9 million and listed its one available Desert Design Study Home at $10,825,000. ZIP 89012's active median list price, about $799,999, mostly reflects homes outside the gate.
Ascaya prices Estate homesites, about half an acre to over two acres, from $1 million. Its homesites page lists 58 Cloud Rock homesites of 1.6 to 3.43 acres at $2 million to $8 million; its FAQ gives 1.6 to 6.64 acres and $2 million to $18 million. In our MLS pull, 34 Ascaya lot sales closed from October 15, 2024 to October 14, 2026 at a $1,547,500 median, and 21 homesites were listed on October 15, 2026 at $1,149,999 to $7,499,000.
Rarely, lately. Of the 34 Ascaya lot sales that closed from October 15, 2024 to October 14, 2026, 33 sold below their last list price, according to our pull of Las Vegas MLS data through Repliers. Ascaya's samples are too small for a reliable days-on-market figure; across ZIP 89012 the median was about 39 days in our latest read, mostly for homes outside the gate.
Yes. Ascaya describes 24-hour guard-gated entry, and its amenities are for residents only, with no outside memberships. Arrange entry before you visit: Ascaya’s Getting Here page says the gate admits pre-registered ride-share guests through ID verification. We can set up a private showing of any Ascaya listing; call (702) 637-1759.
Blue Heron designed and built The Canyon Residences, 51 single-level condominium homes on seven terraces. Ascaya says its Desert Design Study Homes come from architects and builders it partners with, and Sun West Custom Homes says its 2019, 2020, 2024 and 2025 New American Homes stand in Ascaya. On a homesite you choose your own architect and builder, and every design needs Ascaya’s Architectural Review Committee approval.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported 313 home sites when lots went on sale in October 2014. Ascaya’s first-quarter 2026 report counted 92 completed homes, 31 under construction and 32 in architectural review. The Canyon Residences add 51 condominium homes, and Ascaya says its Cloud Rock Collection has 58 homesites at the highest elevations.
According to Ascaya, a 23,000-square-foot Clubhouse with private dining and a fitness center, a 50-meter zero-edge pool with Olympic lap lanes and private cabanas, a tennis and pickleball pavilion, a two-acre park with a splash pad and a dog park, and more than two miles of private trails, all for residents only. Homesite owners get access from the day they buy. There is no golf course; DragonRidge Country Club next door is a separate private club.
Ascaya does not publish its assessment. In our October 15, 2026 MLS pull, agents’ association-fee entries on Ascaya lots mostly read $900 on 2024 listings, $1,000 on 2025 listings and $1,200 on 2026 listings, with no billing frequency. Get the amount in writing: on a resale, NRS 116.4109 requires the resale package to state the assessment; on a developer sale, ask for the public offering statement.
The Ascaya parcels we checked sit in Clark County tax district 500, Henderson City, whose fiscal 2026-27 rate is $2.9613 per $100 of assessed value, according to the Clark County Treasurer. Assessed value is 35% of taxable value. A primary residence gets a 3% cap on annual increases once the owner claims it (NRS 361.4723); until then a higher general cap applies. Pull the parcel’s actual bill before you budget.
We checked seven Ascaya parcels against the Clark County School District’s 2026-27 zoning data on October 15, 2026. All seven were zoned for Hannah Marie Brown Elementary School, Bob Miller Middle School and Foothill High School. Boundaries are reviewed every year, so confirm the assignment for your exact address with CCSD’s zoning search; charter, magnet and private schools set their own admission rules.
By our route estimates from the gate area, without traffic: about 14 miles and 21 minutes to the Strip at Flamingo Road, 11 miles and 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport, 7 miles and 15 minutes to Henderson Executive Airport, and under 3 miles to The District at Green Valley Ranch. Ascaya’s own figures are 20 minutes to the Strip and 15 to Harry Reid.
They are separate guard-gated communities next to each other in the McCullough Range. MacDonald Highlands covers 1,320 acres around the private DragonRidge Country Club, whose course was designed by Jay Morrish and David Druzisky, and publishes $330 monthly dues and its design guidelines. Ascaya covers 664 acres, has no golf, and publishes neither. Lot sales from October 2024 to October 2026 had medians of $1,887,500 in MacDonald Highlands and $1,547,500 in Ascaya.
No. Ascaya’s FAQ says it imposes no homesite building timeline and no resale penalties. When you do build, Ascaya puts a typical custom home at 18 to 24 months from construction start to move-in, with design and Architectural Review Committee time before that.
Resales give a few clues. 3 Heavens Edge Court sold for $14,250,000 in May 2023 and $17,250,000 in August 2026, about 21% more, according to our MLS pull. On lots, the Review-Journal reported half-acre homesites at about $1 million each at the 2014 launch; in 2026 Ascaya still prices Estate homesites from $1 million, and some lot sales closed at $900,000. Samples are small, so value each property on its own comparable sales.
Start with buildable area, not acreage: on October 15, 2026 Ascaya’s ten featured homesites showed 12,667 to 32,713 buildable square feet, 17% to 62% of each lot. MLS acreage on Cloud Rock lots has understated parcel size, so compare the City of Henderson parcel map. Ascaya says views are not guaranteed, so check height limits on the lots below. Ask for the design guidelines, fees and review times, and where the sewer and water connections are.
Any loan above the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750 (FHFA) is a jumbo loan, and each jumbo lender sets its own down payment and reserve rules, so get the terms in writing. At 20% down, Ascaya’s $2,625,000 median home closing in the 12 months to September 15, 2026 would need $525,000. A homesite purchase needs cash or a lot loan, and a custom build adds construction financing. Have proof of funds or a pre-approval ready before you tour.
Ascaya does not publish its assessment. In our October 15, 2026 MLS pull, agents’ entries on Ascaya lots mostly read $900 to $1,200 depending on the listing year, with no billing frequency, and one 2026 listing said the dues include a $200 food-and-beverage credit. Treat those as agents’ figures: get the amount, frequency, reserves and any assessments from the resale package or, on a developer sale, the public offering statement.
The purchase contract sets the closing date, and Nevada purchases close through an escrow company. A cash purchase can close sooner than a financed one because there is no loan approval or appraisal condition to clear. Building is the long part: Ascaya puts a custom home at 18 to 24 months from construction start to move-in, with design and Architectural Review Committee time before that.

Short answers to common questions about Ascaya, with sources: sales figures from NREG’s MLS analysis of Las Vegas MLS data, community facts from Ascaya’s website, and history from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
In the McCullough Range at the south edge of Henderson, ZIP 89012, at One Ascaya Boulevard. Ascaya says it covers 664 acres with elevations reaching 3,200 feet, and it borders the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area.
When lots went on sale in October 2014, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the land was privately held by the family of Dr. Henry Cheng, which controls Hong Kong-based New World Development, and that about $300 million had gone into improvements after the project was held back for about six years following the downturn.
No. They are separate guard-gated communities next to each other. MacDonald Highlands covers 1,320 acres around the private DragonRidge Country Club, whose course was designed by Jay Morrish and David Druzisky; Ascaya covers 664 acres and has no golf course.
No. Ascaya’s amenities are a resident-only Clubhouse, a 50-meter pool, a tennis and pickleball pavilion, a two-acre park and private trails. The nearest club golf is DragonRidge Country Club in MacDonald Highlands, a private club with membership separate from owning a home.
Yes. Ascaya prices Estate homesites from $1 million and Cloud Rock homesites from $2 million, and owners resell lots on the MLS: 21 Ascaya homesites were listed on October 15, 2026 at $1,149,999 to $7,499,000.
The top home closing in the 12 months to September 15, 2026 was $17,250,000, for 3 Heavens Edge Court in August 2026. In the first quarter of 2026 a single buyer paid $38.75 million for four Cloud Rock homesites, which Ascaya calls the largest homesite purchase recorded in Las Vegas.
From many lots, yes: Ascaya says its homesites are positioned for views of the Strip, the mountains or the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. It also says views are not guaranteed, so check the height limits on the lots below before you pay for a view.
ZIP 89012, shared with Henderson neighborhoods below the ridge. That is why the ZIP’s active median list price, about $799,999 in October 2026, sits far below Ascaya’s own $2,625,000 median home closing.

Pages were read on October 15, 2026, in a browser. Two notes: ZIP 89012 figures mostly describe Henderson neighborhoods outside the gate, so we label them ZIP-area numbers, and Ascaya’s own sales samples are small. MLS figures are NREG pulls of Las Vegas MLS data through Repliers, not official Las Vegas REALTORS statistics.
Methodology: Listing counts, prices and days on market are NREG's analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data received through the Repliers feed; this page refreshes them about once a day, and each market figure carries its date or window. Census and BLS figures are the published vintage named beside them and change only when the agency releases new estimates. Confirm details for a specific home with its listing and the responsible agency.
