KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Summit Club pairs just 146 invitation-only homesites on 555 acres in Summerlin with a Tom Fazio championship course and Discovery Land Company resort amenities — estates priced $5M–$30M+ according to Las Vegas REALTORS and community plan records, against Red Rock Canyon views and the Summerlin master plan per Howard Hughes Corporation. Five takeaways capture the essential picture.
Last updated September 2026 · Sources: LVR, U.S. Census, Howard Hughes Corporation
The Summit Club holds only 146 homesites on 555 acres — turnover is structurally rare and active listings surface quietly rather than through standard MLS portals. The live search below shows current ZIP-89135 Summerlin inventory per Las Vegas REALTORS; for off-market Summit Club opportunities, contact our team directly — represented buyers hear first.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
All 146 Summit Club homesites price above $3M for vacant lots and $5M+ for finished estates per the community plan record. The ZIP-89135 Summerlin corridor provides broader market context per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data; The Summit Club itself is a separate tier that rarely surfaces in standard MLS search.
The Summit Club's 146 homesites break into six enclave positions — ridge, fairway, canyon, clubhouse-adjacent, desert contemporary, and entry estates — each with distinct pricing and lifestyle character. Live Summerlin search results from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data appear below; for off-market Summit Club opportunities, contact our team directly.
Six enclave positions define The Summit Club's 555 acres. Dedicated enclave pages are rolling out — each card below links to the most relevant search or hub. Position counts reflect plan-record homesite classifications, not live MLS inventory.

Custom alerts by position, price, and construction stage — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. With only 146 homesites and single-digit annual turnover, the right Summit Club estate may surface once in a season or once in a year; alert subscribers and represented buyers hear about it before it reaches the portal — if it ever does.
Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

CRIME DATA
Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.
The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Living at The Summit Club means morning rounds on a Tom Fazio fairway, a resort pool serviced by Discovery Land Company staff, and Red Rock Canyon ten minutes from your gate. Inside Summerlin per Howard Hughes Corporation, residents enjoy ultra-private enclave living with Downtown Summerlin shops and dining five minutes away.
The Summit Club is known for being Las Vegas's most exclusive private residential community — 146 custom estates on 555 acres with a Tom Fazio championship course, Discovery Land Company resort amenities, and invitation-only membership. It is the apex of the Las Vegas luxury market by price, privacy, and prestige.
Ultra-high-net-worth buyers who want world-class private golf, complete privacy, and resort amenities as a daily standard — typically founders, executives, athletes, entertainers, and capital allocators whose income is portable and whose lifestyle demands the best. California relocators looking to maximize the Nevada tax advantage at the highest income tier find The Summit Club the most compelling single address.
Morning rounds on the Tom Fazio course, lunch at the full-service clubhouse restaurant, afternoons at the resort pool or fitness center, and evenings twenty minutes from the Strip's world-class dining, entertainment, and nightlife — all behind a 24/7 staffed gate with zero through-traffic and complete privacy.
The Summit Club sits on the western rim of Summerlin in ZIP code 89135 along the Red Rock Canyon foothills — roughly 20 miles from the Strip and 5 miles from Downtown Summerlin's shops and dining. The community's 555 acres occupy one of the most dramatic natural settings in the Las Vegas Valley, with unobstructed views of Red Rock Canyon, the Spring Mountains, and the city.
Quick Answer
Yes — if total privacy, world-class golf, and Discovery Land Company's resort lifestyle standard are what you're buying. The Summit Club pairs 146 custom estates on 555 canyon-rim acres with a Tom Fazio championship course, invitation-only membership, and the most private address in Las Vegas. The trade-offs are entry price ($5M–$30M+), membership dues on top of $2,000–$5,000+/mo HOA, and an invitation-only process that shapes the timeline. For the buyer it suits, no community in the Las Vegas Valley competes.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — which contains The Summit Club — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside the gates, the profile is entirely different: community records show roughly 300 residents across 120 households, a median age of 55, and average household income above $1,000,000.
The Census does not tabulate The Summit Club as its own place, so citywide figures provide the broad statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the gates, our market data shows founders, C-suite executives, athletes, entertainers, and top-tier capital allocators. California relocators are heavily represented: the tax math at this income level is too compelling to ignore.

POPULATION & GROWTH
The Summit Club is deliberately finished and low-density by design — 146 homesites that will never grow. Its parent community, Summerlin, continues to expand its western villages under the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan, and Las Vegas city has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, driving continued demand for the limited ultra-luxury supply The Summit Club represents.
Inside the gates, growth is permanently capped: 146 homesites is the plan, and Discovery Land Company has not and will not add more on these 555 acres. The valley around it keeps compounding — more residents, more demand, and no new supply at this quality tier anywhere in the market. That is the structural scarcity case for ownership at The Summit Club.

MARKET TRENDS · LAST 12 MONTHS
The charts below show Las Vegas citywide sold medians from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — context for Summerlin's ultra-luxury tier. The Summit Club trades in single digits annually; enclave-level medians are not meaningful at 146 homes. What matters: zero new supply, Discovery Land Company brand stability, and ZIP-89135 outperforming the citywide median.

ULTRA-RARE INVENTORY
Market Competitiveness
The Summit Club is the definition of a seller's market by scarcity: 146 total homesites, invitation-only membership, and annual turnover in the single digits means qualified buyers wait rather than compete. The competitiveness score of 30 reflects the buyer's challenge — not the community's desirability — because finding available inventory here requires relationships and patience, not speed.
The Summit Club is not for every luxury buyer — it's for the buyer who demands world-class private golf, Discovery Land Company resort amenities, complete privacy on 555 acres, and a 146-homesite permanent scarcity asset. Six profiles below identify who consistently finds it the right answer, plus honest trade-offs.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Open houses do not exist at The Summit Club — a community with invitation-only membership, a 24/7 staffed gate, and 146 homesites doesn't hold weekend public events. Qualified buyers tour by appointment only, coordinated through the gate with agent representation. Contact our team to discuss positioning and arrange a private showing.
Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.
Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.

Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.
ECONOMY & JOBS
The Summit Club is not tied to any employer — residents are founders, executives, athletes, and capital allocators whose income is portable by design. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Las Vegas metro employment remains strong, and community records put average household income above $1,000,000 — roughly 13 times the Clark County median.

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
The Summit Club's Summerlin location delivers a compelling paradox: complete isolation inside the gate and fast access everywhere outside it. Summerlin Parkway and West Charleston Boulevard feed every direction, and mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — residents here beat that benchmark to every Summerlin destination.

Quick Answer
Most Summit Club closings run 45–60 days financed through private banking or 14–21 days all-cash. Membership approval runs in parallel with escrow — initiate it at offer acceptance. Nevada closes through escrow companies; the title chain is typically clean, but budget time for architectural-review sign-off if the transaction involves pending construction.
Quick Answer
Most Summit Club transactions are all-cash or financed through private banking relationships. At $5M–$30M+, conventional conforming or jumbo products rarely match the structure these purchases require. Private banks lend against a buyer's broader portfolio, and terms are individually negotiated. If you are financing, establish the relationship with your private banker before approaching the market — not after. Typical private-banking structures run 20–30% down with asset management requirements.
The Summit Club FAQ — 18 Answers
Finished homes at The Summit Club run from about $5 million to over $30 million, while vacant homesites start around $3 million. Lot sizes range from one-third of an acre to over two acres across 146 homesites. Membership precedes purchase — the community is invitation-only, so start the club conversation before the listing search.
No. The Summit Club is invitation-only, developed by Discovery Land Company, with initiation fees among the highest of any private club in the country. There is no public access to the community, course, or clubhouse. Serious buyers typically arrive through referral and representation; our team can advise qualified candidates on how to approach the membership process discreetly.
Tom Fazio, widely regarded as one of America's premier golf course architects, designed The Summit Club's 18-hole championship course. It plays through natural desert terrain with dramatic elevation changes and unobstructed views of Red Rock Canyon, the Spring Mountains, and the Las Vegas Strip. Consistent with the club's private structure, the course is reserved for members and their guests.
Just 146 homesites occupy The Summit Club's 555 acres, one of the smallest and most exclusive lot counts of any luxury community in Las Vegas. That ultra-low density means maximum privacy and space between estates. It also means inventory is structurally scarce: opportunities surface rarely and quietly, so positioned buyers with representation tend to hear about them first.
The Summit Club's clubhouse complex includes a full-service fine-dining restaurant, a resort-style pool with cabana village, a fitness and wellness center, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a children's activity center, and personalized concierge services. It is the Discovery Land Company hospitality model — the same firm behind Yellowstone Club and Kukio — applied to Las Vegas. Amenity access follows membership.
The Summit Club is in ZIP code 89135, inside Summerlin on the western rim of the Las Vegas Valley. Downtown Summerlin shops and dining sit about five minutes away, Red Rock Canyon ten, the Strip twenty, and Harry Reid Airport roughly thirty via I-215. Home prices run $5 million to $30 million-plus, making this Summerlin's most exclusive address by a wide margin.
Discovery Land Company developed The Summit Club, the firm behind the world's most exclusive private residential communities, including Yellowstone Club in Montana, Kukio in Hawaii, and Baker's Bay in the Bahamas. Launched in 2017 on 555 acres within Summerlin, The Summit Club brings that service and design standard to Las Vegas. The developer pedigree is central to the community's long-term value thesis.
HOA fees at The Summit Club run approximately $2,000 to $5,000-plus per month, covering security, common-area maintenance, and community infrastructure. Club membership dues are separate and significantly higher, on top of invitation-only initiation fees. Model the full annual carrying cost — including Nevada's comparatively modest property taxes under the 3% primary-residence cap — before engaging in the process.
Entry is tightly controlled: residents use transponders or access codes, guests must be called in or pre-approved by the homeowner, and vendors follow the community's access policy. The gate is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with security and privacy standards that rival any residential community in the world. Expect verification on every unscheduled arrival.
Access is possible but tightly managed. Showings require a licensed agent coordinating entry with the guard gate in advance, and the community's invitation-only membership structure shapes who tours. Nevada Real Estate Group arranges gate access for qualified buyers and can frame the membership pathway first. Call (702) 637-1759 to discuss positioning before requesting a tour.
The Summit Club operates a 24-hour staffed gate with controlled vehicle access, security patrols, and perimeter walls, and its overall privacy posture rivals any residential community in the world. Like most guard-gated enclaves, expect surveillance at entry points and coordinated emergency response. Specific protocols are shared with members and owners rather than published.
Yes, custom construction is the core model at The Summit Club. Homesites from one-third of an acre to over two acres start around $3 million, with homes built by approved builders including Shapiro & Sher and Sun West Custom Homes in a desert-contemporary palette of stone, glass, and steel. We help qualified buyers evaluate available sites and builder fit.
Ultra-luxury property in private communities like The Summit Club has historically outperformed the broader market in both downturn resilience and growth-cycle appreciation. With only 146 homesites, invitation-only membership, and Discovery Land Company's brand behind it, supply is permanently constrained, creating structural price support few communities match. Opportunities here reward prepared, represented buyers more than perfectly timed ones.
Nevada has no state income tax — versus California's top rate of 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board. A household earning $2 million annually saves roughly $266,000 per year in state income taxes alone by establishing Nevada residency. Pair that with a property-tax annual increase cap of 3% on a primary residence under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, and the carrying-cost advantage over a comparable California estate is substantial.
Four things move real money here. First, membership: buying a home requires club membership, so start the invitation process before the listing search. Second, builder approval: construction must use approved builders and conform to architectural standards. Third, financing: $5M–$30M+ purchases almost always go private bank or all-cash. Fourth, representation: with 146 homes and rare turnover, you need an agent who moves in this tier. Call (702) 637-1759 and we will navigate the process.
Most Summit Club transactions are all-cash or financed through private banking relationships. At $5M–$30M+, conventional conforming or jumbo products rarely match the structure these purchases require. Private banks (typically wealth-management arms of major institutions) lend against a buyer's broader portfolio, and terms are individually negotiated. If you are financing, establish the relationship with your private banker before approaching the market — not after.
Discovery Land Company communities — Yellowstone Club, Kukio, Baker's Bay, and The Summit Club — tie real estate ownership to a private membership with invitation-only access, annual dues, and a service standard comparable to a Forbes Five-Star resort. At The Summit Club, HOA fees of $2,000–$5,000+/mo cover infrastructure; membership dues cover the hospitality stack: golf, dining, fitness, concierge, and children's programming. You are buying a lifestyle address, not just a lot.
Most Summit Club closings run 45–60 days when financed through private banking and 14–21 days on all-cash. The membership approval process runs in parallel with escrow and should be initiated at or before offer acceptance. Nevada closes through escrow companies rather than attorneys; the title chain on a custom estate here is typically clean, but plan time for the association's architectural-review sign-off if the sale involves any pending construction.

These are the eight questions Summit Club buyers and researchers most often type into Google and AI assistants — each answered in two to three sentences with verifiable specifics: plan-record facts covering 146 homesites priced $5M–$30M+, Las Vegas REALTORS ZIP-89135 market data, Nevada statutes, and Discovery Land Company membership structure.
Yes — The Summit Club is located within Summerlin in ZIP code 89135, on the community's western rim along the Red Rock Canyon foothills. It is developed by Discovery Land Company in partnership with the broader Summerlin master plan by Howard Hughes Corporation, though The Summit Club operates as its own fully private, invitation-only club.
By estate price range, The Summit Club at $5M–$30M+ is the most expensive residential community in Las Vegas. The Ridges (from $2M+) and MacDonald Highlands (from $800K+) are the closest peers, but no other community in the valley carries The Summit Club's floor.
Just 146 homesites across 555 acres, per the community plan record. That is the permanent cap — Discovery Land Company will not add more homesites within this footprint. Roughly 3.8 acres per homesite on average, one of the lowest densities of any luxury community in the Las Vegas Valley.
No. The Summit Club is invitation-only with 24/7 staffed gate access — no public driving, no walk-ins, and no public MLS open houses. Qualified buyers tour by appointment with a licensed agent who arranges gate clearance. Call (702) 637-1759 to start the conversation.
Yes — an 18-hole Tom Fazio championship course plays through the community's 555 acres with dramatic desert terrain, elevation changes, and views of Red Rock Canyon, the Spring Mountains, and the Las Vegas Strip. It is reserved entirely for members and their guests — no public access, no daily-fee rounds.
89135 — Summerlin's western ZIP code and the highest-value postal code in the Las Vegas Valley. Downtown Summerlin is five minutes east, Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west, the Strip twenty minutes southeast, and Harry Reid Airport thirty minutes via I-215.
Both are Discovery Land Company private residential clubs — Yellowstone Club in Montana focuses on skiing and mountain lifestyle from $5M+; The Summit Club focuses on desert golf and resort amenities from $5M+ in Las Vegas. They share the same developer DNA, hospitality model, and invitation-only structure; many high-net-worth buyers own at both.
Discovery Land Company — the developer behind Yellowstone Club in Montana, Kukio in Hawaii, Baker's Bay in the Bahamas, and over 25 other ultra-exclusive private communities worldwide. In Las Vegas, Discovery Land Company partnered with the broader Summerlin master plan context established by Howard Hughes Corporation. Launched in 2017, The Summit Club is the newest and most exclusive address in Summerlin.
