Ascaya Unveils Canyon Residences: Luxury Lock-and-Leave Living
Ascaya, the prestigious guard-gated community high above Las Vegas, is expanding its exclusive offerings with the debut of The Canyon Residences. This new collection introduces horizontal condominiums designed for a luxurious yet low-maintenance lifestyle, with model homes now open for private tours and first move-ins scheduled for December 2025. Prices for these architecturally distinct homes start under $3 million, offering a unique opportunity for discerning local buyers.
Experience Elevated Desert Living in Henderson
Nestled within a natural landform carved into the McCullough Range, The Canyon Residences offer a distinct take on luxury living. Unlike traditional stacked condominiums, these homes are arranged horizontally across canyon terraces, providing the volume and privacy of a custom home with the convenience of condominium ownership. This innovative approach allows residents to enjoy premium amenities and stunning views without the upkeep of a large, standalone property.
Masterful Design by Blue Heron
Designed and built by the renowned Las Vegas-based firm Blue Heron, The Canyon Residences showcase a cohesive desert modern aesthetic. Expect material simplicity, strong horizontal lines, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Blue Heron Atelier, the firm’s interiors studio, ensures continuity in design, from the overall architecture to the final furnishings, creating spaces where daylight, shadow, and texture define the atmosphere. Key architectural elements like deep overhangs for solar shading, natural stone façades, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass underscore the focus on integrated desert living.
Home Typologies: Views, Villas, and Gardens
The collection features single-level homes ranging from approximately 3,300 to 4,400 square feet, offering three- and four-bedroom layouts. Each residence includes private direct-entry garages, eliminating shared corridors and elevators.
- Penthouse Residences: Situated at the highest elevations, these homes boast the broadest views across the Las Vegas Valley and toward the iconic Strip.
- Villa Residences: These standalone structures function as single-family homes, positioned along canyon-facing terraces with expansive outdoor rooms that emphasize privacy and a strong connection to the landscape.
- Garden Residences: Located just below the Penthouse level, these homes are designed around walled courtyards and landscaped outdoor lounges, offering tranquility and natural wind protection.
All residences offer flexible layouts, including dual primary suites, making them ideal for multigenerational living, families, empty-nesters, and those who frequently entertain guests.
Who is The Canyon Residences For?
Demand for these unique properties is strong, appealing to several key buyer profiles:
Las Vegas Homeowners: Many locals are looking to transition from large, maintenance-heavy estates to a more manageable home without sacrificing space, privacy, or architectural quality.
Out-of-State Buyers: Individuals and families migrating to Las Vegas or seeking a convenient lock-and-leave second residence will find The Canyon Residences particularly appealing.
Current Ascaya Homeowners: Some existing residents are choosing to live in The Canyon Residences during the design and construction phase of their custom homes, valuing the interim luxury and convenience.
