Gated Community · MacDonald Ranch, Henderson

The Foothills
at MacDonald Ranch

The Foothills is the guard-gated, members' club community on a high ridge of the MacDonald Ranch master in southeast Henderson. It is one of the ranch's four member communities and reads as the clubside neighbor to the Highlands.

The community

A gated pocket on the ridge

The Foothills places its guard gate on the upper ground of the ranch, with a members' club as the social anchor. It is smaller and more intimate than the Highlands, with the same valley approach.

Homes

The housing picture

Homes are upscale single-family and detached custom residences arranged along the ridge, many with open and valley views. The members' club, the gate and the Highlands' golf across the ravine complete the amenity map.

Living here

Clubside, but quiet

Residents trade the scale of the Highlands for intimacy: the same gates and views, a closer community, and the ranch's golf and clubs nearby. DragonRidge Country Club is private, and club membership is separate from homeownership, so it is not included with the purchase of a home. It is a sophisticated upgrade from Henderson's open master plans.

Good questions

The Foothills FAQ

Is The Foothills guard-gated?

Yes. It is a guard-gated, members' club community inside the MacDonald Ranch master in Henderson.

Is The Foothills part of the Highlands?

No. Both sit inside MacDonald Ranch, but The Foothills is a separate member community of the ranch rather than the Highlands.
