The ranch's luxury member
MacDonald Highlands is the flagship piece of the ranch, developed from about 2002 behind a 24-7 staffed gate with a building stock that trends custom and contemporary. It is Henderson's premier-estate community, and the ranch umbrella holds it.
DragonRidge inside the gates
DragonRidge Country Club, the private 18-hole championship course with its clubhouse on a volcanic ridge, sits at the heart of the Highlands. Custom estate lots ring the fairways, and the club is the social arm of the community.
Custom estates on a ridge
Homes blend modern and Tuscan custom architecture on lots that climb the ridge, with valley and golf views doing the pricing. It is custom construction at scale, with every residence individually designed and built.
Security, privacy and views
The 24-7 gate, the high-service character and the silhouette against the McCullough Mountains make it the primary answer for serious cash buyers in Henderson. It is Henderson's premier-estate community, and the ranch umbrella holds it.
