Have you heard of The Canyon Residences in Ascaya? No? Good—that’s why we’re calling it the best kept secret in all of Henderson! But don’t worry, I’m about to spill the beans. Whether you’re a buyer looking for luxury without the mansion maintenance, or you’re just curious about what’s new and exciting in Ascaya… today we’re diving into the most exclusive modern townhomes in one of the most prestigious gated communities in the valley. Have you ever dreamed of living in a luxury lock-and-leave home with all the perks—without the stress of maintaining a massive estate? Let me know in the comments!
Let’s talk about one of the most exciting new additions to LUXURY living in Henderson. The Canyon Residences inside Ascaya. Now, if you’re familiar with Ascaya, you already know it’s one of the most exclusive guard-gated communities in Henderson located high above the city at about 1,000 feet above the valley. The community uses the natural black rocks and desert landscaping to give the neighborhood a modern yet minimalist feel. The custom home estates are terraced into the mountain side
But not everyone wants—or needs—a sprawling 9,000-square-foot custom estate or a $10,000,000 price tag. That’s where The Canyon Residences come in. Built by the award-winning design builder Blue Heron, these homes offer a modern, low-maintenance lifestyle with all the architectural brilliance Ascaya is known for, just on a more manageable scale. These are single-level residences offer 7 different floorplans ranging from 3,400 to around 4,400 square feet, with three to four bedrooms, dual primary suites, chef’s kitchens, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Picture homes with large glass windows, expansive covered terraces, and 12-foot ceilings that bring in natural light and views of the desert landscape. The homes will include be equipped with a Crestron system for home technology, automation, and security! They’re stunning.
I had a client recently who loved Ascaya but told me, “I just don’t want a massive house.” She was looking to downsize and wanted a new construction home. When I introduced her to The Canyon Residences, her eyes lit up and she said, “This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for!”
They Canyons Residences are really unlike anything else we have in Las Vegas. Currently there are plans for just 51 homes. The homes will be built into the canyon with terraced rows. The models will be open within the next month and there will be delivery of homes ready to move in by the end of this year.
The Canyons are designed with wellness-focused lifestyle with exclusive amenities including five pools (each with an eight-person spa) and two private wellness parks featuring yoga decks, saunas, cold plunges, and meditation spaces and all steps from your door.
And don’t forget, you also get full access to Ascaya’s world-class amenities too! There is the newly redesigned 23,000 square-foot clubhouse with the best views in all of Las Vegas! The club house has full views of the Las Vegas strip and valley. You feel like you are on top of the world! The club house includes a large fitness center with top-of-the-line equipment and yoga and fitness classes, a large infinity edge pool with private cabanas, plus tennis, pickleball, and even half-court basketball. The community has two miles of walking trails winding through the desert landscape and there is even a 2-acre family park with a dog park.
One of my close friends used to be the activity director here, and she always talked about how connected the residents are. From themed dinners, weekend brunches, weekly happy hours with craft cocktails and mocktails and holiday events, there’s always something happening. Residents can book private events such as company meetings, family gatherings and even weddings here. The amenities here rival top resorts, but they’re all just for Ascaya residents.
Ascaya is a unique community as it is currently set to have less than 350 homes including the custom lots and Canyon Residence Condo’s. It is relatively a small community, especially when compared to other large guard gated neighbors like MacDonald Highlands and the Ridges more than 5 times as many homes. This provides residents with a very exclusive lifestyle tailored for those who want privacy and world class amenities! Every time I have been to the club house it is very private with only a handful of residents. You almost have use of the gym and club house to yourself! Now there are times when it is very busy with classes and social activities so you get the best of both worlds!
Let’s talk about the value of The Canyon Residences because that’s one of the most exciting parts. While exact pricing can vary depending on the model and lot, homes in The Canyon Residences currently start in the low $3 million’s. Now, that might sound like a big number, but when you compare it to entry-level custom homes in Ascaya which often start around $5 million and go well beyond $20 million it’s actually a smart way to experience the Ascaya lifestyle without the larger footprint or price tag.
The Ascaya HOA fee is $1,000 a month and the Canyon Residence HOA sub fee is expected to be around $600 a month. The HOA fees include a lot! The 24-hour guard-gated security, access to the 23,000-square-foot Clubhouse and all of the community activities, full use of the fitness center, pool, tennis and pickleball pavilion, and all the walking trails and community parks. and for The Canyon Residences specifically, the HOA will include all of the pools, spas, and wellness focused amenities. It will likely include maintenance of the common areas and some the exterior maintenance of the builders allowing for the lock-and-leave ease lifestyle. Everything is designed for convenience, peace of mind, and low upkeep.
I have clients that live in Anthem Country Club. They are in a large home that was built over 20 years ago. They don’t want to take on a project of remodeling. They are looking to simplify and downsize. They love the idea of the Canyons with new home construction and the energy efficiency, new appliances and low maintenance.
With modern architecture and smart home tech not to mention extremely limited availability with only 51 homes, these homes check a lot of boxes. And because new construction inventory in Henderson’s luxury market is so limited, this really is a rare opportunity to buy new, modern, and exclusive homes in one of the most sought-after communities in the valley.
Who These Homes Are PERFECT? They are perfect for retirees, buyers who want a wellness focus lifestyle, second-home buyers, those looking for low-maintenance lifestyle and more approachable but still in the luxury price point or even those who are waiting for their custom dream home to be built nearby. And it’s not just the homes themselves; it’s the lifestyle that the Canyons and Ascaya provides.
The Canyon Residences are really something special. I love the idea of wellness focused living. The homes are brand new, so you get to enjoy modern design, new appliances and finishes with energy efficiency, and low maintenance. With the small community there will be a real sense of community and exclusivity. My husband and I have even talked about how one of these might be a perfect fit for us.
Could you see yourself living here? Or if you’re just now realizing Henderson has these kinds of hidden gems—reach out! I’d love to show you around.
