Ascaya, the luxury housing community blasted out of the mountains, has rolled out its last batch of homesites.
The development team for the wealthy Henderson enclave has released its final 58 lots, dubbed the Cloud Rock Collection. They range from 1.6 to 6.6 acres and are priced from $2 million to $18 million apiece, according to a news release.
Overall, Ascaya is planned for more than 300 homes total, and as of early May, it had 67 completed homes, 27 under construction or in the permitting process, and 20 in architectural review, the release stated.
The newly released homesites have the highest elevation in Ascaya and are on average the largest, said development lead Sam Brown.
Work crews reportedly drilled, blasted and moved around 15 million cubic yards of material in the McCullough Range to build the community. But the project, by Hong Kong developer Henry Cheng, was a glaring symbol of Southern Nevada’s real estate boom and bust, as it sat idle for years, without any homes on its cake-layered mountainside lots, after the economy crashed more than 15 years ago.
