MacDonald Highlands, a luxury community covering 1,200 acres of hillside in the McCullough Mountains, offers four special features: beautiful homes, stunning panoramas, close proximity to McCarran International Airport, and DragonRidge Country Club, designed by Jay Morrish and David Druzisky.

Now, in an attempt to satisfy the quest for more square footage in the high-end housing arena, MacDonald Highlands is upping the ante in the luxury home market with Stone Mountain Ridge, a neighborhood featuring nine exclusive “compound lots.” Each pristine home site will be graded with buildable acreages ranging from one to three acre-size parcels.

“Stone Mountain Ridge was created when we noticed an increase of buyers purchasing multiple sites for one large estate,” said Rich MacDonald, developer of MacDonald Highlands.  “We took one entire ridgeline and shaped nine large parcels with elevation changes of over 260 vertical feet; the views are astonishing.”

MacDonald Highlands has two separate entrances featuring granite cobblestones, Canary Island palm trees, colorful drought-resistant plantings, and rock formations. Hidden beyond its massive gates and abundant landscaping, is 1,200 acres of mountainous terrain. It is here, nestled in the mountainsides with elevations reaching 2,700 feet, that buyers are discovering the secrets of this hidden development, namely stunning, panoramic views of the Las Vegas valley and The Strip and access to DragonRidge Country Club.

DragonRidge, considered the heart of the development by many, is the private golf course within MacDonald Highlands. The 18-hole championship course was placed back into the canyons, among rock outcroppings and arroyos utilizing dramatic elevation changes, which offer views from every hole.  And with the clubhouse and new ballroom, DragonRidge has become the social hub of the community.

Sequestered behind privacy gates and reachable only from its own private drive, Stone Mountain Ridge offers a sense of serene seclusion, luxury and commanding views.
