About McDonald Highlands
MacDonald Highlands stands as one of Henderson’s most prestigious luxury real estate communities, sprawling across approximately 1,320 acres of dramatic mountainside terrain overlooking the Las Vegas Valley and Strip. This 24-hour guard-gated enclave was master-planned to balance natural beauty with upscale living, preserving expansive open space while offering world-class amenities and architectural distinction. The community is structured into roughly 16 distinct custom home neighborhoods and luxury pockets, each offering elevated views, generous estate lots, and seamless indoor-outdoor living opportunities that take full advantage of the foothills setting.
At the heart of the neighborhood lies the renowned DragonRidge Country Club, a private championship golf club that’s both the social and recreational nucleus for residents. The 18-hole, par-72 course weaves through the community’s rugged ridges and varied elevation changes, providing equally dramatic fairways and panoramic views of the Strip, mountains, and valley below. Club amenities go far beyond golf and include a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, swimming facilities, and active social programming that make MacDonald Highlands feel like a resort destination every day.
Homes within MacDonald Highlands range from contemporary hillside residences to sprawling custom estates with private terraces, infinity pools, and sweeping vistas. Architecture throughout the community emphasizes luxury finishes, thoughtful design, and a connection to the desert landscape. With its elevated topography, unmatched views, private club experience, and easy access to Henderson’s dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation, MacDonald Highlands continues to attract discerning buyers seeking an elite address in the Las Vegas Valley.
