Astra at La Madre Peaks — Luxury Homesites for Sale in Summerlin
Astra at La Madre Peaks is the crown of Summerlin — the most elite custom-homesite neighborhood Howard Hughes has developed in the master plan to date, and the first guard-gated community of its kind in Summerlin in two decades. Set into the base of the dramatic La Madre Peaks in the northwestern corner of Summerlin West, Astra sits at roughly 4,125 feet — the highest-elevated custom home community in the entire Las Vegas Valley — where cooler temperatures, native desert landscape, and panoramic views of the Strip, Red Rock Canyon, and the skyline combine into something no other address in Southern Nevada can offer.
Astra is not a subdivision of finished homes. It is a rare, limited canvas: 167 custom homesites across 171 acres, released quietly and in phases to a select group of qualified buyers, for those who intend to build a one-of-a-kind estate at the top of the valley.
An Invitation-Only Release
From the outset, Howard Hughes has chosen not to market Astra to the general public. Homesites are made available in phases to qualified buyers, and early demand has been decisive — a group of homesites recently sold for nearly $23 million combined before the community opened broadly. This measured, discreet release is by design, preserving both exclusivity and long-term value. For the right buyer, securing a homesite at this stage is a genuine opportunity; it requires the market access, relationships, and discretion that define how these transactions are handled.
Custom Homesites and Architectural Freedom
Astra’s homesites range from approximately three-quarters of an acre to more than an acre, with the option to combine parcels for even greater scale and privacy. Rather than production floor plans, Astra offers architectural freedom — the chance to commission a fully custom estate designed to its specific elevated parcel, framing the valley below and the mountains above. Pricing begins around $2 million per homesite, with the most coveted parcels exceeding $5 million per acre. This is land at the highest point in Las Vegas, and it is finite.
Planned Five-Star Amenities
Astra is planned to include a five-star private clubhouse, wellness facilities, and enhanced security behind its gates — amenities befitting the most elevated address in the valley. A private access street off Lake Mead Boulevard leads into the community, reinforcing the seclusion that defines it.
Location and Lifestyle
Astra sits in the 89138 ZIP code in Summerlin West, west of the 215 Beltway, minutes from Downtown Summerlin’s shopping, dining, and entertainment, and moments from Red Rock Canyon for hiking and cycling. It is close to top-rated private schools and the full amenity network of the Summerlin master plan, yet set apart and above it — the rare combination of convenience and genuine seclusion.
Why the Valley’s Most Discerning Buyers Choose Astra
Astra draws the most discerning buyers in the country — many relocating from California and the Pacific Northwest — who want to build a landmark custom estate at the highest, most exclusive elevation in Las Vegas, while benefiting from Nevada’s lack of state income and estate taxes. For those who value architectural freedom, scarcity, and a Howard Hughes address at the top of Summerlin, nothing else in the valley compares.
