The Best Seat in the House – Vegas Style
SkyVu’s Hillside Location Offers an Elegant Sanctuary with Showstopping Views
Gazing high into the hills rising above the Las Vegas Valley, J. Christopher Stuhmer, CEO and visionary behind the award-winning and longtime Las Vegas luxury homebuilder, Christopher Homes, saw in his mind’s eye a mountainside enclave of luxurious homes. A community where discerning owners could find ultimate privacy and sanctuary from the hustle of the city, while simultaneously savoring an unrivaled panoramic view of the valley below - from the shimmering lights of the Las Vegas Strip to the majestic mountains of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
To realize that vision, Stuhmer assembled an award-winning design team comprised of KTGY Architects and Design Tec Interiors. Aptly named SkyVu, this hillside community is one of the most stunning and exclusive in Las Vegas and features five unique model homes ranging from 4,300 to an expansive 6,200 square feet. Built into the hillside of the McCullough Mountain range, SkyVu literally overlooks the Entertainment and Sports Capital of the World, one of the most captivating and energetic cities on the planet.
Here, SkyVu’s daytime view of the mountains and spectacular rock formations rivals the electricity of the nighttime view when the city is on full display. An ever-changing display that includes views of the Sphere, iconic resorts, and marquees.
Despite a front row seat to all that glitters on the Las Vegas Strip, SkyVu offers guard gated exclusivity to ensure the privacy and sanctuary of its residents. The community’s 102 highly customizable homes each have their own distinctive exterior to create a dynamic and eclectic street scene. Stuhmer chose a warm contemporary architectural style that is enhanced by the community’s landscaped serpentine roads carved into the mountain and complimented by stunning modern outdoor art and lighting.
The standard bearer since 1981 for crafting luxury homes that are tailor made for both living and entertaining in Las Vegas, Christopher Homes created SkyVu as an architectural marvel that wholeheartedly embraces its location and defines luxury living at the highest elevation.
To ensure that every home offers the community’s namesake view, all homes are carefully planned and sited. Multiple walls of glass are strategically placed in main living spaces, including living and dining rooms, primary bedrooms and baths, and kitchens, to accentuate the area’s vistas.
Eleven-foot-tall stacking glass doors create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living while expansive decks alongside sculptured pools offer places to escape from the noise of everyday living. Epicurean kitchens, designed as entertaining spaces as well as highly functional cooking areas with appliances hidden within sleek cabinetry and open shelves, exemplify the aesthetic sensibility of sophisticated contemporary warmth.
Rivaling those of the city’s five-star resorts, SkyVu spa-inspired baths feature steam showers, saunas, free-standing tubs, and sliding glass doors opening onto private atriums, allowing residents to relax high above the valley’s dazzling sea of lights in absolute privacy and comfort.
Located in the exclusive 24-hour guard-gated country club community of MacDonald Highlands, home to the acclaimed DragonRidge Golf Club, SkyVu luxury estates are situated on pool-sized homesites with prices ranging from $3 million to over $5 million. Each home offers a wealth of available upgrades and floorplan customizations to create a highly personalized style, both inside and out.
