Arts & Architecture magazine had its renowned Case Study Houses, and now an exclusive community near Las Vegas has created its own innovative residential study program with a desert twist, bringing in noted architects and builders to create sleek modern showpieces that seamlessly blend into the natural Mojave landscape.
The latest offering to emerge in the guard-gated Ascaya enclave in the suburb of Henderson, just 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip at 11 Chisel Crest Court, is a midcentury-inspired abode that just hit the market for $11.6 million with Kylie Lum of Redeavor Sales.
The kitchen’s sprawling waterfall-edge island comes with seating for five alongside storage cubbies.

Set on a gated corner parcel spanning almost an acre, the Studio G Architecture-designed structure was completed this year. Roughly 7,600-plus square feet of cantilevered living space on two levels are serviced by a Crestron automation system and boast wide-plank European oak floors paired with Taj Mahal Quartzite and marble finishes. Minimalist 11-foot-tall Styline windows frame picturesque views sweeping from the valley to the Vegas skyline and mountains beyond.
The living room is anchored by a mod floating fireplace that hangs from the ceiling, the dining area sits adjacent to a glass-encased wine display, and the gourmet kitchen comes with an expansive eat-in island, Pitt and Miele appliances, plus a secondary prep kitchen. Five bedrooms include the secluded primary suite, flaunting a private balcony, a custom closet, and a massive limestone-clad bath. A commercial-grade elevator descends to the bottom floor, which has an entertainment lounge and a casita.
A lap pool with a Baja shelf and spa sits alongside an alfresco entertaining area.

Owners also have access to Ascaya’s lengthy roster of amenities, which includes a 23,000-square-foot clubhouse, a resort-style pool, fitness and yoga studios, tennis and pickleball courts, a family park, and scenic hiking trails.
