Boutique homebuilder Pacific Southwest Development recentlyunveiled its newest concept for luxury living. The Bluffs, an exclusive hilltop community in Southern Highlands, is now offering just 44 home sites that are carved into the Southern Nevada mountainside with unparalleled views of Las Vegas.

“These truly incredible homes will be terraced into the mountainside, allowing residents full city views from the main levels,” says Rob Evon, sales manager for Pacific Southwest Development. “The first floor is at a lower level with access to each home’s patios, courtyards and up to five- car garages.”

The Bluffs’ designs incorporate Pacific Southwest Development’s signature ‘New Millennium Home’ philosophy that designs semi-custom luxury homes with thousands of options for personalization.

“We are putting the finishing touches on three models to choose from at The Bluffs, which can be architecturally designed from 5,800 to 6,800 square feet,” Evon says. “Each home site is at least one half acre, and larger sites up to an acre are available.” Model homes at The Bluffs are scheduled to open near the end of the summer and sites are currently available for sale.

“The Bluffs was designed as an opportunity for exclusive luxury living with unprecedented views,” Evon says. “As such, there are only 44 home sites available in the neighborhood. The initial response we received when unveiling this neighborhood was overwhelmingly
positive, so we don’t expect them to last long.”

The Bluffs is located within Pacific Southwest Development’s Tuscan Cliffs community in Southern Highlands. Its homes will be secured behind a private gated entrance within the guard-gated community of Tuscan Cliffs, the builder’s existing luxury development in the area.

“Tuscan Cliffs has set the standard for semi-custom luxury homebuilding in Las Vegas,” Evon says. “There are literally thousands of ways to make a Tuscan Cliffs home personalized to the lifestyle of each resident. But instead of working for years with multiple companies, our residents have three design meetings with their personal design specialists who assist them with all of their selections, and their part of the process is complete. We manage the rest and let them enjoy their uniquely designed home.”

More than 50 architectural configurations are available among the four model homes at Tuscan Cliffs. Each offers a master suite with a separate retreat, an extensive rear patio, central courtyard and common areas designed for families who like to entertain, inside or out.

Courtyards at Tuscan Cliffs add depth to its signature indoor/outdoor living designs. “Our interior courtyards give residents a quiet sanctuary within the confines of the property and provide a nice sitting area to relax and unwind from the demands of the day,” Evon says. “We offer the ability to create water features or outdoor fireplaces in these areas, which makes them even more peaceful.

“The outdoor spaces become a more cohesive part of the home, like another living room but with a better view. It really extends the use of our outdoor features, such as our standard outdoor kitchens or fireplaces and fire pits in addition to a pool and spa.”

Every home at Tuscan Cliffs includes a standard outdoor kitchen, including a grill, refrigerator and granite countertops, that can be modified to its owner’s personal tastes. Standard amenities at Tuscan Cliffs include stone paver driveways, sand-finished stucco exteriors, stainless steel appliances, exterior stone veneer, 42-inch maple cabinets, granite countertops, 6-foot garden tubs, wood-clad Andersen windows and Kohler plumbing fixtures. Pacific Southwest also recently added stainless steel Viking appliances, wrought iron stair railings, and granite counters and vanities as standard features throughout each home at Tuscan Cliffs. All homes include outdoor kitchens and disappearing glass doors, which allow residents to link internal and external areas seamlessly.

In addition, each residence qualifies as an Energy Star home, saving owners on their heating and cooling expenses while providing quieter, more environmentally friendly homes. Base prices start in the low $1 millions.
