(Community No. 19) — Henderson, Nevada
MacDonald Highlands,
the summit.
Henderson's
high estate.
On the McCullough range's highest buildable slope, MacDonald Highlands is the southeast's marquee address — 1,300 guard-gated acres around DragonRidge Country Club, with the entire valley floor as the front yard.
Custom country,
above it all.
MacDonald Highlands deals in superlatives carefully earned: the valley's highest custom lots, Henderson's most exclusive gate, and DragonRidge — a Jay Morrish/David Druzisky design carved into the mountain itself. From a thousand feet up, the Strip reads like a model on a table.
This is a custom market first: architect-built contemporaries on terraced view lots, a finite release of remaining homesites, and resales that trade quietly, often before they list. Inventory measures in the dozens; the buyers are as specific as the houses.
The Scofield Group treats the Highlands as the specialty it is — lot-line view law, club membership mechanics, and build-cost realities all shape every transaction up here, and we keep all three honest.

The valley's best view
A thousand feet of elevation puts the entire skyline in every great room — the defining asset.
DragonRidge CC
Private mountain golf, tennis, and a clubhouse social calendar that anchors the community.
Custom or nothing
No production streets — architect-designed contemporaries on terraced lots, each one-off.
The staffed gate
24/7 guarded entry and patrol; privacy is the product.
Finite homesites
The remaining lot releases are the last of the slope — scarcity is structural.
Five minutes to services
The District and Green Valley sit directly below the gate.
