Framed by the dramatic rise of the La Madre peaks in the northwestern corner of the Summerlin master-planned community, Astra sits on elevated topography west of the 215 Beltway, offering panoramic views from one of the highest points overlooking the Las Vegas Valley.
Considered Summerlin’s most distinctive custom home enclave to date, Astra’s higher elevation does more than shape its views, it offers cooler temperatures and an expanded variety of native desert vegetation to create a place unlike any other in Southern Nevada, according to Jose Bustamante, president, Nevada Region, Howard Hughes Communities.
Astra offers a rare variety of 167 homesite sizes and configurations, each thoughtfully shaped to embrace the natural contours of their settings and deliberately mapped to avoid repetition and create diverse orientations, creating a community of distinction while catering to the individuality of each custom home.
“Astra’s variety of homesites ensures its landscape remains visually dynamic, rich with architectural depth,” Bustamante said. “Astra has been in the planning stages for years to ensure it unfolds and delivers a stunningly beautiful neighborhood that matches the surrounding rare environment.”
Nestled along protected conservation land, Astra exists in exquisite proximity to the La Madre peaks and nearby Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area — both serving as backdrop and muse. Astra residents will enjoy the peace and privacy that comes with living in a guard-gated neighborhood, that while seemingly removed from the world, is minutes from Downtown Summerlin, the Las Vegas Strip, and just about anywhere in the valley.
According to Bustamante, Astra’s vision is illuminated through rigorous design governance that highlights architectural integrity while accommodating bespoke innovation and craftmanship.
“Astra’s design and build guidelines allow owners two years to finalize their home design and complete their home within five years, fostering a rhythm of growth that results in a beautiful neighborhood of custom homes where memories are made, and a true sense of connection takes root.”
