A mansion known as “Empire Estate” in the guard-gated, members-only community of MacDonald Highlands in Henderson has hit the market for $24.5 million.

The property, 761 Dragon Ridge Drive, spans 17,900 square feet on 1.23 acres and has a six-car garage with an infinity edge pool. It features eight rooms and 13 bathrooms on top of a swim-up bar, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven and multiple fire lounges, according to the listing.

Kristen Routh-Silberman with Douglas Elliman, the listing agent for the property, said she thinks the house is pretty close to one of a kind.

“Dragon Ridge Drive is one of the most private and extraordinary addresses in MacDonald Highlands — where just nine homes, each their own private enclave, command significant acreage on a carved mountainside high above the Las Vegas Valley,” she said in an email. “Properties on this street simply do not come to market, and The Empire Estate is exactly that kind of rare: a showstopper in every sense, and a once-in-a-generation opportunity.”

The Empire Estate in Henderson within the MacDonald Highlands is designed as a completely private resort, according to the listing. The primary suite within this house occupies its own wing with a separate office from the rest of the property, plus a wraparound balcony that faces the Strip.

There is also a private kitchenette, a spa bath, and dual custom closets for the master bedroom. The guest wing of the house holds six additional en-suite bedrooms, each of them with individual spa baths and wraparound balconies. The house also features a guest game room, which is also an arrangement that functions as a private hotel within the estate.

The entertainment infrastructure, according to the listing, features a full movie theater with a popcorn bar, a billiards game room, two indoor-outdoor bars, a glass walled wine cellar and a completely separate guest house with its own living room and kitchenette.

Inside the kitchen area is both a Wolf and Sub-Zero gourmet kitchen, a butler’s prep kitchen, a walk-in pantry and a breakfast nook with its own coffee bar.

And outside, the property has unique perks, according to the listing.

“The outdoor spaces are the estate’s final act,” it reads. “An oversized infinity-edge pool and spa with a swim-up bar looks directly over the Strip and the valley, flanked by an outdoor kitchen, a pizza oven, multiple fire lounges, and the kind of unobstructed southern Nevada night view — the grid of Las Vegas blazing beneath you, Allegiant Stadium, the mountains catching the last light — that has made this ridgeline genuinely irreplaceable in this market.”
