HENDERSON, Nev., Aug. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevada's premier luxury home development,
Ascaya opens its sale center and begins accepting
reservations. Nestled atop the McCullough Range, Ascaya is a
collection of 313 luxury estate home sites carved into the desert
landscape that will boast the most affluent and opulent housing
community. Ascaya will begin accepting purchasing agreements in
early fall.
Ascaya is privately held by the Hong
Kong-based family of Dr. Henry
Cheng, a diversified infrastructure, construction and
property developer with extensive projects in Asia, Europe
and North and South America. Since
acquiring the property more than two decades ago, the group has
hired the most talented professionals and invested more than
$200 million in civil engineering,
earthwork, architecture and infrastructure work.
"Ascaya is a masterpiece in the desert, offering the ultimate
state of luxury to its elite clientele," said Daniel Heininger, President of Ascaya, Inc.
"From the breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding
mountains to the spiraling manmade estate home sites, there is
nothing else like this in the world. We are extremely proud of the
final product and we know that future homeowners will be too."
Named after the ancient Greek and Roman axe-like tool called
Ascia, Ascaya can be seen for miles as it rises nearly 1,000 feet
above the city, with iconic and spectacular landscapes carved into
the mountainside. More than one-square mile in size, the
development is a private enclave fortified by mountain rock walls
and manmade stone terrain. Home sites range in size from one-half
acre to more than six acres and are priced starting in the
$800,000s. Ascaya's Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) will work closely with homeowners, designers
and builders to maintain a consistent design element for the
community; the architecture of the custom estates will embody a
strong and dramatic design aesthetic that complements the desert
setting and surrounding homes.
Florence Shapiro and Ivan Sher of the Shapiro & Sher Group will
oversee the sales office and team at Ascaya. Shapiro and
Sher's command of the luxury market and strength within the
community makes them a natural fit to partner with Ascaya. They are
often a "go to" resource for luxury buyers and sellers, builders,
appraisers, developers, other realtors and architects. Shapiro and
Sher's reputation and results in the luxury market makes this a
powerful relationship.
Ascaya will boast a private Clubhouse for residents and their
guests, offering an array of five-star amenities plus personalized
wellness and rejuvenation services. Set to break ground in 2016,
the Clubhouse will provide a relaxed, elegant and exclusive
environment to socialize or unwind. It will feature a concierge,
events pavilion, indoor and outdoor family focused areas, fitness
center, spa, pool, tennis pavilion, creative studio for guest
entertainers and much more.
Located only nine miles south of the famed Las Vegas Strip,
Ascaya's homeowners will benefit from all the vibrant community and
cultural events that Henderson has
to offer. It is in close proximity to several public and private
schools; renowned resorts, restaurants and shopping centers;
leading medical facilities; trails and parks; outstanding
recreational areas; public and private golf courses; Henderson
Executive Airport and McCarran International Airport. In addition,
residents will enjoy the beauty and wildlife of the bordering Sloan
Canyon National Conservation Area. The peak of Ascaya overlooks the
48,000-acre stretch of desert landscape that is home to bighorn
sheep, desert tortoises and more than 300 ancient rock
petroglyphs.

9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more
