The Summit Club is a private residential club community in Summerlin, in the 89135 ZIP code on the west side of the valley, developed by Discovery Land Company. The club describes it as roughly 600 acres between Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the Strip, centered on a private 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course. This is not a typical gated subdivision. Discovery Land builds club communities where the club, the service and the amenities are the product, and the homes sit inside that. The housing is custom estates on individual homesites plus a set of club-built villas, cottages and clubhouse suites. There are no production-builder tracts here. It is also where the Las Vegas record was set. A Summit Club estate sold for $35 million in May 2024, the highest single-family sale in Las Vegas history at the time, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The top sale of early 2026, at $22.5 million, was here too. When buyers ask me where the top of the Las Vegas market is, the honest answer is right here. | The Summit Club at a glance

There are two ways to own here. The first is a custom estate: you buy a homesite and build with your own architect under the community's design guidelines, or you buy a finished custom home. Homesites have been reported from under a quarter acre to more than five acres, with the largest lots in the newer Summit Two phase.
The second is a club residence. The club offers a range of built product, including desert bungalows, golf cottages, several villa collections and suites at the clubhouse and in the Canyon Suites buildings. These are the lock-and-leave options, and they are not small or inexpensive. A Summit Club penthouse sold for about $21 million in January 2026.
| Home type | Character | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Custom estates | Architect-designed homes on individual homesites, often 10,000+ sq ft | Recent top sales $22.5M to $35M |
| Club villas and cottages | Club-built detached homes, roughly 3,500 to 7,000 sq ft | Ask me for current resale comps |
| Clubhouse and Canyon suites | Condominium-style residences at the club core | A penthouse sold for ~$21M (Jan 2026) |
| Homesites | Build-your-own lots, from under a quarter acre to 5+ acres | Varies by size, view and phase |
Sales figures from Las Vegas Review-Journal and Hoodline reporting (May 2024 to March 2026). Very few homes trade here each year, so every property needs its own valuation. I'll pull private and public comps for any home you're considering.
The Summit Club is built around service and privacy. The golf, the clubhouse and the outdoor program are the center of daily life, and the club handles a lot of what a homeowner would otherwise manage alone.
Tom Fazio golf course A private 18-hole championship layout with five sets of tees and a par-3 19th hole in the practice area. It has hosted a PGA Tour event, the CJ Cup. | The clubhouse The club core includes dining, a fitness center, spa, resort pool, tennis and pickleball. The clubhouse suites are part of the same complex, so owners there live on top of the amenities. |
Outdoor Pursuits The club runs an Outdoor Pursuits program built around hiking and biking trails inside the community and the Red Rock Canyon terrain just west of it. | Security and residential services Guard-gated entry with round-the-clock security and residential services. For owners who split time between homes, that's a big part of the value. |
~$22.5M Top Las Vegas-area home sale of 2026 so far, a Summit Club estate (closed Feb 2026) The recent public record looks like this: a $35 million estate sale in May 2024 that set the all-time Las Vegas record, a clubhouse penthouse at about $21 million in January 2026, and a $22.5 million estate in February 2026 that was the highest area sale of the year as of that reporting. Several listings in the $25 million to $35 million range have come to market in the last two years. Redfin's July 2026 data for its Summit neighborhood showed a median around $16.6 million, but that was based on a single sale, which tells you how thin the data is. The valley-wide existing single-family median was $475,000 in August 2026 per Las Vegas Realtors. Here, value comes down to lot, view, course position and architecture, and a lot of deals happen quietly. Talk to me before you rely on any headline number. Sales figures from Las Vegas Review-Journal, Hoodline and Redfin (July 2026). Very small sample sizes; confirm any figure with a current comp study. | HOA, in plain terms HOA dues here are well above anywhere else in Summerlin and vary by location within the community, on top of the Summerlin master association assessment. Club membership is separate from the HOA and carries its own initiation and annual dues. Get the resale package and the club's current membership terms in writing before you commit. Getting around

A small, high-value community, so each sale says a lot about the market.

~600 Acres | 260 Lots in the original plan | 18 Holes, private Tom Fazio course |
Sources: Las Vegas Review-Journal, Hoodline, GolfPass and The Summit Club. Lot counts reflect the original plan and may have changed with later phases.
Yes, in a limited way. The original community was planned around 260 lots, and a later phase known as Summit Two has added homesites, including some of the largest lots in the community. Custom homes are still being designed and built, so you'll see construction on individual lots for years.
Around it, Summerlin keeps adding villages to the west and north, and Downtown Summerlin continues to add retail and dining. Inside the gates, growth means new custom estates and club residences, not new tracts.
The real decision here is build versus buy, and how much house you want to manage.
You want to build exactly what you want Buy a homesite and work with an architect under the club's design guidelines. Expect design review and a longer timeline, but you get a one-of-one house. | You want a finished estate Resale custom homes come up rarely and often privately. I keep track of what's quietly available, so tell me your must-haves early. |
You want lock-and-leave Look at the clubhouse and Canyon suites, or the club-built villas and cottages. Less to maintain, close to the amenities. | You want the largest lot The newer Summit Two phase has homesites reported at more than five acres, with more separation between homes. |
The honest pros Private Tom Fazio golf course and full club amenities Custom architecture, no production tracts Guard-gated with round-the-clock security and residential services | The honest trade-offs Club membership and HOA dues are significant ongoing costs Very few sales, so pricing is harder to benchmark Custom builds take time and go through design review |
Beyond custom estates, the club has offered several collections of built residences. Sizes below are approximate. Availability changes, and many of these trade privately, so ask me what's actually on the market.
| Collection | Type | Approximate size |
|---|---|---|
| Desert Bungalows | Detached club residence | About 3,500 sq ft |
| Golf Cottages | Detached club residence | About 4,000 to 4,500 sq ft |
| Desert Villas | Detached club residence | About 5,200 to 5,600 sq ft |
| Club Villas | Detached club residence | About 5,650 to 6,950 sq ft |
| Point Villas | Detached club residence | About 7,000 sq ft |
| Clubhouse and Canyon Suites | Condominium residences | About 1,500 to 4,950 sq ft |
A lot of Summit Club buyers already know Discovery Land from other club communities and compare this one directly. For California owners, the larger shift is financial: Nevada has no state income tax, and property tax increases are capped each year. At this price level, run the numbers with your CPA and attorney before you decide where to establish residency. Practically, plan at least one in-person visit to walk lots and see the club. I can coordinate private showings, introduce you to the club's team and send detailed comps so you understand the market before you fly in. Plan Your Move to Las Vegas | California → Nevada
