When Tesla’s Elon Musk announced the debut of the company’s Powerwall recently, the high-capacity battery joined a fleet of new products promising to green your luxury home, from solar-powered stereo speakers to home-management systems that track energy use. With traditional builders touting green home lines and eco-friendly custom design firms like Blue Heron enjoying increasing popularity, sustainable design is moving from the margins to the mainstream in Las Vegas.
Through the majestic gates of Henderson’s Roma Hills lies an estate like no other in Southern Nevada. It is thoroughly French in design and style and definitely has that “ooh la la” factor.

But the master impressionist declared the Red Rock Country Club to be his favorite, so last September he bought a five-bedroom bungalow on the golf course right across the street from his former residence.
