Christopher Homes sells at Boulder Ridge

Christopher Homes is selling a limited collection of 46 residences in Boulder Ridge in The Ridges Village in Summerlin.

Homes range in size from 4,000 to more than 6,000 square feet and are priced starting at $1.7 million.

According to Chris Stuhmer, chief executive officer and owner of Christopher Homes, each of the 46 home sites have been designed to optimize both front and rear views.

"Boulder Ridge features amazing views of the city, golf course and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area," he said. "To maximize those views, we have added generous outdoor living areas on every home, such as sky decks, rooftop gardens and terraces. These areas will serve as a great place for entertaining as well as relaxing."

Residences at Boulder Ridge offer a standard option package that exceeds most custom home features. Standard amenities include disappearing doors, a stainless steel pivot front entry door, marble or travertine bath countertops and bath surrounds, Kohler fixtures and Viking stainless-steel kitchen appliances.

"We've combined the finest materials with the latest technology to offer our home buyers the highest standard of living," Stuhmer said.

Home buyers interested in Boulder Ridge will soon have the opportunity to visit one of its three showcase homes, which are scheduled to open in November.

Boulder Ridge is one of several neighborhoods in The Ridges. The 800-acre village is home to multiple custom home neighborhoods; Club Ridges, a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse that features a state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobic room, steam rooms, five lighted tennis courts, a lap and play pool and a park area; and Bear's Best Las Vegas, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course that features replications of famous holes from his courses throughout the Southwestern United States.

The Ridges, which was named by Forbes.com as the country's third most exclusive gated community in 2004, is the most exclusive village developed to date in Summerlin, according to Peggy Chandler, senior vice president of community development for The Howard Hughes Corp., developer of the master-planned community.
