Las Vegas Estate Designed by Noted Architect Bill Tull to List for $17 Million

LAS VEGAS, NV – A lavish Las Vegas estate designed by noted Arizona-based architect Bill Tull that boasts extensive equestrian facilities is set to be listed on the market for the impressive sum of $17 million.

The huge whitewashed adobe-style residence was originally designed in the mid-1990s, and while Tull is known as the vision behind numerous ground-breaking homes in his native Arizona as well as California and Texas – where he is especially noted for having designed country music star George Strait’s estate – the residence in Las Vegas remains the only one of his design in Southern Nevada.

The property is situated a mere 15 minutes from the famed Las Vegas Strip; however, you wouldn’t know it by its calm and isolated feel, with the residence located on a large 9.8-acre plot of land adorned with numerous trees for a sense of privacy, according to current owner Bonnie Elkanich.

It’s super peaceful, you could never find anything like it in Vegas,” she said. “There’s a family of hawks and eagles that were raised on the property from the previous owner for the past 40 years. There’s also beautiful views of Sheep Mountain.”

The property has only had one previous owner, from whom Elkanich purchased it approximately five years ago for an undisclosed sum.

The house comes in at 8,611 square-feet of living space, spread out among six bedrooms; every single room in the residence has a fireplace, of which Elkanich says there are a total of 32. In addition to the main house, there are also two detached casitas, one with two bedrooms and bathrooms, and the other with one of each.

When she bought the property, Elkanich said that she completely renovated it, laying down new stone floors, replacing the plumbing and electrical systems, and knocking down five walls to open up the main living spaces. The basement also features chilled wine and whiskey rooms, making use of refrigeration systems that were originally used by the previous owner for a subterranean meat locker.

But the property’s main feature is that it was designed with horse-lovers in mind, and to that end it boasts a 16-stall stable, an Olympic-size covered arena, a round pen, a hot walker and pastures. In addition, horseback rising is allowed by both the county and state on the neighborhood’s streets, according to listing agent Ivan Sher of IS Luxury.

It’s really like an oasis in Las Vegas, and it’s also one of the very few adobe-style properties in the country with equestrian facilities,” Sher said.
