MacDonald Highlands Mansion Sells for $14.25M, Second-Highest Henderson Sale of 2025
LAS VEGAS, NV – The second-priciest residential sale in Henderson so far this year closed last week, with a mansion located in the swanky MacDonald Highlands guard-gated community exchanging hands for the impressive sum of $14.25 million.
Second in price this year only to a sale that took place in July for the astronomical amount of $25.25 million, the recently-sold mansion was originally listed on the market by Kristen Routh-Silberman of Douglas Elliman in May of this year for $15.95 million.
The seller of the home is dental and medical support company PDS Health founder Stephen Thorne, along with his wife Pamela, who had previously bought the three-fourths of an acre property – which was empty at the time – for $1.6 million in 2013. Three years later in 2016 they began construction of their residence, utilizing the services of Las Vegas-based luxury developer Blue Heron Homes, notable for building the MacDonald Highlands home of former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya, among others.
The two-story home features over 13,400 square feet of living space with seven bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms, with views of the Las Vegas Strip. It also boasts numerous amenities such as an infinity-edge pool and hot tub, a fire pit, heated covered patios, an outdoor kitchen and bar, an elevator, a wine cellar and tasting room, a game room, a billiards room and a gym.
The buyers, who are currently not publicly named, were represented in the deal by Ivan Sher of IS Luxury, who merely noted that they are a Southern Nevada family who had been looking for the right home to purchase for several years now, before finally landing upon Thorne’s sale.
They had three main priorities: big views of the Strip and the golf course, enough space for their growing family and a good-sized yard,” Sher said. “They wanted room for the kids and space to entertain, and this home checked every box.”
