Casino-Industry Leader Lists Luxury Chateau in Entertainment Capital of the World
(LAS VEGAS) November 19, 2018 From modern-day castles with stunning desert views, to spectacular chateaus overlooking the world-famous Strip, the Las Vegas luxury-home market is quickly becoming hot spot for ultra luxury, one-of-a-kind estates. As the gaming and entertainment capital of the world, it’s no surprise, then, that many noteworthy figures from Las Vegas’ hospitality empires have added their own signatures on the city’s ever-growing roster of luxury residences. Longtime casino executive Barry Shier has recently listed his French Chateau inspired residence for sale for $16.5 million.
A former Chairman and CEO in Steve Wynn’s collection of hotel and casino properties, Shier helped design and develop some of the most recognizable destination resorts in the world. His career in Las Vegas saw him manage multiple mega resorts and entertainment venues, several of which have become synonymous with the city’s famous façade. He later went on to oversee corporate development of Mirage Resorts, Inc, an integral asset in what eventually became one of the largest entertainment companies on the globe.
Now a sought-after consultant, Shier also created one of the most unique and sought-after homes in the area: The Enclave. Situated on more than 2.6 acres of land, the home is an American interpretation of classic French architecture, located directly adjacent to the 18th Fairway of the TPC Summerlin Golf Course, home of the PGA’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
The more than 15,000-square-foot, six-bed, ten-bath home features a private master-retreat wing that includes a full gym, steam room, his-and-her custom-closet dressing rooms, and extraordinary master bath.
The Enclave’s interior is steeped in warm hues of taupe, chocolate, sienna, and saffron. Handcrafted chestnut, cherry and stone flooring, along with hand-hewn beams, fine wall finishes and individually-selected works of art come together in the home’s intimate alcoves and retreats, grand staircases and fireplaces, delivering the feel of a magnificent chateau along the French countryside.
The pulse of the home can be felt in its kitchen, with a classic-yet-spacious layout that enhances the communal feel of the space. “The open country design is very inviting to anyone who visits. It’s a fantastic place for family and friends to spend time,” said Shier. The kitchen’s cooking area is equipped with the latest appliances to deliver exceptional gourmet cuisine, and during the day the room is bathed in natural sunlight from the home’s various inviting vantage points. To complement the kitchen, the home is outfitted with a full European-inspired wine cellar as well.
The Enclave’s amenities continue with a luxurious office and study, which include an impressive fireplace that can also be viewed from the adjacent courtyard. Other outdoor entertainment spaces include a masterfully-designed lagoon-style pool and an over-sized fire pit on the back-patio.
Acres of verdant lawns, along with lush, mature landscaping enhance The Enclave’s visage. French country-style gardens encircle the golf course frontage estate, with the home’s landscaping building a picturesque frame for Southern Nevada’s iconic evening sunsets. “Sundown is a spectacular sight from the yard,” Shier said. “It’s a fantastic time to walk with my Golden Retriever on the gravel path that runs alongside The Enclave’s fruit orchard and bocce court.”
The Enclave is located on what is known as ‘Billionaire’s Row’, where world-famous magician David Copperfield completed the most expensive residential sale in Las Vegas on record to date.
Despite the nearly full-acre disparity between The Enclave and its smaller-acreage neighbor, the former is modestly listed at $16.5 million. Representing the home’s sales is Robert Sibulkin of Ivan Sher Group/Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties. Widely recognized as the most successful luxury real estate sales team in Nevada, the group completed more than $300 million in Las Vegas luxury home sales in 2017, with Sibulkin leading the charge on several multi-million-dollar transactions.
The Enclave is located at 1641 Enclave Court, a short drive west from the lights and sounds of the Las Vegas Strip. For more information, visit www.lasvegasfinehomes.com or call 702-315-0223.
