Former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr recently sold his Southern Highlands home for an impressive $8.55 million, which was just under the original listing price of $8.99 million. The buyer, Ronald Brown from Lexington, Kentucky, who is a wealth management adviser for professional athletes, purchased the property through a trust.
Carr, who moved on from the Raiders to join the New Orleans Saints last year, had put his luxurious estate on the market in August. The home, located in The Estates at Southern Highlands, boasts seven bedrooms, seven full baths, two partial baths, and an eight-car garage. Built in 2020 by TransCon Pacific and designed by Vida Design Studios, the property spans 0.77 acres.
The main house features five bedrooms, seven baths, and covers 8,628 square feet, while a separate casita adds an additional 1,000 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths. Described as secluded and ideal for athletes or entertainers, the home offers a modern Tuscan transitional design with high-end finishes, bespoke furnishings, and designer selections throughout.
In September, this sale was the highest-priced transaction in the valley. The second-highest sale was a property on Barney Street in the northwest valley, which sold for $6.57 million. The residence, sitting on 14 acres, includes a main house, guest house, and two-story guest condos, totaling over 12,000 square feet with 12 bedrooms and eight baths.
The third-highest sale was in MacDonald Highlands in Henderson, with a two-story home built in 2022 boasting 6,146 square feet, four bedrooms, and seven baths. The property, sold for $5.78 million, features a large backyard with a pool, spa, and a basketball court, overlooking the fourth hole of the DragonRidge golf course.
Another notable sale was in Seven Hills in Henderson, where a property sold for $5.35 million. This home, built in 2008, offers over 10,000 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, eight baths, and stunning views of the Rio Secco Golf Course and the Strip. The outdoor area includes an infinity pool, spa, fire pit, and a separate casita.
Overall, there were 135 sales of $1 million and above in September, exceeding the previous record of 129 in 2021. The real estate market continues to thrive, with a total of 444 sales for homes over $1 million in the third quarter, showing a significant increase from the previous year. The demand for luxury properties in the Las Vegas area remains strong, attracting buyers from various industries and locations.
