On the north shore of Lake Las Vegas, The Island offers a unique lakeside living experience. Developed by Raintree Investment Corp., this man-made feature includes two exclusive Blue Heron Nexus Communities – Velaris and Arvada on The Island.
Patrick Parker, president of Raintree Investment Corp., shared that creating a community surrounded by water was challenging, but they utilized the natural land forms of Lake Las Vegas to determine the homesites. The Island spans over 60 acres and can be accessed by a land bridge, providing luxury homebuyers with stunning views of the lake and mountains. The community features over 200 homesites behind a double-gated security entrance.
Velaris at The Island, which opened at the beginning of the year, offers 41 homesites, including 23 waterfront properties with breathtaking waterway views. Each home is designed for luxury and comfort, with prices starting at approximately $1.355 million. The community offers five curated floor plans, including a rare single-story option, ranging from 2,870 to 4,688 square feet.
Blue Heron’s signature Vegas Modern design is showcased in the 4,688-square-foot show home at 105 Still Shores St. The home is listed for $3,499,900 and features a biophilic design that integrates natural elements and a calming color palette to create a harmonious living space.
The main living area of the home includes a great room with voluminous ceilings and a central two-story fireplace. The space seamlessly transitions to the exterior covered patio through disappearing pocket doors, offering a perfect indoor-outdoor living experience. The sophisticated kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, a central island with a quartzite waterfall edge, and LED lighting.
The main-level primary suite exudes luxury with a cozy seating area, fireplace, and access to the exterior pool deck. The resort-style bath boasts double floating vanities, a central soaking tub, and an oversized glass-encased shower. A floating staircase leads to the upper-level loft with a deck overlooking the waterway.
Arvada, another Nexus community on The Island, offers five exclusive floor plans on 37 half-acre waterfront homesites. The homes start at over $2 million and feature larger floor plans. The 7,690-square-foot show home at 1572 Pleasant Bay Court is listed at $6,499,900 and includes an upper-level wellness suite with an infrared sauna and cold plunge.
Both show homes on The Island are furnished and decorated by Atelier Blue Heron Interiors, following a coastal theme with a lighter approach. The homes also feature real art that ties into the design, creating a unique living experience.
Residents of The Island can enjoy amenities like the Comfort Station, where they can socialize, grab a snack, or enjoy the lake views. The community is located near the Village, offering access to the Reflection Bay Golf Club, Lake Las Vegas Sports Club, restaurants, shopping, and water sports activities on the lake.
The Nexus division of Blue Heron provides predesigned custom homes, allowing residents to move into their dream home more quickly. The Island at Lake Las Vegas offers a luxurious and vibrant lakeside living experience for those seeking an exclusive retreat surrounded by natural beauty.
