‘House of Roses’ in Northwest Las Vegas hits the market for nearly $8M

Everything spins on this ranch property in northwest Las Vegas.

The Kentucky Derby is the Run for the Roses, but the equestrian lifestyle is at the fore at a Lone Mountain estate dubbed “The House of Roses” that sold for $ 7.95 million. The ranch actually gets its name from its lush landscaping not normally seen in Las Vegas, with 25 species of roses and a number of fruit trees in the courtyards, all of which are tended on a private system of fountains.

The hacienda-style property sits on 2.25 acres with Lone Mountain as the backdrop for a property that looks more like it is in ranch areas in Southern California.

It is called the “Horse Owners Dream Home” by real estate agent Anthony Spiegel of the Ivan Sher Group of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. The property includes seven horse stables with automatic waterers, a box stable with an attached 10 m long covered exercise area, a 14,000 m² riding arena with shock absorption, a riding arena surrounded by a steel plank fence from Buckley Fence, a 60-foot circular training area and circular driveway for loading and transporting horses and supplies.

In addition, the riding lifestyle paradise with several horse enclosures has direct access to a 3.7 km long groomed bridle path from the private remote-controlled back gate.

And that even before you step into the southwestern Spanish-style house that goes with the 4225 N. Jensen St riding stable. The 8,199-square-foot home includes six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a four-car garage, and a casita.

The house, built in 2003, is owned by Jessica and Josh Pianco. She is the daughter of the late Stan Mallin, who opened Caesar’s Palace with his business partner Jay Sarno in 1966. The couple bought the house in 2016 and extensively renovated it.

The interior of the house features terracotta floors, traditional Talavera tiles, wrought iron railings, dark mosaic glass tiles on the walls and fireplaces, natural stone wall elements, authentic wood-paneled ceilings and beams and lights that are reminiscent of the time, Spiegel said. Other features include rustic wood accents, archways, and multiple courtyards that allow for the ultimate in indoor and outdoor living.

The house includes a family room with full-walled, black-framed windows overlooking the backyard and a central living room with a vaulted ceiling, private wine cellar and a massive fireplace in the middle. The kitchen features an oversized center island, double front sinks, separate sinks, stainless steel and cabinet front units, stained glass windows, a floor to ceiling fireplace in the breakfast nook, and a Dutch door that opens to a lush outdoor terrace, Spiegel said.

Two separate flights of stairs lead up to multiple balconies overlooking the horse pastures and exercise areas, as well as a sprawling master bedroom with a private fireplace and outdoor seating area, Spiegel said.

There is even a den and office space.

The history of the house is one of design and construction and of a couple who wanted historic charm but contemporary upgrades to the hacienda style, Spiegel said. It feels like a home rather than a house and has character and depth with fun and themed spaces like the Peacock Room, a playroom with a blue mosaic similar to a peacock’s feathers. There is a matching bathroom.

“Let’s do something that you find in Southern California and live in a place that reminds you of Mexico, and that’s it,” said Spiegel. “There’s nothing like this house in Las Vegas with the ironworks, architecture, and lighting. This property was designed for the equestrian enthusiast who also appreciates the stunning architecture and design throughout. Every detail of this property has been taken into account, from the outdoor facilities and the general layout of the house to subtleties such as lighting, wooden elements and tiles. “

Spiegel called the backyard a secluded oasis in the corner of the property overlooking Lone Mountain and the Spring Mountain Ranges of Red Rock Canyon. A covered adult pool overlooks a built-in outdoor kitchen and a larger central pool with a covered shallow lounge area, an overflow spa and tiled water features. It is built for entertainment and can accommodate hundreds of people on the premises.

“This is really one of those experience houses in which you are, feel and experience,” said Spiegel. “It’s perfect for someone who likes horses and enjoys this lifestyle, but if not it can be used for other purposes. You can build a tennis or basketball court or convert the stand into a gym, theater, casita or yoga studio. “

As horse owners, the Piancos bought the traditional home for the equestrian lifestyle. It’s also in a great location with some modern and contemporary homes in the neighborhood, Spiegel said. He called it a place where owners can have fun with their personal mountain.

“We’re at the Cheyenne exit, a few steps further from Charleston and Sahara, and 10 minutes from downtown Summerlin, but you feel like a world away,” said Spiegel. “What makes this house so special is that you have the Lone Mountain Equestrian Park next door. It’s the only daily groomed equestrian center in the county, and it’s in your garden.

Not only do you have your facilities on your 2.25 acres, but you also have a 3.7 mile trail around Lone Mountain that you can drive with a covered arena. “

Spiegel said what makes the house special is the architecture and the design with its commitment to the traditional. Las Vegas has evolved into a more modern style with Mid-Century Modern in the 1950s and 1960s and Tuscany in the 1990s and 2000s. The hacienda style is no longer prevalent in Las Vegas today, he said.

“A hundred years from now, this house could look just like this, and we would still appreciate it,” said Spiegel.

What also makes the property special is the acreage and usability, function, foliage, roses, and grass – all the things Vegas homes don’t have, Spiegel said.

“You can go to the most expensive houses in town and many of them sit in half an acre or less,” said Spiegel. “You can go for a walk, rest, ride or ride a bike on 2.25 hectares. You don’t hear any noise or traffic. You hear the falls. You don’t see any roofs. It’s a reprieve. The landscaping makes you feel like you are in a different place. Not only is it a respite from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, but I think it’s the uniqueness of this house for what people expect from Las Vegas. ”

Josh Pianco said he built the ranch and house for his wife, Jessica. The house was there, but they added the equestrian elements, greenery, and gardens. They even completely renovated the house.

“Usually horse stables are behind a house, but on our property you can wave to the horses before you park your car in the garage,” said Pianco. “We used to do that every day.”

Josh Pianco said they chose this house and location because of the walking and bridle path and the adjacent equestrian park. You don’t have to get into a car or cross the street, he said.

Pianco said they chose to sell to simplify their lifestyle. He expects the buyer to be someone who loves horses or who loves to entertain. It will be someone who has multiple homes but doesn’t want to live in a luxury community like Summit Club.

Jessica Pianco said she was praised by people who love the home and its character and personality and that it would be a dream home for a family with horses. She also said that someone who isn’t into horses can always build a tennis court or something else.

“It’s for someone who wants it all – the horse facility, the big modern home, the land and the ability to ride horses without walking and the privacy,” said Josh Pianco. “People tell me it’s their favorite place in all of Las Vegas.”
