Foothills at MacDonald Ranch: Guard-Gated · Golf · Luxury Living in Henderson

Foothills at MacDonald Ranch is a guard-gated · golf · luxury community within MacDonald Ranch in Henderson, Nevada (ZIP 89012), established in 2000, developed by MacDonald Development Company, spanning 400 acres. The Foothills at MacDonald Ranch is a guard-gated luxury community located in the elevated terrain above Henderson, adjacent to the MacDonald Highlands and DragonRidge Country Club.

Homes in The Foothills range from approximately $1 million for semi-custom resales to over $4 million for custom estates on premium view lots.

Homes typically range from 3,000 to 8,000+ square feet, with many featuring contemporary desert architecture, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, infinity pools, and expansive outdoor terraces designed to frame the panoramic views.

The community benefits from its proximity to DragonRidge Country Club, Henderson's premier private golf facility. While DragonRidge is technically within the adjacent MacDonald Highlands, Foothills residents can apply for membership, providing access to the championship Jay Morrish-designed course, fine dining, fitness facilities, and the country club social calendar. This golf-adjacent positioning gives Foothills residents the benefits of a golf community without mandatory membership fees.

The guard-gated entry, elevated terrain, and sweeping views position The Foothills as a direct competitor to MacDonald Highlands itself — but at price points that are often more accessible than the custom lots higher up the mountain in Dragon Rock or The Ridges at MacDonald Highlands. For luxury buyers who want panoramic Henderson views, guard-gated security, and proximity to a premier country club, The Foothills at MacDonald Ranch is one of Henderson's most compelling luxury addresses.
