A Nevada mansion with interesting ties to the fast-food industry has just gotten a very quick sale — days after its latest listing price dropped just $1.

The property is located just 15 miles southeast of the famous Las Vegas Strip in McDonald Highlands, a tony community where the area’s most luxurious retreats are tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, while still enjoying incredible views of Sin City’s glittering skyline.

All the houses in the neighborhood are located on top of a hill that rises above the strip, including a 9,600-square-foot mansion once owned by the family that brought the popular burger chain Carl’s Jr. to Las Vegas.

Built in 2009, it has had several owners over the past 16 years, including Larson The family, which is credited with bringing Carl’s Jr. to Southern Nevada and Vegas, opened 38 restaurant locations throughout the region. It has also been a show home Dan Collettiowner of Sunwest Custom Homes.

Larson bought the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate in 2013 for $1.1 million and sold it to the current owners in 2016 for a whopping $3.42 million, an impressive return on their investment.

The most recent owners initially listed the property for $6.8 million in July 2024 — and the home would continue to bounce on and off the market for more than a year, as the price remained permanently at $5.5 million.

Then, in June 2025, the residence was boosted—it went on the market on November 7 for $5.499 million, a nominal $1 price-coup, which seems to have done the trick, with records showing the home went under offer just days later.

Listing Agent JD Diaz IS Luxury revealed that the home not only secured one buyer, but actually had more than one offer, with the residence’s sleek and luxurious finishes, as well as multiple personal views, credited for driving the interest.

“We did a ‘refresh’ on the estate that included painting, replacing the carpet and modern staging,” says Diaz.

“Our launch campaign included an in-house broker tour, a week of incoming listings and a weekend-only one-day home showcase. The foot traffic was tremendous. Non-stop action.”

A big advantage of in-person visitors? Getting a chance to see the immense vista of the property in real life.

They are, in a word, unparalleled, thanks to the numerous observation decks. While ideas aren’t unusual in this community, in this house they’re even more spectacular, Diaz notes.

“Having more than 9,600 square feet with nearly every bedroom has a full strip view,” Diaz says, “making it very rare and a gem.” Usually, you have to climb quite a bit to get a view like this house. “

Paired with an open layout, this is the perfect home for a seasoned entertainer, whether for parties, or an overnight stay for friends and family.

On the main level is the primary suite, which includes access to the yard through pocket doors. A variety of amenities are just steps from one’s bed, including a spa, infinity-edge pool, outdoor kitchen, and covered lounge area. The home’s perch on half an acre makes these amenities possible.

Another fashionable space is the kitchen, with two islands and chef-grade appliances. And for entertainment, there’s no better place than its own bar or a game room with a state-of-the-art theater.

A wine rack in the dining room will accentuate the wine storage, which is ideal for displaying special vintages or displaying bottles during dinner.

Buyers like the guard gated community in Henderson, NV for its privacy, views and large lot size. Soon, Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, part of the luxury hotel brand, will debut at MacDonald Highlands, targeting late 2026.

Diaz also had a specific buyer profile in mind.

“The buyer should be someone who wants open space and of course a fantastic view. People love MacDonald Highlands because of the security, exclusivity and exceptional property provided by the lush community.”

He also cited the “beautiful and well-maintained Dragon Ridge golf course and social events” as two other facilities with great appeal.

“There’s a lot of green around, too, from the mature trees to the green on the 10th hole,” says Diaz. “There’s a reason it went so fast.”
