The Jenson Group of RE/MAX CENTRAL, a leading Las Vegas luxury real estate agency specializing in high-end residential property, has an extraordinary new listing at 68 Wildwing in The Ridges of Summerlin, Las Vegas – a magnificent 9,617 square foot newly custom-built estate home that not only boasts a litany of premium architectural, design and décor features, but also uniquely holds “Diamond Certified Green” home classification by the esteemed Environments For Living® program, among other superior energy efficiency-based rakings. With this Diamond certification, the buyer of this mammoth luxury home will receive a written guarantee that total utility bills for heating and cooling will not exceed $366 per month total for a full 3-year period. It is listed for just under $3.5 million.
This brand new three-story, 5 bedroom, 7 bathroom custom residence, built with painstaking attention to detail over a 2-year period by Las Vegas-based Tyler Construction, also boasts an Energy Star rating with an astoundingly low HERS Index score of 63 (22 points better than that required for Energy Star), Department of Energy “Builder’s Challenge” rating, and 2006 IECC Code Compliance (50% better than standard). Factors contributing to this home’s incredible energy efficiency include strategic insulation at the roof line vs. the ceiling line, specialized HVAC equipment and fixtures, premium water technology and CFL lighting. Virtually air-tight, this home has a controlled environment with individual sensors and thermostats in every room, including the attic, which provide personal comfort control in each. A fresh air ventilation system is also installed to ensure the best indoor air quality possible.
“From an energy efficiency standpoint, this is one of the best built luxury custom residences of this size and scale in the United States,” notes John Curtis, owner of Tyler Construction. “We’re extremely excited to now have this incredible home listed for sale with The Jenson Group – a results-driven agency known for representing distinctive properties and achieving client goals in short order.”
