Cactus Bloom at Summerlin: New Construction Single Story Homes by Richmond American Coming to La Madre Peaks

The large single-story luxury homes Summerlin has been missing since 2020 — coming summer 2026 to La Madre Peaks Village, the more refined sister to Grand Park. Anticipated starting price: $2 million.

Let me tell you about a community that has not opened yet but that I have been watching very closely.

It is going to be called Cactus Bloom. It is being built by Richmond American Homes. It is coming to La Madre Peaks Village in Summerlin West — the most elevated, most exclusive corner of the entire master plan. And unless you have been tracking new construction in this valley the way I have, you probably do not yet appreciate why this one matters.

So let me explain.

What Is Cactus Bloom at Summerlin?

Cactus Bloom is 89 gated single-story luxury homes coming to La Madre Peaks Village in Summerlin West, Las Vegas, from Richmond American Homes’ Aspire Collection. Three floor plans. All single-story. All large. Generous lots. Anticipated starting price of $2 million. Sales expected to launch summer 2026.

Those are the facts. Here is why they matter.

Richmond American is bringing large single-story luxury homes back to Summerlin for the first time since 2020.

If that does not sound significant to you yet, stay with me. It is going to.

The Gap in the Summerlin Market Nobody Has Filled

Summerlin has been producing extraordinary new construction over the past five years. Master-planned villages, gated communities, resort-style amenities, beautiful design. Real money has been built in Summerlin since 2020.

But one specific category has been missing from the inventory the entire time.

The large single-story home.

Not the 1,800 square foot single-story you find in active adult communities. Not the 2,200 square foot single-story you find in the more value-driven new construction. I am talking about real single-story — 3,500 square feet and up, three-car garages, four bedrooms minimum, lots that breathe — for the buyer who is past the stairs phase of life but is not interested in downsizing into something that feels small.

That buyer has been here the whole time. Touring resale. Touring competing master plans. Touring active adult communities and walking out frustrated. Asking every Summerlin agent the same question — where is the large new single-story? — and getting the same answer.

Nowhere.

Until now.

Cactus Bloom is the community that buyer has been waiting six years for. And the buyers who have been waiting are going to recognize it the moment they see it.

Where Is Cactus Bloom Located?

Location is the part where this story gets really interesting. Because Cactus Bloom is not just being built in Summerlin. It is being built deep in the most exclusive corner of Summerlin West.

The community sits in La Madre Peaks Village — the newest village in Summerlin West — on Mountain Run Drive south of Twilight Run Drive, at approximately 4,000 feet of elevation. That makes it one of the highest topographies in the entire Las Vegas Valley.

And directly next door? Astra at La Madre Peaks. Summerlin’s exclusive custom-lot luxury enclave. Entry pricing currently starts at $2 million-plus. The buyers building at Astra are not buying tract homes. They are building $3M, $4M, $5M+ custom estates on three-quarter to two-acre lots. That is the neighborhood Cactus Bloom is being plugged directly into.

Here is the way to think about La Madre Peaks Village.

If Grand Park Village is the popular sister — the active, amenitized, family-driven village built around Summerlin’s largest park — La Madre Peaks is the more refined sister. Smaller in scale. More elevated, literally. More private. More exclusive. Built around Astra at its core.

Grand Park is where Summerlin West shows off. La Madre Peaks is where Summerlin West keeps its highest-end buyers.

Cactus Bloom is being built right in the middle of it.

For buyers, the location matters in three specific ways:

• Elevation. At 4,000 feet, you have views in every direction — Red Rock Canyon on one side, the valley below on the other.
• Astra adjacency. When the community next door starts at $2 million for custom lots, it sets the entire price ceiling for the village. Cactus Bloom is buying into that gravity, not building it.
• Access. Close to Lake Mead Boulevard and the 215 Beltway for the rest of the valley — while still being deep in the most insulated corner of Summerlin.

That combination is rare. And it does not come up often.

Cactus Bloom Floor Plans

Three single-story floor plans, all from Richmond American’s Aspire Collection:

The Rocco

• Approximately 3,470 square feet
• 4 bedrooms
• 3.5 bathrooms
• 3-car garage

The Rowen

• Approximately 3,710 square feet
• 4 bedrooms
• 4.5 bathrooms
• 3-car garage

The Robert

• Approximately 4,010 square feet
• 4-5 bedrooms
• 3.5-4.5 bathrooms
• 3-car garage

Read those numbers again, slowly, because what they represent is unusual.

The Robert — 4,010 square feet on a single level — is the kind of floor plan that simply does not exist anywhere else in new construction Summerlin right now. The Rowen at 3,710 and the Rocco at 3,470 are not far behind. Every one of these is a real-sized home built for the buyer who needs space — for guests, for grandkids in town, for a real primary suite, for the kind of life that requires square footage.

You cannot get this product anywhere else in new Summerlin in 2026. Not from Toll Brothers. Not from Taylor Morrison. Not from anyone. The single-story communities being built right now are sized for the downsizing buyer. Cactus Bloom is built for the buyer who is not downsizing.

That is the gap. And Richmond American just walked into it.

Cactus Bloom Lot Sizes and Why That Matters

Cactus Bloom sits on 36.3 acres with 89 home sites. That works out to an average lot size of approximately 13,520 square feet. Roughly double the lot size you are getting at Esplanade at Red Rock. Substantially larger than the Enclaves at Cloudbreak Ridge. Real space between homes.

Why does that matter? Because at this price point, lot size is the silent value driver. The buyer paying $2 million does not want to look directly into the neighbor’s primary suite. They want side yards that breathe, backyards that can hold real entertaining space, and enough lot to position the home for privacy and view.

Cactus Bloom gives you that. The recent single-story communities in Summerlin do not.

View lots are expected given the elevation and the Astra adjacency. The early-phase view lots will be the ones to fight for.

How Much Will Cactus Bloom Cost?

Anticipated starting price: $2 million.

Richmond American has not formally released a pricing sheet yet. But the math is clear. Custom lots next door at Astra start at $2M-plus. Premium single-story product at this size and lot configuration anywhere else in the valley is selling in this range. The location supports it. The product justifies it.

The buyers who get in at the Phase 1 release will secure the best pricing and the best lots. Subsequent phases will price up. That is how Richmond American releases inventory. That is how it always works.

If you wait until the public sales launch to engage representation, you are entering the conversation after the smart money has already moved.

When Does Cactus Bloom Open?

Sales are expected to launch summer 2026. The sales office and model homes are coming.

But here is what most buyers do not understand about how a community like this actually opens. The “launch” is the public moment. The private moment — the VIP weekend, the early lot reservations, the pre-launch pricing for represented buyers — happens before the public sees anything. That is when the best lots and the best pricing get secured. That is when the savvy buyers move.

The buyers who walk into the sales office on opening day are not first. They are third or fourth in line, working with whatever inventory was not already reserved.

If you are seriously considering Cactus Bloom, the question is not whether to engage representation. It is whether you do it before the smart money has already taken the best inventory.

Who Is Cactus Bloom Built For?

This community was designed for a specific buyer who has been quietly underserved in Summerlin for six years.

If you were excited about Esplanade at Red Rock — the Taylor Morrison resort-style community opening half a mile away — but found yourself thinking “I love the lifestyle pitch but these homes feel too small for what I actually want” — Cactus Bloom is your answer. Esplanade’s largest homes top out under 3,000 square feet. Cactus Bloom starts at 3,470.

If you walked Cloudbreak Ridge by KB Home and liked the single-story format — but felt the homes were sized more for a downsizer than for the buyer who still entertains, still has family in town, still wants a real primary suite — Cactus Bloom is the antidote.

If you are relocating from California, the East Coast, or any market where 4,000 square feet of single-floor luxury is the baseline — and you have been touring Summerlin quietly wondering “where is the actual single-story version of what I am used to” — this is the community you have been looking for.

If you have been considering Astra but the $2M+ custom build process feels like more management than you wanted to take on — Cactus Bloom is the production version right next door. Same village. Same elevation. Same neighborhood. Smaller scale of decisions to make.

This is not a community for everyone. It is a community for someone specific. And if you are reading this and recognizing yourself in the description — that is the signal.

Cactus Bloom vs. Other New Summerlin Communities

Here is how Cactus Bloom sits next to everything else opening in the area:

Community	Builder	Style	Sq Ft Range	Starting Price
Cactus Bloom	Richmond American	Single-story luxury	3,470 – 4,010	$2M (anticipated)
Esplanade at Red Rock	Taylor Morrison	Single-story resort	1,569 – 2,830	High $600s
Cloudbreak Ridge	KB Home	1- and 2-story	2,251 – 3,095	Low $800s
Astra at La Madre Peaks	Custom	Custom luxury	Custom	$2M+

Different products. Different buyers. Different price points. Cactus Bloom is the only large single-story production option in La Madre Peaks Village — and that is the entire point.

What to Watch Before Cactus Bloom Opens

If you are seriously tracking this community, here is what I am paying attention to — and what you should be too:

The lot strategy. 13,520 square feet average sounds great. But average means some lots are larger, some smaller, some positioned for view, some not. The view lots — and there will be view lots given the elevation and the Astra adjacency — will command premium and disappear fast. The early release schedule is where this gets won.

The finish package. This is where I have watched buyers get hurt at this price point. Aspire Collection homes have a reasonable standard finish. But at $2 million, the question is which upgrades are standard, which become optional, and which the builder is going to make you negotiate for. Primary bathrooms that should be upgraded at this price point sometimes are not. Kitchen packages at $2M+ pricing sometimes ship with a single slide-in range when double ovens and a cooktop should be the floor. The buyer who treats the brochure as the final answer at this price point is going to end up disappointed three years in. The buyer who knows what to ask for is going to do extremely well.

The early-phase pricing. Richmond American releases pricing in phases. Phase 1 buyers get the best pricing and the best lots. Every subsequent phase prices up. The question is never whether to get in early — it is whether you have the representation to know when early is, and what to lock in when you get there.

What Astra does next door. Cactus Bloom’s value story is tied directly to what continues to happen at Astra. As that custom-lot community fills in at $2M-plus entry pricing, the entire La Madre Peaks Village rises with it. Early Cactus Bloom buyers are essentially buying into the wake of Astra’s success — which historically is one of the strongest plays you can make in Summerlin.

This is the kind of community where representation does not cost the buyer anything (the builder pays the buyer’s agent commission) but the cost of going in without it can be enormous. The price differential between getting in early with the right lot and the right finish package — versus walking in cold on opening day — can be six figures over the life of the home.

That is not me being dramatic. That is twenty years of watching this exact pattern play out in this exact valley.

The Bottom Line on Cactus Bloom

Cactus Bloom is going to be the answer for a specific buyer who has been quietly underserved in Summerlin for six years.

The buyer who wants a single-story home with the space they actually need. Who wants luxury without going custom. Who wants to live in the most elevated and exclusive corner of Summerlin West. Who is not interested in resort-style amenities they will not use. Who is not willing to compromise on lot size or square footage to get into the newest neighborhood.

If that is you — start getting ready now.

This is going to be a hot ticket. Not because the marketing is going to be loud. Because the product is filling a six-year gap in the market — and the buyers who have been waiting are going to recognize it the second it shows up.

I do not want my clients ever saying “I wish I had known better.” Which is why I am writing this six months before sales open, so the right buyer has the time to actually get ready.

If you are considering Cactus Bloom — or any of the new construction coming to La Madre Peaks Village in Summerlin West — let’s talk before the sales office opens, not after.
