Las Vegas draws spring breakers, bachelorette parties, and high rollers with its blend of gambling, iconic shows, nightlife, and indulgent dining along the Strip. World-famous for rowdy fun, rarely does the city evoke the words meditative, zen, or oasis. Yet this futuristic modern with mountain views offers a striking counterpoint: A serene retreat away from the lively chaos.
It belongs to comedian Jo Koy, best known for his unfiltered stand-up, his Netflix specials, and for gigs like hosting the Golden Globes. Koy spent part of his early life and career in Las Vegas, so this area isn’t just another showbiz stop. It seems to particularly feel like home to him. Newly listed for $11.2 million, his sculptural Las Vegas residence sitting on half an acre provides a stunning blend of organic modernism and warm “zen-like” textures contrasting its brutalist exterior. It sits within The Ridges gated community in Summerlin, one of the city’s most expensive neighborhoods, according to the listing.
Serving up six bedrooms and eight bathrooms across 8,244 square feet, the desert estate is comprised of a four-bedroom main house and a two-bedroom guest house. Inside, guests enter through the second level, where the open floor plan introduces both the dining room and living room. An abundance of natural light pours into the spaces, and its neutral palette draws on an elemental theme through materials like stone, marble, and granite. A functional two-story sculpture made of lightbulbs hangs in the staircase leading up to the top floor, where the bedrooms, including the primary suite, are situated. A separate staircase clad in trunk-like wood spirals down to the “moodier” lower level with exposed stone walls, which is a host’s dream, consisting of a full bar, sitting area, and wine cellar. Architect Eric Strain at Assemblage Studio devised the design feat.
There are several symmetrically landscaped courtyards across the property for basking in the dry, desert heat. Other outdoor amenities include an infinity-edge pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a rooftop deck where you can take in the city lights. Ivan Sher of IS Luxury represents the listing.
