Mountain Trails Half Acre Lots Summerlin

by Ryan Rose

Mountain Trails is one of the only communities in Summerlin where every home sits on a minimum half acre lot. Known locally as "Half Acres," this guard gated neighborhood of 103 custom residences in The Trails Village offers lot sizes that are three to four times larger than the typical Summerlin property.

How Large Are the Half Acre Lots in Mountain Trails?

A half acre equals approximately 21,780 square feet of land, and every homesite in Mountain Trails meets or exceeds this minimum. Several properties in the community span a full acre, providing over 43,000 square feet. By comparison, standard Summerlin lots typically range from 5,000 to 8,000 square feet, making Mountain Trails lots roughly three to four times larger.

This generous land allocation allows for features rarely seen in Las Vegas subdivisions: full size motor courts, resort style pools with water features, detached guest casitas, sport courts, and extensive desert or tropical landscaping. Homes on these lots range from 3,758 to 13,106 square feet, leaving substantial open space even on the largest builds.

Why Are Half Acre Lots Rare in Summerlin?

As Summerlin has expanded westward, newer communities have trended toward smaller lot sizes to maximize the number of homes per acre. Guard gated neighborhoods developed in the 2010s and 2020s typically offer lots between 8,000 and 15,000 square feet. Mountain Trails, built between 1996 and 2004, was developed during a period when land was more available and large lot custom communities were more common.

The community is fully built out with no vacant land remaining, which means the 103 existing half acre and larger lots represent a fixed, irreplaceable inventory within Summerlin. Current home prices range from approximately $1,000,000 to over $5,000,000, with the median near $2,640,000. The 24 hour guard gate with entry by appointment adds security and exclusivity to the community.

A Local Perspective on Mountain Trails Half Acre Living

Ryan Rose, a Las Vegas real estate specialist, frequently highlights Mountain Trails as the top option for buyers who prioritize land and privacy within Summerlin. The half acre minimum creates a neighborhood feel that is closer to a rural estate community than a typical Las Vegas suburb, all while remaining minutes from Downtown Summerlin, Red Rock Canyon, and major commuter routes.
