Obsidian at Roma Hills Luxury Real Estate Overview
Obsidian is a small enclave of contemporary luxury homes inside Roma Hills, the guard-gated community in the McCullough Range foothills of southern Henderson. Built by Blue Heron, the Las Vegas design-build firm known for its modern desert architecture, Obsidian adds a second gate inside Roma Hills and a very different look from the classic Mediterranean estates around it: walls of glass, flat rooflines, indoor-outdoor great rooms, and resort-style yards built around views of the Strip and the valley.
This guide covers where Obsidian sits, what the homes are like, how the HOA structure works, what drives value here, and how we help clients buy and sell in this enclave.
Location and Getting Around
Obsidian lies in the 89012 ZIP code in the southeast part of Roma Hills, in the MacDonald Ranch area of Henderson. Streets inside the enclave include Dragons Eye Drive, Lapis Ledge Court, Diamond Rim Court, and Magnum Cliff Court. To reach it, residents pass through the Roma Hills gate and then the Obsidian gate. The Interstate 215 corridor, The District at Green Valley Ranch, and the shops along Horizon Ridge Parkway are a short drive away, and the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport are reachable by freeway. See our Henderson guide for the wider city picture, along with our pages on MacDonald Highlands and Ascaya.
Lifestyle and Amenities
Obsidian is built for privacy and views. The enclave is small, the streets are short courts and loops with almost no traffic, and the double gate adds a layer of separation from the rest of Roma Hills. Daily life outside the gates draws on Henderson's parks and trail network, nearby golf, and the dining and entertainment of the Green Valley Ranch area. Many owners use their homes as a primary residence, while others value the lock-and-leave ease of a newer, lower-maintenance home with desert landscaping.
Homes and Architecture
Obsidian homes are single-family modern residences by Blue Heron. Recent listings describe homes built in 2020 and 2024 with roughly 6,300 to 7,700 square feet of living space on lots of about three-quarters of an acre to just over an acre. Common features in those listings include great rooms that open fully to the outdoors with pocket sliding doors, linear fireplaces, glass wine displays, vanishing-edge or infinity-edge pools, covered outdoor kitchens, casitas, four-car garages, and smart-home and security systems. Primary suites on the main level are common.
Because the homes are newer and share a design language, buyers often compare Obsidian homes on view, lot size, floor plan, and finish level rather than age or condition. Strip-facing lots and homes with uninterrupted valley views typically sit at the top of the range.
Price Context and HOA Structure
In September 2026, one listings site reported five active Obsidian listings with a median asking price of $6,250,000. Asking prices are not sale prices, so we always pair them with closed sales before advising on value. Listings also show two separate associations billing Obsidian homes, which together came to about $515 per month in recent listings. Confirm current dues in the resale package.
For a regional benchmark, Las Vegas REALTORS (LVR) reported a median sale price of $470,000 for existing single-family homes in Southern Nevada in September 2026, unchanged from September 2025 and below the record of $490,000 set in May and June 2026. Luxury homes in this community typically trade well above that regional figure, so ask us for a current comparable-sales report before you set a budget or a list price.
What to Look For Before You Buy
With a small number of homes, each sale in Obsidian carries weight, so we look closely at how a home compares with the few recent closings inside the enclave and with modern homes in Ascaya and MacDonald Highlands. We review both HOA resale packages, design guidelines for future changes, any remaining builder warranty, the solar and smart-home equipment, and how nearby vacant lots or future construction might affect a view. For sellers, we focus on presenting the view and the indoor-outdoor living clearly, because those are the features buyers pay for here.
Schools
Public schools serving Obsidian at Roma Hills are part of the Clark County School District (CCSD). School zoning can change and can differ from one street or building to the next, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific address directly with CCSD before you buy. Families also look at private and charter options nearby, and we are happy to share what other clients have considered.
Why Work With The Gorton Group in Obsidian at Roma Hills
The Gorton Group is a Las Vegas luxury real estate team led by Michael Gorton. Communities like Obsidian at Roma Hills reward local knowledge: two homes in the same enclave can differ widely in lot position, view, remodel quality, and HOA details, and those differences rarely show up in a portal estimate. We help buyers compare homes side by side, read the HOA and club documents carefully, and understand how a specific lot and street have traded over time.
For sellers, we build pricing on real comparable sales, prepare the home so its best features show clearly, and market it to the buyers most likely to value what makes it different. Learn more on our buyer and seller pages, read our luxury market report, or browse past sales.
