Oscar De La Hoya, a former boxing champion, has put his 9,000-square-foot Nevada property up for $20 million.
The 9,000 square foot home in the Henderson hills, designed by Blue Heron, a renowned local builder of high-tech mansions, has a view of the surrounding mountains and Las Vegas. Situated on Dragon Peak Drive at the end of a cul-de-sac within a gated community, this single-story residence boasts 2,409 square feet of outdoor living space and sits on almost an acre of land.
The Wall Street Journal revealed in February that De La Hoya, 51, an Olympic gold medalist dubbed the Golden Boy, paid $14.6 million for the five-bedroom house in 2022 when it was still under construction. Within the master-planned MacDonald Highlands complex, where LoanDepot founder Anthony Hsieh bought a $25 million home in 2020, breaking a record for Las Vegas, sits the mansion, which is part of premium builder Blue Heron’s Equinox Collection.
“ It’s all on one level which makes it very unique, which 270 degree views of the valley below ” said Zar Zanganeh of Agency Las Vegas, who is marketing the property.
The single-level construction with automated pocket-doors and sliding glass walls makes for seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living—eliminating the distance from the interior living spaces to the multiple pools, lounge areas and fire pits set into the desert hills outside.
De La Hoya is currently a boxing promoter through his company Golden Boy Promotions. Throughout his professional boxing career, which spanned from 1991 until his retirement in 2009, he won 11 world titles in six different weight classes.
He intends to remain in the Las Vegas area and build an even bigger home, according to Zanganeh. De La Hoya did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Home sales have been moving fairly briskly in the Las Vegas and Henderson areas, with the median price of a single-family home hitting $425,000 in March, up 6.5% from the previous year, according to data from Redfin. On the luxury end, close to 200 homes sold above $1 million in April, with an inventory of 785 available homes at that price, according to Las Vegas realtor Debbie Drummond. The most expensive deal in the region in April was a $12.5 million sale in the Ridges of Summerlin.
