This mansion in Henderson, Nevada, sold Thursday for close to $15 million.
A lavish mansion outside of Las Vegas that has a swimming pool three times the size of the typical U.S. home has sold for $14.69 million.
Thursday's sale in the city of Henderson, Nevada, marked the second-most expensive home sold in the wider Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area, and the most expensive single-family home to change hands in the area so far this year, according to sale records with Zillow.

Built in 2018, Villa Azul is a sprawling single-story spread that embraces "indoor/outdoor living with many pocket doors to create the most luxurious atmosphere while enjoying the most exquisite views of the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding mountains," according to the listing with Dan Coletti, of Sun West Luxury Realty, and who owns Sun West Custom Homes, which built the property.
A request sent to the firm for comment wasn't immediately returned.
Set in the city's exclusive Ascaya community, the more than 12,000-square-foot contemporary home is surrounded by a 5,900-square-foot swimming pool.
That's more than three times the size of the typical home that found a buyer in May, a metric that stood at 1,755 square feet, according to data from online property portal Redfin.
Along with its gargantuan pool, the six-bedroom home has a wealth of upscale amenities including walls of windows, a game room, a theater, a sport court, an outside kitchen, a cold plunge pool, a putting green and a six-car garage, the listing said.

The Las Vegas metropolitan area has seen sale prices surge over the past 12 months, up 18.4% to a median of $355,000 in the year to May, according to Redfin.
One of the major contributing factors to the increase is the popularity of the city among out-of-towners. Las Vegas ranked as the second-most popular destination for migrating Americans last month, with more than half of the searches for homes in the metro coming from out of state, Redfin said.
A deed for Villa Azul's Thursday sale has yet to hit public property records, and as such Mansion Global could not determine the buyer of the home.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported the sale.
