Scots Pine Stonebridge Village Summerlin: Luxury Gated Ranch Homes
What if a newer, gated Summerlin community offered every home on one level, without making you give up square footage or newer construction? That is Scots Pine, a gated all-single-story, ranch-style community in the Stonebridge village of Summerlin West, built by Richmond American Homes. It opened around mid-2019, both phases have since delivered, and today it is an established resale community rather than a new-home sales campus. Here is the grounded guide to the homes, the village setting and what to compare when you shop resale.
Quick Takeaways
- Scots Pine is a gated, all-single-story community in the Stonebridge village of Summerlin West, built by Richmond American Homes.
- It opened around mid-2019 (reported context); both the original phase and a later phase have delivered within the same gated setting, so buying today means resale shopping.
- The original model lineup offered four floor plans, with reported sizes from roughly 3,370 up to 4,010 square feet, three to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half baths (reported ranges, approximate).
- Designer finishes, open layouts and generous single-floor living were the hallmarks, with desert-appropriate landscaping typical of newer Summerlin neighborhoods (reported context).
- Stonebridge is a roughly 500-acre village (reported) on Summerlin's western edge; Scots Pine sits on the eastern side near the Summerlin Parkway/215 corridor, a short drive from shopping, dining and the Summerlin centers.
- I do not quote prices here: pricing varied by plan, phase and lot and changed over time, so the number that matters comes from current comparable sales, not an old price sheet.
What is Scots Pine in Stonebridge?
Scots Pine is a gated community of detached, single-story luxury homes built by Richmond American Homes inside the Stonebridge village of Summerlin West. The defining feature is the layout: every home is a ranch-style residence on one level. That is genuinely distinctive in this part of the valley, because all-single-story communities are uncommon in Summerlin's newer villages, where most builders mix one- and two-story plans (reported context).
The community opened around mid-2019 (reported context). The original phase offered four floor plans, with reported sizes from roughly 3,370 up to 4,010 square feet, three to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms across the model lineup (reported ranges, approximate). A later phase followed the original, and both phases have delivered within the same gated setting. Designer finishes, open layouts and generous single-floor living were the hallmarks, and the yards carry the desert-appropriate landscaping typical of newer Summerlin neighborhoods (reported context).
I am deliberately not quoting prices or leading with price per square foot here. Pricing varied by plan, by phase, by lot and by location within the village, and it changed over time as the builder released phases and as resales have come onto the market. The right number for any specific home comes from current comparable sales, not from what the builder once asked or what a neighbor's sale did last year.
What is the Stonebridge setting like?
Stonebridge is one of Summerlin's newer villages, a roughly 500-acre district (reported) on the master plan's western edge, built on elevated topography with a desert-inspired Prairie Highland design theme (reported context). It is not a single-builder story: the village contains a number of neighborhoods built by different builders, and Scots Pine sits alongside neighbors like Starling, Foxtail, Bristle Vale, Caledonia, Bixby Creek, Sandalwood, Graycliff, Westcott and Bristlecone. The shared design theme ties architecture and landscaping to the Mojave surroundings, so there is a visual consistency across the neighborhood that older parts of the valley do not have.
The location is most of the appeal. Scots Pine sits in the eastern part of the village near the Summerlin Parkway/215 side (reported context, described generally), which puts it a short drive from the shopping, dining and entertainment in the Summerlin centers while keeping freeway access easy for getting across the valley. From the elevated ground come open desert skies, mountain backdrops and, on many lots, real views rather than rooftop-to-rooftop sightlines. For the full picture of the village, its builders, its parks and its progress, see the permanent Stonebridge village guide.
What does an established community mean for Scots Pine buyers?
Because both of Scots Pine's phases have delivered, the community has moved past its opening chapter and into its established chapter. That shows up in the details: mature landscaping has had years to fill in, the streets have settled into a lived-in rhythm, and the resale market is the typical way in. Buyers here shop resale condition, upgrades and lots rather than a floor plan catalog, and they negotiate with owners rather than a builder's sales office.
Two phases also means the homes are not all identical in age. Homes from the original phase carry a few more years of wear and landscaping maturity than the later phase, so build year and condition vary property by property. That makes due diligence the same as any resale purchase: current comparable sales, a qualified inspection, HOA documents and a clear read on what any specific home's upgrades and lot are actually worth. It is a very different shopping process from standing in a model and picking a homesite, and it rewards buyers who compare rather than rush.
Who is Scots Pine a good fit for?
Scots Pine suits buyers who want single-story, ranch-style living in Summerlin without sacrificing size or newer construction, and who are comfortable shopping a mature community where every home has a history. Because most of the buying is resale, you can walk the finished homes, the landscaping and the neighborhood before you commit.
- Buyers who want one-level, ranch-style living in a newer Summerlin home without giving up square footage.
- People who want a gated newer community that has moved past its opening phase, with established landscaping and a known track record.
- Those who value proximity to Summerlin's amenities and easy freeway access along the Summerlin Parkway/215 side of the village.
- Buyers at many stages of life who know one-level living fits how they use a home now and expect it to for years to come.
It fits less well if you specifically want a two-story layout, a much smaller footprint than this community offers, or the experience of buying direct from a builder with a fresh price sheet and new-home incentives. Those are legitimate preferences; the trick is knowing which you are actually shopping for before you fall for a specific house.
What should you compare when buying resale in Scots Pine?
Resale shopping in a newer gated community is a series of comparisons, not a single decision. Here is the checklist I walk through with buyers, and it is the same one I would use for any established Stonebridge neighborhood.
| What to check | What to look at | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Recent sales data | What comparable Scots Pine homes actually closed for, not what they asked | Is the list price supported by current closed sales and active listings in the community? |
| Condition | Builder-era systems and finishes carry years of real wear: HVAC, roof, water heater, windows | What would a qualified inspection add to the price conversation, even in a newer home? |
| Upgrades and landscaping | Owners finished and landscaped differently; two resales in the same plan can feel very different | How much are the installed upgrades and the yard actually worth on today's market? |
| HOA documents | Neighborhood HOA dues plus the Summerlin master association assessment | What are the current fees, reserves, gate rules and any special assessments for the exact property? |
| Lot orientation and views | Homesite placement changes light, privacy and outlook on the village's elevated ground | Does the orientation and the view justify the price compared with a similar home in the community? |
| Other Stonebridge communities | Starling, Foxtail, Bristle Vale, Caledonia, Bixby Creek, Sandalwood, Graycliff, Westcott and Bristlecone resales | What do you give up and what do you gain by choosing across those communities versus Scots Pine? |
| Inspection | Resale is resale even in a newer community: have the home, the systems and the roof checked | What does the inspector's report say, and how should it shape the offer? |
The practical rule in an established community is to verify everything against current evidence. HOA fees get checked per community, from the actual documents, because amounts vary and change. Comps get checked against recent closed sales, not asking prices, because two resales in the same plan can price very differently on condition, upgrades and lot. Views and orientation get judged from the specific property, not from the neighborhood's reputation. And the inspection gets done like any resale purchase, warranty or no warranty. None of that is about being pessimistic; it is about making sure the number you pay is supported by what the evidence actually shows. That is how I work, and it is what my background taught me: the evidence comes first.

How does Sandy help buyers in Scots Pine and Stonebridge?
I know Stonebridge neighborhood by neighborhood: Scots Pine, Starling, Foxtail, Caledonia, Bristle Vale, Bixby Creek, Sandalwood, Graycliff, Westcott, Bristlecone and the rest. I track the resales moving through Summerlin's newer villages as they come up, so I can show you what a specific home's upgrades, layout and views are really worth on today's market, compare one Scots Pine resale against another, and put the established Stonebridge communities side by side with what is still selling new elsewhere in the village.
My perspective comes from more than 36 years in Las Vegas real estate, including roughly 20 years early in my career as a licensed residential real estate appraiser, a license I gave up in 2013. That background taught me to read comparable sales, condition, location and market behavior instead of taking a price at face value. Today, as a Certified AI Agent, I use modern tools to sharpen the research and the analysis, but the job stays the same: your interests come first.
That means showing you what the market is actually telling us, even when the answer is not what you hoped to hear. My job is to educate you so you can make an informed decision, not to move you through a transaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Scots Pine a gated community?
A: Yes, as reported. Scots Pine is a gated community of detached, single-story homes in the Stonebridge village of Summerlin West, built by Richmond American Homes. Reports describe it as gated rather than guard-gated, so verify the current access arrangements and any gate-related fees in the HOA documents for the specific home before making an offer.
Q: Is Scots Pine an all-single-story community?
A: Yes, as reported. Every home in Scots Pine is a single-story, ranch-style home, which is what makes the community distinctive: all-single-story neighborhoods are uncommon in Summerlin's newer villages, where most builders mix one- and two-story plans. Any home you shop here is on one level.
Q: How big are the homes in Scots Pine?
A: The original phase of Scots Pine offered four floor plans with reported sizes from roughly 3,370 up to 4,010 square feet, with three to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms across the model lineup (reported ranges, approximate). Verify the exact square footage and layout for any specific home against county records and the plans, because reported builder sizes and recorded sizes can differ slightly.
Q: Is Scots Pine new construction or resale?
A: Scots Pine opened around mid-2019 (reported context), and both the original phase and a later phase have now delivered, so buying today happens on the resale market. That means established landscaping, installed upgrades and a community track record, and it also means due diligence is the same as any resale purchase: condition, systems, HOA documents and current comparable sales.
Q: Do Scots Pine homes have HOA fees?
A: Yes. Homes in Scots Pine are subject to neighborhood HOA dues plus the Summerlin master association assessment, as is true across Summerlin. Amounts vary by community and change over time, so verify the current fees and any reserves or special assessments in the HOA documents for the exact property.
Q: Where is Scots Pine in relation to Summerlin's amenities?
A: Scots Pine sits in the eastern part of the Stonebridge village, near the Summerlin Parkway/215 side (reported context, described generally). That puts it a short drive from the shopping, dining and entertainment in the Summerlin centers, with easy freeway access for getting across the valley. Drive times vary with traffic and route, so check the specific commute yourself.
Q: How does Scots Pine compare to other Stonebridge communities?
A: Stonebridge contains a number of resale communities built by different builders, including Starling, Foxtail, Bristle Vale, Caledonia, Bixby Creek, Sandalwood, Graycliff, Westcott and Bristlecone. Scots Pine is the community to start from if one-level living is the priority: virtually all of its homes are single-story ranches. The right choice depends on the layout, size, builder and lot that fit your life, so compare the communities side by side on current resales rather than on reputation alone.
Q: Should I use my own agent when buying in Scots Pine?
A: Yes. Whether you shop a resale in Scots Pine or walk into a builder's sales office anywhere in Summerlin, have your own buyer's agent involved from the start so you can compare neighborhoods, review pricing and upgrades, understand the offer and purchase agreement, and keep your interests protected.
