Description
Infrastructure for the Ascaya luxury home development, including mailboxes like this one along Cloudrock Court, power, gas, and roads was completed before sales of lots began. This has created the unusual site of having an entire master planned community built but no homes or residents. Ascaya, carved into the McCullough Mountain range in Henderson, Nevada, was completed with materials mined from the site.
