By huntington & ellis, A Real Estate Agency | Updated November 11, 2026
On October 27, 2026, 12057 Oakland Hills Drive, a single-story Southern Highlands golf course home on the ninth hole, closed at $3,150,000. It was the third time John Sullivan handled a sale of this home: he represented the buyer in 2017 for $1,200,000, the seller in 2023 and the buyer again in 2026. [1][2]
John’s connection to 12057 Oakland Hills Drive spans three transactions and two different roles. He first represented the buyer when the home sold for $1,200,000 in 2017. He returned to represent the seller in its $2,615,000 sale in May 2023, then represented the buyer again in October 2026. This feature compares the recorded sales, the home’s layout and the improvements described in the later listing. [1][2]
12057 Oakland Hills Drive at a glance
Consideration | 2023 sale | 2026 sale |
|---|---|---|
Sale price and date | $2,615,000, closed May 31, 2023 [2] | $3,150,000, closed October 27, 2026 [1] |
John Sullivan’s role | Listing agent for the seller [2] | Agent for the buyer [1] |
Price per square foot (4,113 sq ft) | About $636 | About $766 |
The home | 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, single story, built 2001, 10,890 sq ft lot, 3-car garage, golf course and mountain views [1][2] | |
Outdoor space | Heated negative-edge pool with waterfall, courtyard with gas fireplace [2] | Negative-edge pool and spa, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, artificial turf [1] |
HOA dues and property tax, as listed | $67/month HOA; $9,713/year tax [2] | $79/month HOA; $10,610/year tax [1] |
The 2026 price was $535,000, or about 20.5%, above the 2023 price, roughly three years and five months later. [1][2] That figure describes one home with substantial upgrades between sales, so it is not like-for-like with area-wide price trends and does not predict what any other Southern Highlands home will sell for. The home sits inside Southern Highlands, a 2,300-acre master-planned community built around a private golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. that opened in 2000. [5]
What changed between the 2023 and 2026 sales?
The structure stayed the same: 4,113 square feet on one level, on the same 10,890 square foot lot. [1][2] What changed was the work done inside and out. The 2026 listing describes new A/C units, a tankless water heater, a water softener and whole-home purification system, a reinsulated attic, Lutron lighting, Nest smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, new appliances, a new pool heater, a security system, fresh exterior paint and artificial turf. [1] It also lists a resort-style backyard with an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven, plus private guest quarters currently set up as a gym that could also work as an office or studio. [1]
The sale records do not isolate how much of the price difference came from improvements, market conditions or other factors. Buyers should ask for permits, warranties and receipts for the work, and sellers should keep those records organized. The listed improvements provide context, not a measured return on renovation spending.
What does a ninth-hole lot in Southern Highlands offer?
The home backs onto the ninth hole of Southern Highlands Golf Club, a private, 7,380-yard parkland-style course that has hosted PGA Tour events and the Toyota Men’s Collegiate Championship. [5] The listing notes golf course and mountain views, and the HOA amenities listed with the 2026 sale include a clubhouse, gated access, pickleball, tennis courts and a spa. [1] Golf club membership is a separate matter from HOA dues, so buyers should confirm membership options and costs directly with the club.
For total cost, look beyond the price: mortgage, property tax, insurance, HOA dues and any assessments, utilities, pool care and landscaping. Property tax for any parcel can be checked through the Clark County Assessor. [6]

How huntington & ellis would approach a Southern Highlands golf course sale
For sellers, we start with the property record: prior sale history, the upgrade list with documentation, HOA terms and recent comparable sales on similar lots. We then plan pricing, photography and showings around the features that set the home apart, such as lot position, layout and outdoor space. For buyers, we compare the specific home against recent sales, review HOA documents and club terms, check the parcel through the Clark County Assessor, and build a total monthly ownership estimate before an offer goes in.
