Our quest for luxury real estate auctions doesn't generally take us this far north. Today's home, which will be auctioned off on August 12, is located on the banks of Cook Inlet and the mouth of the Kenai River in Alaska. This home is on nearly 12 acres and has around 815 feet of beachfront property. The Victorian home is four stories and provides sights of Tustamena, Mt. Lilliamna, Mt. Redoubt, and Mt. Spur mountains. The four-bedroom home has oak and marble flooring throughout and four fireplaces. Other details include a formal dining room, gourmet kitchen and a cozy circular entertainment room. The master suite has a personal fireplace, sitting room and a master bath with a jetted tub. One particularly charming detail is the fourth floor turret with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the surrounding mountain ranges. It's a perfect place for an office or retreat. The land also includes a three-car garage, two outbuildings, and an airplane hangar and landing strip. It is being auctioned off through J.P. King.

Speechless.
Almost. No man has ever lived here, right?

Not even if they paid me!

ummm ok, that house needs some major decorating. What's with the creepy stuffed animals in what looks like a 1970's swinging room.

It's Alaska, folks. In those long winters, when the sun isn't out for very long each day, all of that color can perk you right up.

Think Sweden - same principle. Bright colors, lots of windows and fireplaces help.

Lots of good friends and heavy drinking keep the cabin fever and SAD at manageable levels.

Just goes to prove that money can't buy taste or class.

Rather silly to have such a huge master bedroom with fireplace and so little furnitre.

What is with the rose and turquoise bedroom? How ugly is that?

And the big 4 poster bed AND a daybed? Geesh, too tire to get up and walk a few feet and get in bed, just pull cover down and sleep on day bed.

The kitchen, the office and the hot tub were the only rooms that made any sense.

Too many McMansions are being built by the noveau riche and rooms too big. Who wants a combination bedroom/living room?

Why would you have enough pieces of furniture for 4 to 6 people to sit on in your bedroom?
