Lovers of the great outdoors should enjoy today's estate, a five-bedroom home in the River Valley Ranch community in Carbondale, Colorado that is being auctioned off on August 26 through Concierge Auctions. The home was originally listed for $1.85 million and no minimum bid is required to participate. The sale is being conducted in cooperation with listing broker and seller Daniel Bruder.

The home has views of Mount Sopris, River Valley Ranch Golf Course and Roaring Fork Valley. River Valley Ranch currently has 43 homes on the market so Bruder decided to go the auction route. The community is designed around the Jay Morrish Championship Golf Course and the Ranch House Swim and Tennis Club. It has over 250 acres of dedicated open space and is home to a conservation area with Bald eagle habitats.

The home was designed by architect Brad Jordan and uses rustic materials like barn wood, interior/exterior rock and knotty alder. The kitchen is surrounded by natural rock, rustic granite and is the centerpiece of the main floor living area. There is a private outdoor deck entered through French doors in the master bedroom. The top floor living area has a private library which offers perfect mountain views.

The onsite auction 4118 Crystal Bridge Drive will be held on Thursday, August 26 at 11 a.m. MDT. Proxy bidding is available, and a 2.5 percent commission is offered to the buyer's broker. For more information visit www.RiverValleyRanchAuction.com or call 866-605-7287.
