Aspen's first Gold LEED- certified home is being sold off through Concierge Auctions live, on-site auction on January 28th through Concierge Auctions. The home was originally listed for $13.975 million but there is no minimum bid required to participate. The sale is being conducted in cooperation with listing agent Wendy Lucas of Wendy Lucas Aspen who states that her clients are "the most motivated sellers in Aspen and are committed to finding a new owner on January 28th."

The 6,750-square-foot residence combines luxury living with green efficiencies. It has six bedrooms and is on 2.33 acres in the W/J Subdivision on McLain Flats, with 360-degree views of Aspen Mountain, Snowmass Mountain, Capitol Peak, Mt. Daly, the Upper Roaring Fork Valley and hundreds of acres of adjacent dedicated open pasture lands.

The living room of the home features custom metalwork by Bridger Steel, native rock from the Telluride Stone Company and earthen plaster by American Clay. NanaWall sliding glass doors form two opposite walls of the room, showcasing mountain views. The master suite takes up nearly one third of the first floor and has a walk-in closet and spa bathroom with sunken soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. The upper level is comprised of four bedroom suites and a media room surrounding a game room and bar.

Energy-efficiency building techniques included spray-in foam insulation, geothermal heating and cooling, Low-E windows and Timberstrand engineered framing systems. On the exterior reclaimed siding, solar hot water panels and steel standing seam roofing add to the home's green cred.

Absentee bidding is available via phone and Internet, and a 3% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details. The property is open for preview daily from 1pm to 4pm and by appointment. To schedule a preview call 877-463-5280, or for more information visit www.AuctionAspen.com.
