Filed under: Estates, Auctions

The latest auction from Concierge Auctions isn't a home, it's a whole resort. The real estate auction company has scheduled the sale of the Garnet Hill Lodge in the Adirondack Mountains. The Garnet Hill Lodge was originally listed for $2.5 million but the property, located at 39 Garnet Hill Road in North River, New York, will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price. The sale is being conducted in cooperation with listing agent Shane Newell of Select Sotheby's International Realty.

"Garnet Hill is a hidden gem - tucked away in the unspoiled wilderness in one of the least populated counties in the nation," Newell stated. "But make no mistake, these are the most realistic, determined sellers in upstate New York. Buyers searching for an operating mountain resort business or for a corporate or family retreat should not miss this opportunity."

The resort has views of the Thirteenth Lake with nearly 16,000 square feet of functional space on 268 acres. The buildings include a main lodge and two additional cabins. The large gathering room in the main lodge includes a reception desk and dining room with plenty of seating and natural light. Two additional lounges, a TV room and a four-season dining porch offer more private conversation areas and a grand stone fireplace is a natural gathering spot. There are 16 upstairs suites, nine of which have balconies. The current owners operate a ski center from the lodge but it could be a bed-and-breakfast or a private family estate.

Two additional cabins, Birches and the Tea House, could serve as guest houses. The Birches has five suites and a large gathering room with full kitchen and dining tables. The Tea House, a smaller sister cabin, contains four guest bedrooms with convenient en-suite bathrooms, each featuring Jacuzzi bathtubs. Both are just a short ski or hike from the main lodge.

The property will be available for preview daily from 1 to 4 pm through March 14. Bidders will be able to participate in the March 15 auction in person or via phone or Internet. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's broker. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details. For more information call 877-214-3785 or visit GarnetHillAuction.com.

Filed under: Estates, Auctions, Celebrity Shopping

Sheryl Crow was tired of waiting around for her Tennessee farm to sell and so she took auction. Crow, who listed her home back in May for $7.5 million, agreed to have Cross Creek Farm put up for auction but the auction closed on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 without the reserve having been met.

This "solar farm" and equestrian property of approximately 150 acres includes a 10,264 square-foot home. The property also features a 14-stall barn, indoor riding area and large pond. The three-story home has five bedrooms, a theatre room, with added spaces wired for a music studio incorporating additional living space, and a private in-law apartment or nanny quarters, as well as a three-bedroom guest house. In recent years auctions have become a popular way to speed up the selling process but it's no guarantee. Could we see a new listing and a price cut soon?

Dennis Kozlowski's Former Home Sells At Auction

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Estates

When I can I like to follow up with some of the results of the big real estate auctions we cover. Last month we mentioned a huge home in New Hampshire that would be auctioned off on November 9. Grand Estates Auction Co., was selling this home on 15 acres in North Hampton, New Hampshire. This property was once owned by infamous former Tyco International CEO Dennis Kozlowski. The current owner has been rebuilding the estate virtually from the foundation up for the last six years.

Seacoast Online reports that the 10,000-square-foot mansion sold for $4.2 million. The 15-acre property was assessed at $9.4 million. The article says that both the buyer and the seller were happy with the price. The info on the new owners hasn't been disclosed. There were 16 registered bidders taking part in the auction.

The home has been redone on a grand scale since Kozlowski's residence. An artist spent two years hand-painting walls and murals throughout the home's more than 10,000 square feet. There is a 1,600-plus-square-foot master suite that fills the entire third floor and has views of the ocean and marsh, complete with octagonal meditation room, en suite kitchen and laundry room, sitting room, and massive master bathroom featuring a handmade Egyptian chandelier.

The huge home has indoor and outdoor pools, spa, steam and sauna, fitness center, tennis court and cabana, massage and game rooms, and a home-theater wing with 13 oversized chairs and a concession stand. A smart home system controls all electronics, including indoor and outdoor security cameras and a dozen flat-screen televisions, at home or remotely. Geothermal heating and cooling, a heat recovery system, underground storage tanks to collect rainfall, and backup generators keep the home going, come what may. There are nine fireplaces, an elevator to all levels, gourmet kitchen with 14-foot, bi-level island and three guest suites including one with a nursery.

Astor Courts Fails To Sell At Auction

Filed under: Estates

In September we heard that the Astor Courts estate in Rhinebeck, New York, the property which hosted Chelsea Clinton's wedding, would be sold at auction. The was our estate of the day back in September 2009 and was listed for $12 million. Tranzon Asset Advisors, a national real estate auction firm, organized the auction in conjunction with H.H. Hill Realty Services of Rhinebeck, NY but the NY Post reports that the sealed-bid auction passed its October 14th deadline without yielding a buyer willing to pay above $7.5 million. The property is now back on the market with an $8.9 million list price.

The home was built at the turn of the century by John Jacob Astor, IV and his wife Ava. It was designed by Stanford White and was inspired by Louis XIV's Grand Trianon at Versailles, Astor Courts. The home was originally part of the Astor family's Ferncliff estate and Astor Courts (also known as the "Astor Casino" or "Ferncliff Casino") was designed as a guest lodge and sporting pavilion. The beautiful Beaux-Arts mansion was completed in 1904 and is on 50 acres. The expansive main living area has five bedrooms and spans over 15,000 square feet. The truly stunning details include the indoor clay tennis court topped with a glass ceiling and framed by Gothic arches and a white marble pool surrounded by arches and graced with a pale sky-blue ceiling.

In 1964 Brooke Astor gave the home to the Catholic Church. The current owners, real-estate developer Arthur Seelbinder and his wife, Kathleen Hammer, a former producer for Oxygen Media, bought the home in 2005 for $3.2 million and spent a fortune restoring it. Stanford White's great-grandson, Sam White led the restoration. The property is listed on the National Historic Register, and a Letter of Patent from New York State ensures access to the Hudson River in perpetuity and a Special Use Permit allows the property to be rented for corporate retreats, conferences and other functions.
