SUN VALLEY, Idaho, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Welcome to the
first and last property of its kind, an irreplaceable residential
compound with 71.3 secluded acres, bordered by 2,100 feet of river
frontage and the towering slopes of Bald Mountain, just minutes
from the Sun Valley Resort. Previously listed for $59.5 million, Big Wood River Estate is estimated
to sell between $30 million and $50
million. The auction will be conducted without reserve on
August 19th in cooperation with
David Hutchinson of Thunder Spring
Real Estate.
"Having spent over 10 years selling real estate in the West, I
have seen properties sell for over $40
million that have a fraction of what Big Wood River Estate
offers," stated Concierge Auctions VP Mike Russo. "I speak from
experience when I say that the privacy, proximity and acreage of
this extraordinary property is truly unique."
With three distinct timber and rock residential
structures -- a main house with service quarters; a
separate guest house overlooking an idyllic reflecting pond; and a
charming gate house at the private entrance -- Big Wood River
Estate was built to enjoy and entertain. Designed by renowned
architect Alan Wanzenberg, the homes
reflect the ease and charm of small town living with the
sophistication of timeless mountain design.
The property's 71.3 acres -- the majority of which is
improved and impeccably maintained -- are surrounded by a sea
of untouched private land and include nine original lots, with
plenty of space to add additional structures, ideal for expansion
for an even larger family compound or corporate retreat, and
natural, spring-fed ponds.
Stargazing on quiet evenings; roasting s'mores by the campfire;
and casting lines into the rapids just steps from your back
door -- all are at your fingertips. Or, pack a lunch and
head outdoors, where endless recreation is within reach at a
moment's notice, including Sun
Valley's world-class skiing throughout the winter months,
and invigorating hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and more
come warmer weather.
Once a historic mining community, Sun
Valley is now an eclectic, arts and outdoor-driven hub with
first-class spas and resorts, trend-setting eateries and both local
and big name performers. The area is world-renowned for its Nordic
skiing trail system, with 200 kilometers of groomed trails. Bald
Mountain boasts a 3,400-foot vertical drop and 2,000 skiable acres,
while Dollar Mountain is a more family-friendly alternative. The
area also offers more than 30 miles of paved bike paths as well as
hundreds of miles of single-track mountain bike trails.

For Whom the Bell Tolls while staying at the Sun Valley
Lodge in the fall of 1939, and other well-known visitors have
followed suit through the years, ranging from Clark Gable and Marilyn
Monroe to the Kennedy family and dozens of modern-day
celebrities and business moguls.
"There are so many amazing properties in the Sun Valley area, but this is the creme de la
creme. It's the number one," stated Bryant
Dunn, owner of Sun Valley Outfitters. "Sun Valley is a remarkable place to raise a
family. The community is made up of well-traveled, highly-educated
people, and there are a lot of things to do for fun, from hiking
and fly fishing to rafting and mountain biking, and of course
there's the world-class skiing in the winter time. There's no other
place that I would wish to call home."
Concierge Auctions will host a preview event at the property on
July 23rd between 4 and 7pm. Private previews will be
available to serious, qualified prospects by appointment only.
Participants must RSVP by calling (212) 257-5018. The auction will
be held on August 19th.
