Woodycreek, Colorado: Today, Erik Cavarra showcases a NEW Property Set for Auction within the Aspen/Snwomass Areas…
“Resplendent with grandeur reminiscent of national park lodges, landscaped to perfection and set against red rock spires in Snowmass Canyon, the magnificent Meanwhile Ranch will sell at a live auction” on June 21, New York-based Concierge Auctions announced in a press release this week.
Located 13 miles from downtown Aspen, the sprawling 56-acre property is the latest luxury property to go up for auction — a process some real estate brokers say is becoming more prevalent as sellers look for alternatives to the traditional sales process in the U.S. market.
Located at 1621 Lower River Road, Meanwhile Ranch is currently listed for $27.5 million and will sell to the highest bidder in cooperation with Joshua & Co., an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, with a pre-sale estimate of $10 million to $20 million.
“Meanwhile Ranch is an exquisite taste of western life, with beautifully-preserved, luxurious accommodations,” Joshua Saslove, broker/owner of Joshua & Co., said in a press release. “The estate can never be replicated under current zoning policies, making it a truly unique Aspen property. I had the pleasure and excitement of representing a successful buyer at a prior Concierge auction of Fox Crossing in Aspen, and I look forward to working with Concierge Auctions on the selling side with this transaction.”
The main residence spans 12,000-square-feet and offers four bedrooms, five full and two half bathrooms. Introduced by a grand entry with a fireplace, the home also features a great room inspired by Yosemite’s Ahwahnee Lodge and Yellowstone’s Old Faithful Inn; a large, commercial-grade kitchen complete with antique San Francisco street lamps; a dream cineaste’s theater; and media, game and wine rooms. The expansive two-story, 3,000-square-foot great room features a 35-foot-high ceiling anchored by a six-by-eight-foot chandelier and a dramatic, six-foot-high fireplace crafted of multiple-ton boulders. The library runs along a three-sided balcony overlooking the great room, offering views of the beamed ceiling.
The estate includes two caretaker apartments with two and three bedrooms respectively, as well as a one-bedroom settler’s cabin, built in 1888. Additionally, a new 3,000-square-foot guest home has recently been completed on the site of the original 1911 guest quarters.
The property also offers a new, 7,000-square-foot equestrian facility, a three-stall barn with tack room, a 1,000-sqaure-foot workshop and auto showroom and other ranch buildings including a silo, a hay barn and multiple loafing sheds. Completing the ranch are fenced grazing pastures, an outdoor riding ring and roping pen, a tree-lined entry and senior water rights for irrigation and the care of ranch animals.
