Both auctions, scheduled for February 9^th, are part of an Arizona Portfolio Sale held in cooperation with Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty and coinciding with two of the world's most renowned car auctions, hosted by Barrett-Jackson and RM Sotheby's in Scottsdale and Phoenix, respectively, between January 13th – 21st. In addition to preview events at each property, a VIP Auction Reception will be held at The Phoenician, one of Scottsdale's most luxurious resorts, on January 31^st. The event will provide prospective clients, their agents, and the brokerage community at large an in-person demonstration of Concierge Auctions' online bidding platform and information about each property.

"As the Arizona market already embraces luxury car, art, and antique auctions, our Arizona collection is the perfect opportunity for synergistic buyers. Plus, we have a proven track record of success with our luxury real estate auctions in the greater Phoenix area," said Concierge Auctions Senior Vice President of Business Development Nick Leonard. "Our upcoming properties in the sale are sure to impress. We encourage prospective buyers and interested agents to preview the properties and attend the reception this month to learn more about the Concierge Auctions process."

Miami Beach, Florida — January 31, 2018

Previously listed for $65 million, this 20,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style waterfront estate built by Indianapolis "Indy" 500 Founder Carl Fisher is located in the prestigious Star Island section of Miami Beach at 46 Star Island Drive.

The historic masterpiece – boasting a total of 40 rooms, including 10 bedrooms – was built in 1924 and fully renovated with modern finishings in 2017. It is comprised of a grand ballroom-sized living room with the original vaulted ceiling; a modern kitchen offering a marble-topped island with seating and commercial-grade appliances; a master sanctuary equipped with a private balcony, sitting area, spa bath, custom dressing room, and soaking tub; a casual lounge/game room with a wet bar; a 3,000-bottle wine cellar; three home offices; an exercise room; staff quarters; and a sunroom with antique tile floors, intricate columns, and wood ceilings.

Additional interior features include soaring ceilings, wide-plank hardwood and marble floors, clerestory and arched casement windows, wall frescos, a fireplace, and a grand double-sided staircase.

Home to only a few dozen homes, Star Island is centrally positioned near Miami and Miami Beach, offering extensive city and bay views along with premier shopping and dining options.

"It has been a wonderful experience, a wonderful place to live," stated the seller, Marco Iacovelli, who purchased the home nearly 30 years ago. "It is an important and historic home in Star Island, which by all accounts is the ideal place to live. We personally no longer need the space, and are confident the Concierge Auctions' process will identify the right new owner on auction day."

The impressive estate will sell Without Reserve in cooperation with Alexa Iacovelli and Mirce Curkoski of ONE Sotheby's International Realty.

Outside, the property comes with an elevated pool and hot tub, a lush courtyard, tropical landscaping, and a pond. Hale Ohia Kai was previously listed for $3.887 million.

"Between its Bali-inspired design including local Ohia hardwood features throughout, and its 180-degree ocean views, it's hard not to fall in love with Hale Ohia Kai," Ripley stated. "It's indoor/outdoor living at its finest, including a large lanai, saltwater infinity pool, and spa. The property is minutes from town, but the exclusivity of the community makes you feel like you are miles away from anything. It's a rare opportunity sure to create a bidding war on auction day."

Located adjacent to Hale Ohia Kai is Lot 6, set on .36 prime buildable acres of oceanfront land offering pristine views of Holualoa Bay and the area's lush landscape. It was last listed for $987,000.
