Concierge Auctions to sell 48-acre Los Angeles estate on June 28th

LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Auctions, a luxury real estate auction firm serving high-net-worth individuals worldwide, today announced the June 28^th auction of the Amber Hills compound in the affluent Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The auction will be conducted in cooperation with Jeff Hyland and Marcie Hartley of Hilton & Hyland, Joyce Rey and Linda May of Coldwell Banker, and John A. Woodward IV of Keller Williams. Amber Hills was originally offered for $40 million and will sell to the highest bidder above a $14.5 million reserve.

"Without a doubt, Amber Hills is one of the best properties on the entire west side of L.A. It has it all — total privacy, both ocean and canyon views, its own water well, and access to miles and miles of riding trails," stated Woodward.

With its private, idyllic setting, it's hard to imagine Amber Hills is just twenty miles from bustling downtown Los Angeles. Set among the lush botanical gardens and horseback riding trails of upper Mandeville Canyon, the luxurious estate offers the amenities of a country retreat without sacrificing the convenience of urban living. For this reason, one can see why the canyon has long been sought out by business executives, celebrities and polo players.

"Wandering the open grounds of Amber Hills evokes the sensations you'd more readily expect in Maui or Big Sur, not the middle of the second biggest city in the United States," said Hartley. "This type of property is beyond rare. Amber Hills isn't just another urban retreat. It's a private park."

Not only is the property convenient, but the 48-acre estate spread across the breathtaking Santa Monica Mountains is also mesmerizing. The entrance through the compound's majestic custom gate and then the quarter mile drive up the tree-lined entryway immediately bring forth the rejuvenating spirit of Amber Hills.

"Sited on 48 acres with a long private drive and exquisite landscaping that overlooks a private lake, Amber Hills is a one of a kind exclusive property offering the opportunity to build," said May. "The future owner of Amber Hills will be able to transform this beautiful and expansive land into a magnificent estate."  

"One of the most extraordinary features is the fabulous lake-like pond," stated Rey. "The fact that the zoning allows for horses is also notable. To have this much acreage with the ability to custom build equestrian amenities and take advantage of the surrounding miles of trails is a substantial selling point."

The property features five structures, including a 12,000-square-foot main residence, separate guest houses, a tennis court with pavilion, a caretaker's cottage, a workshop/maintenance building and ample space for horse corrals. The expansive landscape features rolling pathways, bridges, lush landscaping and extensive terraces. All complement the highlight of the grounds: the grandiose lake at the heart of the estate.

"Amber Hills has what every luxury buyer is looking for but can't find in Los Angeles," added Hyland.  "It's extremely rare to see this caliber of property come on the market, so the auction of Amber Hills is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for bidders."

"We're reviewing seller applications every day, including some of the finest properties in the world, and Amber Hills caught our attention at first glance. From the ocean views to the hiking trails to the sounds of a rushing waterfall, it truly is a magical place," stated Laura Brady, Founder and President of Concierge Auctions. "We sold the nearby Robert Taylor Ranch in 2012, so we know the area well. It's incredible that this private, quiet pocket of properties exists so close to the best of L.A."

The auction of Amber Hills, located at 3100 Mandeville Canyon Road in Los Angeles, California, will be held live on June 28^th. A 2% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. The property is open for preview daily from 1-4pm and by appointment. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details. For more information, call (212) 259-0518.
