Platinum Luxury Auctions Offers Roaring Fork Valley Ranch In Basalt, Colorado

BASALT, Colo., Oct. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Platinum Luxury Auctions, a firm specializing in the sale of multimillion-dollar properties nationwide, has announced the November 1st auction of a private ranch estate in Basalt, Colorado. Located just 25 minutes from star-studded Aspen, the property was previously offered for $3 million but will now be sold to the highest bidder at or above the auction's reserve price of $1 million. Platinum is managing the sale in cooperation with listing brokerage Alpine Real Estate, Inc., represented by listing broker Erik Cavarra.

"Although the Aspen and Snowmass Village markets grab most of the headlines, Basalt is a wonderful and vibrant community in the Roaring Fork marketplace," said Aaron Carmody, a Platinum executive and the project manager for the sale. "The property is centrally located in Basalt, with big mountain views from every vantage. World-class skiing, golfing, and fishing venues are all nearby."

Sitting on a largely flat, 30-acre parcel in the Red Rock Ranch neighborhood, the property embodies the serenity of the region nestled between the majestic Sopris and Basalt mountains. The 5 bedroom, 3.5-bath home was designed by renowned Aspen architect Charles Cunniffe, and offers more than 4,500 interior square feet on two living levels. The residence features an open layout with vaulted, exposed beam ceilings, ample natural light, and rich hardwood accents throughout, creating a warm and rustic appeal.

A gourmet kitchen and expansive dining area compliment the estate's grand salon, while the bedrooms open to patios and balconies offering views of the surrounding mountains and natural landscape. Other amenities include a mirrored home gym, multiple wood burning fireplaces and a large outdoor entertainment area with a fire pit. The fenced yard contains a private lake, several streams and ample room for horse riding. A barn is also permitted on the property.

Situated at the junction of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork Rivers, Basalt is known as the "Heart of the Roaring Fork Valley." The town offers a unique mix of recreational opportunities, historic interests and scenic beauty, and has managed to preserve its small town charm while growing into a very vibrant and contemporary community, with an abundance of boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and bars. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy its thousands of acres of pristine mountain wilderness and valleys, and the spectacular hiking, fly-fishing, golfing and world-class skiing amenities (Aspen Mountain, Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass are all within a short drive).

Beginning October 8th, open house property previews will be held between 12pm and 5pm each Wednesday through Sunday, until the day of the auction. Interested parties may visit RoaringForkLuxuryAuction.com or call 1-800-619-6045 for details.
