ASPEN, SNOWMASS, CO-An impressive property with a marquee location, Meanwhile Ranch will sell at a live auction without reserve on June 21.

NYC-based Concierge Auctions has announced the sale, describing a “grandeur reminiscent of national park lodges...located just minutes from world-class skiing, fly-fishing and mountain biking.” 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,” stated Joshua Saslove, broker/owner of Joshua & Co. “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. It features an Adirondack-style log design and spectacular living spaces that marry vintage western style with the antiques and souvenirs of the owner's far-reaching travels. The 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.
A library runs along a three-sided balcony overlooking the great room, offering views of the beautiful beamed ceiling. 

“With the finest dining only 15 minutes away in Aspen and the historic town of Basalt only 5 minutes away, it's the best of all worlds,” stated the seller, Cindy Culpepper. “I recently purchased another property through auction, so I'm familiar with the process. I believe it's the most effective approach to produce the highest, fair market price for unique assets, and I'm confident in our partnership with the Concierge team.”

The auction of Meanwhile Ranch will be held live on June 21. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. The property is open for preview daily from 1 to 4 pm by appointment.
