And, the property itself is truly a natural wonder. At every turn, you are delighted by the gentle rustling of the wind through the trees, the harmony of the song birds, the magnificent views and stunning sunsets, all from the comfort of your own home.” Jeff Rhoades, Business Developer at Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions states, “To auction a property of this quality, build and location only comes around once. The fact you can name your price and win this property at auction is an opportunity you will most likely never see again. Karinya is one you don’t want to miss.”
