Walden House, 705 Whiskey Ridge, Vail Valley, COBid Online August 29-31
Set on 70 acres ideally positioned atop Whiskey Ridge, Walden House will auction online this month in cooperation with Top Listing Agent Tye Stockton of The Stockton Group at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty and Co-Marketing Agents Mark Rutstein and Adam Phebus of Iconic Homes at Compass. Offered at $29 million, this one-of-a-kind estate will sell No Reserve to the highest bidder.
Unable to be replicated, Walden House’s most distinctive feature is its interaction with its setting. The heart of the living space is the central courtyard framing the changing colors of columbines and maple trees. Although grand in its footprint, each area's scale and volume were curated with purpose—to enable family interaction while serving as a friendly venue for entertaining guests. A modern staircase with an inverse design pattern showcases Walden House's most unique feature, three perfectly stacked bedrooms leading to a master bedroom perched at the top. Looking out upon Vail's Gore Range to the east and the New York Mountain range to the south and surrounded by National Forest land with ideal seclusion and commanding dramatic scenery on all sides, the property is within minutes of Beaver Creek and Vail and just two hours from Denver.
“There can never be another property quite like this one. It is truly a collector’s estate. The terrain was meticulously planned by landscape architect Edwina Von Gal, and the architect, Annabelle Selldorf, designed everything with nature in mind. Even the lighting, both natural and artificial, reflects her genius,” said Stockton, adding, “I first worked with Concierge Auctions years ago and just recently had the chance to work with them again, and I'm extremely impressed with how their business has evolved and refined over the years. Launching on the heels of another success in Vail Valley, we’re excited to partner with Concierge Auctions again to bring about a record-setting sale.”

All with glistening views of the Kalamalka Lake waters beyond,” stated the seller.
Set on a double lakeside lot with 10,000 square feet of living and entertaining space, this lakeside retreat features six bedrooms, including a master suite with a sitting area and spacious dressing room, a home theatre, and a private home gym.

The shores around Kalamalka Lake is home to year-round lake sports, trails for hiking, culinary delights, beautiful beaches, and world-class skiing and golf courses.
“This auction presents a rare opportunity to not only own a beautiful lakefront property on one of the most renowned lakes in the world, but also a property that is truly one-of-a-kind that would be hard, if not impossible, to replicate,” stated Evernden. “Having partnered with Concierge Auctions on the sale of several unique properties over the years, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of their platform at aggregating a market on a global scale while delivering a date-certain sale. It truly is a win-win-win for sellers, buyers, and agents.”
