The Exquisite Chiricahua Estate and a 4.88-Acre Lot Are Set to Auction Separately in Cooperation with Frank Aazami of Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty

Nestled thoughtfully within the iconic Sonoran Desert, two stunning properties, providing separate yet exquisite buying opportunities, are set to auction next month via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. The Chiricahua Estate—a stunning Tuscan villa designed by renowned architect James Hann and built by the esteemed Dugally Oberfeld—is an artfully crafted Mediterranean-style villa located in the north-central section of the prestigious Desert Mountain community; approximately six miles away, but still within Desert Mountain, a separate 4.88-acre lot awaits, nestled within the Lone Mountain Village of the development. Each property will be auctioned separately in cooperation with Frank Aazami of Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty. Listed for US$5.9 million, the home is expected to garner starting bids between US$2 million and US$4 million, while the lot, listed for US$950,000, is expected to garner starting bids up to $400,000. Bidding for both properties is scheduled to open on 27 September via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ online marketplace and close on 17 October.
