Luxury Aspen home going to auction

A 14,000-square-foot estate located at 350 Eagle Park Drive is scheduled to go to auction, without reserve, from Feb. 26 to 28.

The eight-bedroom home that sits on 15 acres was designed by Uruguayan architect Horatio Ravazzani.

Previously listed for $18.4 million, the property is being auctioned off Concierge Auctions in cooperation with Steven Shane of Compass Colorado LLC.

The property includes a buildable lot on a cul-de-sac at the top of Buttermilk Mountain (which was previously listed for $3.75 million and also is selling without reserve separately or with the property), a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, an al fresco dining table that seats 32 people, a home theater with 2,000-pound, soundproof doors, and other features.
