$22.5 Million Northern California Estate to Be Auctioned With No Reserve

Sweeping views, technologically advanced, and an athlete's dream with everything from a rock climbing wall to racquetball and squash courts.

ORINDA, CA — It's easy to see how this home earned its listing price of $22.5 million. It's a luxury estate with everything a wealthy owner could desire — from breathtaking views to hand-crafted details. But when no one snapped up the compound when it hit the market in May, the owners decided to go the auction route rather than chipping away at the price. With no reserve set, this home will be auctioned on Oct. 27.

Listen to this description from Concierge Auctions, "Ideally set upon nearly nine hilltop acres in sunny Orinda, named one of the ‘top friendliest communities’ by Forbes, 10 Winding Lane is California living at its finest. Hand-forged iron gates grace the entrance of the compound, which is comprised of three structures: a six-bedroom, 10-bathroom main residence; a carriage house with a banquet hall, five-car garage and car wash station; and a state-of-the-art sports complex replete with tennis, bocce, racquetball, and squash courts; a gym; rock climbing wall; steam room; sauna; yoga center; and spa."
