Concierge Auctions Announces Live Auction Of Two Breathtaking New Oceanfront Estates On The White Sands Of Vero Beach, Florida

VERO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Two newly built and remarkable oceanfront estates in exclusive Vero Beach, one of the country's wealthiest zip codes, will be up for auction next month through industry leader Concierge Auctions. The "bidder's choice" method will allow the new buyer to take his/her pick between the two dream homes, known as Sandy Lane and Splendida Dimora. The March 26^th auction will take place in cooperation with listing agents Clark French and Cindy O'Dare of Premier Estate Properties.

"These estates set the standard for excellence when it comes to idyllic, oceanfront real estate. Everything a person could ever desire can be found within both," French said. "They're the only brand new oceanfront residences for sale in Vero Beach – immaculate and untouched. The auction not only presents an amazing opportunity to own a never-before-lived-in slice of luxury, but also gives buyers an option. We expect there to be quite a bit of competition on auction day."

Barbadian-Inspired Sandy Lane

Originally listed for $17.9 million, Sandy Lane is a 2+-acre, oceanfront compound located in the coveted Estate Section of Vero Beach. The 15,400-square-foot, Barbadian-inspired residence boasts six bedroom suites, including two masters on separate floors, both of which were designed with inclusive sitting areas, his-and-hers spa-style bathrooms and wardrobe rooms, and private oceanfront balconies. The property also contains an epicurean kitchen and a high-tech home theater.

Many first-floor rooms open to breezy loggias built of genuine coral stone around the patio surrounding the massive infinity pool, the largest residential pool in Vero Beach -- all overlooking the property's private stretch of sandy beach. In addition, the outdoor living space also completely opens to the interior kitchen/breakfast room, features a fireplace, fire pit, a full cabana bathroom and 3,000 square feet of covered space. The independent guesthouse, located off the private garden breezeway, is a two-bedroom two-and-a-half-bathroom home complete with a full gourmet kitchen, dining area and laundry room.

Sandy Lane's immaculate design is the past recipient of three prestigious Green Laurel Building Awards, which recognize excellence in the "green" building industry.

European-Inspired Splendida Dimora

Not to be outdone by its neighbor, Splendida Dimora is also a new-construction home on 2+ acres in Vero Beach's Estate Section. It was built 24 feet above sea level -- one of the highest area locales -- and overlooks more than 155 feet of private beach frontage. The European-inspired residence, originally listed for $18.875 million , boasts top-of-the-line fixtures, finishes and amenities over an impressive 16,120 square feet. 

Featuring a separate guest home with plunge pool, as well as an incredible infinity pool and spa, the dramatic home entrance boasts a two-story foyer including a custom-designed, cantilevered walnut and marble spiral staircase. Soaring ceilings and walls of windows take advantage of stunning ocean views. The estate includes five en-suite spa bathrooms and five bedrooms, including two master suites, also on separate floors with the same perks as Sandy Lane including private balconies overlooking the ocean.

Glass doors fully open to the oceanfront loggia, family room, gourmet kitchen with a butler's pantry and breakfast room. Additionally, there is a hand-rubbed, walnut wine room with accommodation for more than 500 bottles.Splendida Dimora also has a two bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom independent guesthouse with a full kitchen and dining area.

Seller Brook Lenfest, who worked with Concierge last year on the successful sale of his Jackson Hole, WY home, said his experience with Concierge and the auction process has been positive. He is working with Concierge on this auction in cooperation with his business partner, Tom Laboon. 

"Partnering with Concierge Auctions again made perfect sense. Having worked with them in the past, I can tell you that of all the real estate auction companies out there, Concierge is the best," Lenfest said. "I'm sure the auction will be a great success and set the market value in Vero Beach for magnificent homes of this magnitude for some time to come."
