Granite Bay Real Estate is Auctioned

Granite Bay, CA had a real estate auction last weekend. Did you hear about the incredible real estate in Granite Bay, CA that was auctioned off? It was the deal of the century.

And unlike other real estate auctions, this one was REAL. Some of those other play auctions that take place where the bank has 30 days to change their mind with the winning bid, this one was not a bank auction but an auction from the seller.

What an exceptional buy Mr. Kuhn made for $1.35 million. With over $5 million worth of improvements on the land at this exceptional property, the new owner certainly got his moneys worth. Take a little tour of this bit of paradise in Granite Bay, CA and come back to read who actually owned The Pond…you might be surprised.

Gary Cino, is the founder of the 98 Cent Clearance Center chain that he sold to Dollar Tree Stores and now is a real estate developer who has owned 8300 Moss Ct. in Granite Bay known as The Ponds in Granite Bay.  Look at what yours spent dollars helped build here at The Pond.

Back in 1998 Cino decided to buy the property across from his own house since it was an eye sore. He wanted to make a fishing hole which turned out to be a $5 million dollar project with boulders, waterfalls, 3 gunite-lined ponds 17 feet deep stocked pond with trophy trout, boat and kayak docks, bridges, golf platform, tiki huts, full outdoor kitchen, island dining gazebos and places for the kids to explore and play.

The ponds were created with the ecosystem in mind, equipped with sound infiltration systems for excellent water quality for fish, foul, flora and fauna.

Cino’s family has now grown up and it was time for him to sell. After weddings and charity events along with very little time to enjoy his property, Cino listed his property for sale. The property was listed back in 2003 for $5,500,000 and again in 2008 for $4,998,998 but didn’t sell.

Cino hired O’Callaghan Auctioneers of Lincoln who spent $100,000 advertising for a buyer to auction off his property at an absolute auction (highest bid wins with no minium bid).

Now, in this park-like setting the new owner can build a house. There is a spot already waiting for a 20,000 square foot home to be built. Mr. Kuhn has one of a kind right across the street from Los Lagos.

If you as a home buyer missed the sale of the century don’t loose hope, there are other homes for sale in Granite Bay, CA that you might like. I must say, I don’t think anything will compare to this one, though.

Granite Bay Home Buyer Looking for Mansion

Blue question markToday, a home buyer called about a house for sale that he saw on  Sacramento Real Estate Voice and wanted to know more about it.

The house is for sale in Granite Bay, a community of upscale homes where there are friendly gated, guarded gated and non-gated neighborhoods.

If you would like to take a tour of some of the Granite Bay neighborhoods, just click on the link.

While speaking to the Granite home buyer, he asked an interesting question…What makes a mansion a mansion?  I thought it was a good question that many other home buyers might wonder about.

 Usually, a 6,000 square foot home is considered to be a mansion but not always. A mansion can be much smaller. The key that makes a mansion a mansion is the design which is tailored to fit particular buyers needs. It’s a bit above and beyond.

The Granite Bay house, (I should say mansion) that the home buyer called about has 6,700 square feet on almost 2 acres with amenities galore. One of the convenient features of the mansion is the pre-programmed, wireless, radio frequency lighting system called Lutron Lighting. While driving up to the house, from a car or by a central system, one can turn on the inside and outside lights of the house or simply dim the lights all in the flip of a finger.

A curved staircase one with glass sides overlooking all glass windows floor to ceiling reaching 30 ft with a 180 degree view is just another plus for this home. Little things like home theater, multi zone units for heat and air, multiple shower heads, sub zero refrigerator and freezer, Neff cabinetry, Bloomberg windows, guest quarters, pool, pool house, wine cellars, media/sports rooms, fantastic views plus ever so much more.  Some mansions have their own helipad, vineyard, multiple garages…all for the toys or future toys that the new home buyer may purchase. These all help to make a house a mansion along with state of the art fixtures and materials used for building and installing appliances.
