A mansion in the Coronado Cays was sold for $24.1 million during a live auction held in Hong Kong. The auction was organized by Concierge Auctions, a luxury real estate firm based in New York. The event took place at The Upper House, a high-end hotel located in Hong Kong, attracting global interest.
The property, previously listed at $43 million in November 2023, experienced challenges attracting buyers, leading to a price reduction to $37.5 million a year after its initial listing. The auction process lasted 52 days, from the decision to partner with Concierge Auctions up to the final sale.
There were nine bidders vying for the mansion, with the bidding commencing at $19 million. The sale is currently pending, as the home is in escrow, a process that typically takes around a month. The identity of the buyer remains undisclosed, but public deeds will be accessible once the sale is finalized.
Participation in the auction was worldwide, requiring only a $100,000 deposit and proof of funds, allowing bidders the convenience of placing bids without being physically present.
Property Features and Amenities
Located at 3 The Point, the mansion is operated by a trust from the Call family, founded by Jay Call, known for establishing Flying J. Fuel Co., now known as Pilot Flying J. The expansive property covers 11,715 square feet and offers stunning views of San Diego Bay.
This luxurious residence features seven bedrooms and 9 1/2 bathrooms, with standout characteristics such as floor-to-ceiling windows, a theater, and an impressive 3,600-square-foot rooftop deck complete with a pool spa and a small golf course. Additionally, the mansion boasts 320 feet of private bayfront, providing ample space for yachts or other watercraft.
The Auction Context
Before the auction, the property garnered attention for being on the market for an extended duration. The Hong Kong Global Sale event, where this auction took place, is known for featuring a selection of prestigious luxury real estate properties. Alongside the Coronado Cays mansion, other notable properties being auctioned included a 22,000-square-foot estate in Long Island and a large ranch in Aspen, Colorado.
As luxury real estate continues to evolve, auctions like these play a pivotal role in connecting sellers with potential buyers from around the world, honing in on the exclusivity and ease of modern property transactions. The successful sale at auction underscores the enduring appeal of high-end real estate, even in fluctuating market conditions.
