Check out 47-acre Auburn compound – listed at $2.6M – built for outdoor enthusiasts
There are a lot ways a buyer of a newly listed Auburn compound — on the market at the asking price of $2.599 million — might imagine using its 47 acres.
Riding motorcycles and racing trucks on the three dirt tracks or JetSkiing across a huge pond come to mind. Producing wine, holding weddings or horse riding are other possibilities. Cattle-grazing is another opportunity. Or, the parcel could be divided to allow for further development.
Listing agent Chaz Halbert of Realty ONE Group demonstrated what he would do with the land, if he owned it, in a marketing video that has been viewed more than 5,000 times on his Instagram account.
Using his connections and background as a motorcycle racer, Halbert got some of his friends together at the property at 11600 Cramer Road, with the seller’s permission, “and went to work having fun.”
The video shows a helicopter landing on the property, dirt bikes flying over jumps, all-terrain vehicles whipping around a track and personal watercraft gliding across the water.
“It was pretty phenomenal to do that whole thing in one day and get all those all those guys out there to have some fun,” he said.
Room for all your toys — there’s a 10,000-square-foot workshop on the parcel — and enough usable space for any outdoor enthusiast are certainly draws. However, the custom home on the property, built in 1991, is pretty nice, too. With three bedrooms and four baths, the house spans 4,300 square feet, and features three fireplaces, an open living space with exposed beams, and an expansive balcony that looks across the property.
“So when I was out there last night, and the sun was going down, we were standing on the balcony and it was like paradise,” Halbert said.
The property also contains a small guest house, a five-acre groomed vineyard with registered grape tags, a water canal — Orr Creek —that runs through the center of the parcel and feeds a massive holding pond that is 14-feet deep. The property is irrigated with 7 miner’s inches of water, or more than 11 gallons per minute per day.
“It’s kind of the dream property for anyone that is looking for their own compound to have to themselves, but just be a stone’s throw away from town,” Halbert said. “This place, it checks every single box. It’s pretty unique. And really, it’s just something that I think that a lot of people wouldn’t even think existed in Auburn, to be honest with you.”
Halbert said there are 20 acres in the back of the property that hold the potential to be split off, or can be used to build a custom home or expand the vineyard. Lorensen Road provides private access to that section of the property.
Many properties in Auburn have multiple acres, but Halbert said the Cramer Road estate is something special itself.
“There’s other properties that are going to be similar, but I don’t know if there’s any on the market right now that have this much energy and time and money invested in the property, just getting the infrastructure in place to where the 47 acres is usable,” he said. “This place has irrigation throughout it. Deer fence all the way around the vineyard. They’ve done a ton of work and drainage, and just keeping everything cut down and making it so it’s all manageable. And if you’re a motorsports enthusiast, or if you want to have cattle graze, or if you want to hold weddings there in the future, or make it a winery — there’s so many possibilities with this property that is kind of mind blowing to be honest. You go there and you walk out on the motorcycle tracks and look over the property and it doesn’t even seem real. You just never want to leave.
“Every time I go there, I don’t want to leave.”
The home last sold in 2016 for $1.3 million, according to public record.
