Brief Circle R Ranch Description:

After languishing on the market for 1,200 days and seeing the sales price cut in half, Circle R Ranch in Woody Creek is going to auction this week. The sprawling 244-acre property off Woody Creek Road has six homes and was developed by brothers Sam and Charles Wyly in the early 2000s. It went on the market in 2015 shortly after Sam Wyly filed for bankruptcy. It’s beeing sold now by the US Government as part of an SEC settlement. It was originally listed at $59.9 million and then in May of 2017, the price dropped to $29.9 million. Now, it will go to the highest bidder through global auction firm, Concierge Auctions. Bidding, which starts at $10 million, will be open now through Aug. 6, and will take place via the firm’s online marketplace. If interested, let me walk/talk you through the property. Or if any friends or business associates may be interested, please forward this.
