reenwich, Conn. (PRWEB) July 14, 2008 -- Accelerated Marketing Partners will conduct the United States' largest residential sealed-bid sale for Hillcrest Estate, a sprawling 30-acre compound with more than 36,000 sq. ft. of living space, in Greenwich, Conn. Originally valued at more than $31 million, Hillcrest Estate will be sold to the highest bidder that meets or exceeds the published minimum reserve price of $19 million. Bids must be submitted no later than August 15 at 5:00 p.m. EST.

"After trying to sell my home conventionally, I realized that buyers in the current market are skeptical of real estate prices," said Stanley Cheslock, Hillcrest Estate homeowner. "Accelerated Marketing Partners has the ability to expedite the sales process through techniques and events that will get the attention of the right buyers."

A classic Greenwich compound, Hillcrest Estate features a 26,000-sq. ft. manor house built in 2003 as an energy efficient Smart Home, complete with private elevator, as well as two carriage houses and 12-car capacity garage. The expansive grounds of Hillcrest Estate adjoin The Stanwich Club, one of United States' premier golf courses, and include a large mouth bass pond, cascading waterfalls, meticulously maintained English gardens, and statuary by legendary sculptor Arturo Di Modica, who created the "Charging Bull" that visually defines New York City's Financial District.

Hillcrest Estate may be purchased in whole or in part, with the mansion and 22 acres available for a minimum reserve price beginning at $15 million. The two carriage houses and more than seven acres are available for a minimum reserve price beginning at $4 million.

"This property represents one of Greenwich's premier estates, and the sealed-bid sale is a watershed event for the luxury real estate market nationwide," said Jon Gollinger, co-founder and east coast chief executive officer of Accelerated Marketing Partners.

Designed by world-renowned architect Gilles Le Gorrec of Perkins Eastman, the manor house includes four master suites, a guest suite all with private spa baths and a service suite. The restaurant-style kitchen offers an oasis for the chef, complete with a wood-burning pizza oven, top-of-the-line appliances, separate accessories kitchen and a butler's pantry with walk-in refrigeration. The home offers sumptuous living and entertainment spaces throughout, including two cathedral-ceiling living rooms that both open onto a 2,500-sq. ft. terrace.

Exceptional amenities reflect the vast estate's decidedly European feel with a 100-ft. central atrium, rooftop cupola with stunning Long Island Sound views, hand-crafted stained glass windows, iron-clad elevator, seven Rumsford fireplaces, multiple laundries, handmade plaster moldings, chestnut flooring and geo-thermal heating and cooling. Hillcrest Estate also features a theatre-quality home cinema, 3,700 bottle-capacity wine room, cherry wood office/library, 50-ft. indoor lap pool with Siberian spruce sauna and granite steam room, and a fully equipped private gym.

The two carriage houses with garages offer additional living space located around the estate's beautifully landscaped property. The first carriage house is 7,000-sq. ft. and includes four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The second carriage house is 3,500-sq. ft. and includes three bedrooms and three baths.

"We are very excited to participate in this new paradigm for luxury homes sales," said Eric Bjork, vice president of Prudential Connecticut Realty. "This sealed-bid price point represents a phenomenal opportunity for someone to own this one-of-a-kind property for a fraction of its original value."
