In 2016, Bighorn Golf Club broke ground on a new, state-of-the-art, 80,000-square-foot clubhouse that included four penthouse residences that afford their owners the ultimate in privacy along with a concierge lifestyle.

Previously listed for $9.95 million, the furnished unit will be sold by Concierge Auctions — without reserve to the highest bidder — in cooperation with Donna Eide of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. Bidding is taking place from May 10–14 via the Concierge Auctions digital marketplace.
