London Global Sale
May wraps up on a grand note, with the London Global Sale featuring some of the most exclusive and anticipated luxury properties from across the world on display in the capital – as part of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. Taking place over the course of two days, bidding will culminate live on day one at Sotheby’s London, followed by the closing auction at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. Some prime properties represented at the live auction include homes in Belgravia and The Strand, London, Manhattan, Okeechobee, Near Palm Beach, Florida, and Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany.
On the Spotlight: Homes That Represent an Expression of Who You Are
Belgravia, London
London’s Belgravia is highly represented at the upcoming live auction with an impressive four-bedroom townhouse that is remarkably arranged over five floors to offer grand indoor and outdoor living. Late-Georgian elegance, soaring double-height ceilings, meticulously preserved period details and dual aspect drawing rooms combine to highlight the architectural artistry that Thomas Cubitt – the British master builder who crafted the property – is most renowned for. Listed for £12.75M, this 4,000 sq. ft. home is served by formal reception and dining areas, a charming terrace, staff accommodation, a palatial principal suite and a security-patrolled location adjacent to Buckingham Palace's gardens. Sitting next to Hyde Park and The Green Park, and a short walk to Mayfair and Chelsea, the home is a mirror of its distinguished location.
Okeechobee, Near Palm Beach, Florida
The nine-bedroom, 11,360 sq. ft. Adirondack-inspired estate near Palm Beach reveals a blend of quiet luxury and rustic warmth spread across 40.57 acres of Florida uplands. Listed for $12.995M and designed by Roger Janssen, the estate is a vision of bespoke elements: 31-foot beamed ceilings with hand-hewn cypress trusses, full impact glass throughout, metal roof, 2,445 sq. ft. primary suite with six rooms, art gallery with grand chandelier and a custom pine library with built-in bookcases, to name a few. The property is characterised by vast living spaces and a grand entrance that set the tone for a setting designed to impress at every turn, where lavish entertaining is followed by intimate family gatherings and where elegance comes to life in every detail of the home’s carefully considered plan. Other distinctive features leave their mark on the estate, such as a fitness studio, mud room with custom dog wash, formal room with gold leaf chandelier, Smith Security gun safe with Kara lock system and a Butler's bar with custom cabinetry.
Solid core 9-foot oak doors throughout the estate lead to a covered 110-foot loggia with cypress flooring, which introduces the outdoor living areas with a Mugnaini wood-burning pizza oven, outdoor barbecue, a saltwater spa and a basketball court overlooking a majestic private lake with dual aeration system.
Offering everything from guided hunts and sporting clays to fine dining and around-the-clock concierge service, Pine Creek amenities are aplenty, inviting guests to step beyond the estate boundaries and explore the Private Member Club and the Equestrian Centre, or try the zipline over the lake. The ranch is a 35-minute drive to Okeechobee County Airport and approximately 90 minutes to Palm Beach and Orlando.
There is a $100,000 bidder deposit required for this property.
Hanover, Germany
Originally built by footballer Per Mertesacker, this spectacular 18-room split-level villa is one of Hanover’s most precious possessions, now ready to welcome its new owner. Over 9,400 sq. ft. of luxury living spaces unfold gloriously across three distinct residences: a ground-floor five-bedroom maisonette apartment, a five-bedroom penthouse on first level, and a separate four-bedroom garden house, all connected through integrated elevator access. A barrier-free residence, this Hanover villa is listed for €8.5M and was completed in 2024. A six-car underground garage, cellar storage, multiple terraces, wellness facilities and access to a sprawling garden which borders a nature reserve, further elevate this rare offering at the London Global Sale.
As Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions prepares to bring its signature properties to the capital this spring, the London Global Sale is not just an event to attend, but an invitation to act, an opportunity to secure a world-class asset in the realm of global real estate. From the stately townhouse in Belgravia to the Hanover villa on the edge of a nature reserve, each home featured in the live auction reflects the values at the heart of Sotheby’s: excellence, provenance, exceptional design and detail, and a strong sense of place.
