A 7,821-square-foot estate tucked into Oregon's Willamette Valley wine country is heading to auction with starting bids expected to run as low as $1.25 million to $2.5 million, a steep discount from the $6.5 million asking price it carried just a year earlier. The three-bedroom, four-bathroom property at 8418 Valley Way SE in Turner sits on 1.71 private acres and includes an indoor pool, private gym, hot tub courtyard and views of Mount Jefferson and Mount Hood.
A Customized Property Built in 2006
The estate was listed on the market in September 2025 at $6.5 million by broker Patrick Clark of Christie's International Real Estate Evergreen in Portland, according to The Oregonian/OregonLive. Concierge Auctions now lists the same property among its upcoming sales, describing it as a “1.71-acre estate in Oregon wine country with indoor pool and private gym,” according to Concierge Auctions. A separate listing on Realty Executives details a chef's kitchen, private office and a primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath retreat on the main level.
An upper level of the home offers a second kitchen and lounge, per the same listing, and the outdoor spaces include a secluded courtyard with a hot tub. Bidder registration for the auction closes October 8, with starting bids expected between $1.25 million and $2.5 million, the listing notes.
How the Auction Works
Under Concierge Auctions' standard terms as described by The Oregonian/OregonLive, the highest bidder pays the seller the purchase price plus applicable fees, including a buyer's premium of up to 12.75% that Concierge Auctions charges and a 2.5% cut for the broker. Bidders must register and provide a deposit before participating. Concierge Auctions sells properties in their current condition without contingencies, and the auction process is designed to build interest and competition for real estate within a finite window, giving a property exposure to the widest possible pool of buyers and letting the market respond.
Clark told The Oregonian/OregonLive that a buyer may prioritize privacy, beauty and quality of life, and that the property offers room for family and friends as well as a private retreat. He added that many potential buyers may not have previously considered the Willamette Valley but could come to understand the estate's lifestyle, privacy and value. Clark also noted the property remains surrounded by open space and extraordinary views while staying connected to Portland and Oregon wine country.
Other Oregon Luxury Auctions Have Sold Well Below Asking
The Turner sale follows a pattern seen in several other high-profile Oregon auctions run by Concierge Auctions and other firms. Actor Patrick Duffy's ranch outside Eagle Point, spanning 329 acres with a main residence, pool house and a 15-acre river island, drew a highest bid of $5.75 million — about half its most recent asking price, according to KOBI5. That property had at various points been offered at $19.995 million with Concierge Auctions, at $11 million per KOBI5's report, and at $10,995,000 according to RV Times, which also reported the 18-minute auction came down to two bidders trading $50,000 raises before the gavel fell.
Further north on the Oregon coast, the 25-acre Nestucca Sea Ranch had once been listed for $10 million before selling for $3.08 million through a Sotheby's auction that opened at $2.5 million and closed May 16, per the Daily Mail. That listing had run without a minimum starting bid. A 20-acre estate and ranch near Bend, previously priced at $6.3 million and featuring more than 7,300 square feet of living space, six bedrooms, a five-stall barn and a 130-by-200-foot riding arena, was likewise scheduled to sell without reserve at a June 2025 auction, according to a PR Newswire release.
Whether the Turner estate follows a similar trajectory remains to be seen once bidding opens. What is clear from the record of recent Oregon luxury auctions is that starting bids and even winning bids have often landed well under prior asking prices, a dynamic that appears to be repeating itself in the Willamette Valley this fall.
