London Global Sale
This May, Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions arrives in the UK with the London Global Sale – an exciting moment that blends the strengths of traditional estate agency with the momentum and reach of a live auction. Taking place over two days, the sale begins with a live auction at Sotheby’s London, followed by a closing event at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.
On offer is a carefully selected portfolio of homes across the world, including a grand townhouse in Belgravia, a waterfront estate near Palm Beach, a modern villa in Hanover, and a sought-after Manhattan residence. For sellers, it’s a chance to showcase their property on a world stage. For buyers, it’s a rare opportunity to secure one-of-a-kind homes in locations that truly stand apart.
Property Highlights
Okeechobee, Near Palm Beach, Florida
Set over 40 acres of peaceful Florida uplands near Palm Beach, this nine-bedroom estate offers a rare mix of rustic charm and quiet luxury. Designed by Roger Janssen and listed at $12.995 million, the home spans 11,360 sq. ft. and is full of thoughtful details that give it real warmth and character. The architecture draws inspiration from classic Adirondack style, with soaring 31-foot beamed ceilings, hand-hewn cypress trusses, and wide open living spaces made for both entertaining and everyday family life. There’s a real sense of scale here, starting with the grand entrance and continuing through to the 2,445 sq. ft. primary suite, complete with six separate rooms. Highlights inside include an art gallery with a dramatic chandelier, a pine-panelled library with custom shelving, a fitness studio, mudroom with dog wash, and a bespoke Butler’s bar.
Solid oak doors lead you to a 110-foot covered loggia with cypress floors, opening up to a lake-facing outdoor area that’s designed for relaxed living – featuring a wood-fired pizza oven, barbecue, saltwater spa, and a basketball court overlooking the water.
The estate sits within Pine Creek, a private community offering everything from guided hunts and clay shooting to fine dining, concierge services, and even a zipline over the lake. There’s also an equestrian centre on-site. Though it feels like a world of its own, the property is just 35 minutes from Okeechobee County Airport and around 90 minutes from Palm Beach and Orlando. For those after privacy, space, and a lifestyle rooted in nature – with every comfort close at hand – this is a home that truly stands apart.
Belgravia, London
Belgravia takes a leading role in the upcoming live auction with a beautifully appointed four-bedroom townhouse, arranged across five floors. Offering over 4,000 sq. ft. of refined living space, the home combines late-Georgian charm with grand proportions, including soaring ceilings, period features, and twin aspect drawing rooms. Designed by celebrated builder Thomas Cubitt, the property is the definition of architectural finesse throughout.
Listed at £12.75 million, the house includes formal reception and dining rooms, a private terrace, staff accommodation, and a luxurious principal suite. Located beside the gardens of Buckingham Palace, it sits within a security-patrolled enclave moments from Hyde Park, Green Park, and within walking distance of both Mayfair and Chelsea.
A bidder deposit of $100,000 is required for this property. This is a home that reflects both the history and prestige of one of London’s most sought-after postcodes.
Hanover, Germany
Built by former footballer Per Mertesacker, this exceptional 18-room villa in Hanover is now offered for sale at €8.5 million. Spanning over 9,400 sq. ft., the residence is split across three self-contained homes: a five-bedroom maisonette, a five-bedroom penthouse, and a four-bedroom garden house – all seamlessly connected by lift.
Completed in 2024, the villa is fully accessible and thoughtfully designed, with generous living areas, multiple terraces, and wellness facilities. A six-car underground garage and ample cellar storage add further practicality. Set beside a nature reserve, the property also enjoys access to landscaped gardens, offering both privacy and tranquillity.
This is a rare chance to acquire one of Hanover’s finest contemporary homes, showcased as part of the London Global Sale.
Final Note
As Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions brings its exceptional portfolio to the capital this spring, the London Global Sale offers more than a front-row seat – it offers a moment to move decisively. From the distinguished townhouse in Belgravia to the contemporary Hanover villa beside a nature reserve, each property in the sale reflects the qualities that define Sotheby’s: architectural integrity, provenance, refined design, and a true sense of place. These are homes of rare calibre, presented on a global stage.
