Surprising Auburn Real Estate

Having put his remarkable Auburn real estate overlooking the roaring Bear River up for sale for $7.9 million, Andy Laursen has moved on from the Auburn area.

But the Silicon Valley businessman leaves behind a legacy of land preservation, charity work and one heck of a party house in Placer County.

The 10,000-square-foot home at 11391 Overhill Drive, off Highway 49, hit the market earlier this year. The estate is perched on 150 acres offering views of the river below from nearly every room. The property’s entire north boundary is the Bear River, said Bruce Renfrew of California Outdoor Properties, who is the co-listing agent with Sandy Ballou.

The main residence comes with five bedrooms and 11 baths, including a master suite, a full wine cellar, a movie theater, a gym, a third-floor office suite and bonus rooms⁠—but at the center of the compound is an incredible party venue that’s been dubbed “The Barn.”

The Barn, a 4,800-square-foot building, comes with a full commercial quality kitchen, a nightclub-level, 12,000-watt sound system, a 24-channel digital mixing board, disco-style lighting system, dance floor, bar and lounge. It is designed with a patio that overlooks a pool, waterfall and pond. A spiral staircase takes guest to the top of the facility, where there are two full bedroom-and-bathroom suites.

“The nightclub is pretty cool,” Laursen said. “I play drums and many stringed instruments, so it was a great practice facility as well as party venue.”

The Laursens also hosted annual parties at The Barn for up to 200 people, as well as family gatherings and fundraisers for nonprofit charity groups.
