A Stark County, Ohio, estate marketed as Lakeside Manor is set to go to the highest bidder at an absolute auction on Oct. 24, according to the auction firm KIKO Auctions. Because the sale is absolute, there is no minimum price and bidding determines the outcome regardless of amount, the listing states.
The grounds exceed 45 acres and feature an indoor pool, a ski lake, a boat house and a guest cottage. The offering is divided into two parcels. One pairs an 8,000-square-foot residence with a 7-acre ski lake; the other consists of 8 acres containing a horse barn and fenced pasture.
KIKO Auctions says the Barkheimer family has held the estate for more than a decade and is now moving into a new phase, opening what the firm calls a rare chance for a buyer. The listing characterizes the design as centered on outdoor enjoyment and hosting, and says properties of this kind seldom reach auction.
The property's listed address is 12785 Youth Street. The Stark County Auditor's website shows an appraised value of $2,668,700, though the source notes that sale figures often differ from appraisals.
