This press release just landed in my inbox, and it made me laugh out loud.

I'm almost tempted to go down to Coto de Caza for the auction just to see what he ends up with at the auction.

I love hot air balloon rides!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OC, CA estate property owner pulls out all the stops with hot air balloon property tour prior to auction. Coto de Caza, Orange County, CA – September 29, 2009 -

The slump in multi-million dollar estate property sales has one Orange County, California property owner thinking outside the box. He’s hired a hot air balloon company to give tours of the property as well as an auction company to auction off the property to the highest bidder.

To attract bidders and give them a birds-eye view of the 6 acre estate property up for auction, the owner has arranged a full size hot air balloon tour for Saturday, October 3rd. “It’s challenging for someone to take it all in from the ground.

The hot air balloon tour will give auction bidders a true perspective from the air of what six acres has to offer - from multiple waterfalls including one 55-foot waterfall, large oak trees, gazebos, walking paths, a grand tropical pool area, fenced horse pasture and corrals.” says Ed Collins, the owner of the estate. “Since the property can nicely accommodate a three acre private vineyard for a wine enthusiast,

I figured a hot-air balloon tour over this setting would be a natural.” The property was previously listed at over $9,000,000, but the suggested opening auction bid is only $3,895,000 at the upcoming on-site live auction on Sunday, October 18th at 12:00 noon.

Dates: Hot air balloon tour – Saturday, October 3rd only, from 11:00AM to 2:00 PM. Live, On-Site Auction - Sunday, October 18th at 12:00 noon Property Address: 31752 Secoya Way, Coto de Caza, CA 92679
