KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Officials say a 50-room waterfront mansion in East Tennessee will hit the auction block later this month.

Brad Pruitt of Signature Luxury Auctions told WBIR-TV that Villa Collina in Knoxville will be auctioned on Oct. 26.

The 37,000-square-foot home in Knoxville is situated on 8.2 acres, overlooks the Tennessee River and has a view of the Smoky Mountains. Other amenities include eight bedrooms, 16 baths, an indoor pool and a wine cellar that can accommodate 100,000 bottles.

Pruitt said the auction will be held in an intimate, private setting. Those interested in bidding on the home must pre-qualify to participate.
