The estate is located 27 miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip, just a couple of miles from the Hoover Dam in the small town of Boulder City.<\/p>\n

It comprises two adjoining properties. The 6,455 square-foot main house has three bedrooms and four bathrooms, while a 1,712 square-foot guest house — with a private bedroom and two-room bath overlooking a koi pond — served as the author\u2019s writing parlor. It was here that Goodkind penned his 2009 thriller, The Law of Nines.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The living quarters are surrounded by walking trails built by Goodkind on 3.76 acres of isolated desert property.<\/p>\n

Goodkind purchased the gated estate for $1.38 million in 2002. He died there in September 2020 at age 72. His cause of death was never released.<\/p>\n

The estate will be auctioned, without reserve, by the Sotheby\u2019s-owned real-estate firm Concierge Auctions from March 29 to April 11. The opening bid is expected to be between $2 million-$3 million, according to Amber Bartholomew of Desert Sun Realty, who placed the listing.<\/p>\n

Goodkind\u2019s Sword of Truth <\/em>series sold 25 million books worldwide and was adapted into a television series,\u00a0 Legend of the Seeker<\/em>, which ran from 2008-2010 on ABC-TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
