Big Country Chateau Apartment Complex up for auction Thursday

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A troubled apartment complex in Little Rock is now up for auction.

Big Country Chateau is being auctioned off on Thursday. For years tenants have had concerns about living conditions. The property was foreclosed last year and now windows and doors are boarded up.

After ongoing legal battles, code violations, and more the property will be auctioned off with the starting bid at over $3,317,577.

Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk Terri Hollingsworth will be leading the auction tomorrow.

“It ended up in this particular predicament because of the foreclosure, and then the courts ordered that it would be auctioned off in terms of the settlement and that’s what they’re doing now,” Hollingsworth said.

Whoever wins the bid will either put down the whole amount or 10% of it, having to pay the full balance in 90 days.

The public auction is at noon at the Pulaski County Courthouse Rotunda.
