PALM BEACH, Fla. – Hindman Auctions will offer property from Casa de Suenos, a historic Miami Beach estate, in an exclusive single-owner sale on May 31. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

A 1930s Mediterranean Revival home overlooking Biscayne Bay, the house was originally built for a president of General Motors and then acquired in the late 1990s by the current owners Loren and J.R. Ridinger. The couple are the founders of Market America — a product brokerage and internet marketing company — and Loren is also a distinguished fashion, beauty and business leader recognized by Vogue, Haute Living and Forbes.
