The Art of Exceptional Living
Our Story
A Legacy of Uncompromising Excellence
Founded in 1998 by Alexander Blackwood, Aureum Estates was born from a singular conviction: that acquiring an extraordinary home should be an experience as exceptional as the property itself.
What began as a boutique advisory in Beverly Hills has evolved into a globally recognized authority in ultra-luxury real estate. Over two decades, we have curated a portfolio that spans the world's most coveted addresses — from sun-drenched Mediterranean coastlines to the rarefied heights of Alpine retreats.
Our approach is defined not by volume, but by discernment. We represent a carefully selected collection of properties, each chosen for its architectural significance, exceptional provenance, or transformative potential. This philosophy has earned the trust of collectors, entrepreneurs, and families who demand nothing less than the extraordinary.
