A $69.5 million oceanfront home in Golden Beach, Florida, has reportedly been purchased by a company linked by sources to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The September sale set a local record, according to Fox Business. The reported connection has not been confirmed, and the buyer named in property records is a Delaware-based limited liability company.
Key takeaways
- Meridian Coast LLC is listed as the buyer of the 17,500-square-foot property at 255 Ocean Boulevard.
- Sources familiar with the transaction told The Real Deal the company is tied to Bezos.
- If confirmed, the purchase would add an Atlantic beachfront home to Bezos’s reported South Florida holdings.
The reported link remains unverified. Fox Business said a real estate expert could not confirm Bezos’s involvement, and the agents representing the buyer and seller did not immediately respond to its requests for comment.
A record-setting beachfront sale
The Golden Beach estate sold for $69.5 million in September, setting a local sales record, according to the report. The home sits directly on the Atlantic, a feature real estate professionals say is increasingly rare in Miami-Dade County.
Golden Beach is a small residential community north of Miami Beach, known for its low-rise character, privacy and municipal police force. Its zoning rules prohibit high-rise development, distinguishing it from denser coastal areas nearby.
Why the location attracts wealthy buyers
Real estate agents quoted by Fox Business described direct ocean access and the limited supply of substantial beachfront parcels as major draws. One agent said Golden Beach has roughly 60 homes along its oceanfront strip, with buyers sometimes acquiring neighboring lots to create larger properties.
Agents also noted that ultra-wealthy buyers may seek homes for different uses rather than choosing between locations. A beachfront residence could serve as a private retreat or entertaining space, while a property on Indian Creek offers a different setting and lifestyle.
Potential addition to Bezos’s Florida holdings
Bezos has been reported to own properties on Indian Creek Island, a gated community in Biscayne Bay. Fox Business cited an estimated $234 million value for his existing holdings there. If the Golden Beach buyer is indeed linked to him, the new property would broaden that reported portfolio with direct Atlantic frontage.
At this stage, however, the LLC’s recorded purchase and the reported connection to Bezos are separate facts: the company is identified in property records, while Bezos’s role has not been publicly confirmed.
