A $69.5 million oceanfront estate in Golden Beach, Florida, has reportedly been purchased by an entity connected to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The buyer’s identity has not been confirmed, but the September sale set a local record and could add another high-value property to Bezos’ reported South Florida holdings.
Key takeaways
- A 17,500-square-foot mansion at 255 Ocean Boulevard sold for $69.5 million in September, reportedly setting a Golden Beach record.
- Property records identify the buyer as Delaware-based Meridian Coast LLC; media reports say the entity is tied to Bezos, but that link remains unconfirmed.
- The purchase would expand Bezos’ reported South Florida real estate holdings, including properties on Indian Creek Island.
Buyer’s identity remains unconfirmed
The mansion’s recorded buyer was Meridian Coast LLC, according to property records cited in media coverage. The Real Deal reported that sources familiar with the transaction linked the company to Bezos. However, no public confirmation of his involvement was reported, and the entity’s ownership has not been established in the available details.
A real estate agent quoted by Fox Business cautioned that high-profile names are often associated with major sales when the buyer is shielded by an entity. The transaction’s reported buyer representatives included Jill Eber and Hillary Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group, while Dina Goldentayer represented the seller.
A record-setting Golden Beach sale
The estate spans about 17,500 square feet and sits at 255 Ocean Boulevard, directly on the Atlantic shoreline. Its reported $69.5 million sale was described as a local record, underscoring the premium paid for oceanfront property in the small municipality.
Golden Beach has roughly 60 homes along its oceanfront stretch, according to a Miami real estate agent cited in the coverage. The area’s low-rise zoning and limited supply help distinguish it from denser parts of South Florida. Agents have also pointed to buyers combining adjacent lots to create larger private compounds, further reducing the number of available properties.
Possible addition to Indian Creek holdings
If the reported connection to Bezos is confirmed, the Golden Beach property would add to a South Florida portfolio reported to total about $234 million on Indian Creek Island. In April 2024, Bezos reportedly agreed to buy an island mansion for roughly $90 million in an off-market transaction. He was said to be planning to live there temporarily while preparing to replace two neighboring homes he had also acquired.
Indian Creek, often nicknamed the “Billionaire Bunker,” is a private island community with fewer than 100 residents and its own police force. The reported Golden Beach deal would mark a separate oceanfront acquisition, but its connection to Bezos remains a media report rather than a confirmed purchase by him.
