A mansion in Newport Coast has sold for $61 million, breaking a three-year-old record for Orange County’s priciest residential deal.

The 19,000-square-foot oceanfront property was built in 2017 and first appeared on the market in June, asking $68 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The sale price is $6 million higher than the Orange County record set when a two-house compound above Newport Harbor sold for $55 million, also in 2017.
