Ed Brown, former Patrón Spirits CEO, sold his oceanfront Hillsboro Beach mansion at a loss, for $16.5 million.

Brown and his wife, Ashley, sold their home at 1115 Hillsboro Mile to James R. Lambert, a trustee of the 1115 Hillsboro Mile Trust, according to records.

Luxury spec home developer Mark Timothy built the home in 2017, the same year the Browns bought it for $20 million.

Jack Elkins with William Raveis Real Estate handled the sale of the 12,562-square-foot mansion, which sits on an acre of land.

The Browns aimed high with their initial listing, putting the property on the market in February 2019 for $27 million. In January, the asking price dropped to $26 million, and eventually fell to $23 million.

The two-story house has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms — including two master baths — and two half-bathrooms.

The mansion is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway and has direct access to the beach on one side and a private dock with a boat lift on the other.

Brown stepped down as the CEO of Patron Spirits in 2018, after holding the position for 18 years. Brown, a former racecar driver, was announced as the executive director of Surterra Wellness, an Atlanta-based health and wellness company, in 2019.
