Jeff Bezos’ Record Home Sale in Hunts Point

The mystery seller of a record-setting $63 million estate outside Seattle has been identified as Jeff Bezos.

The founder of Amazon.com on Wednesday sold the 9,400 mansion at 4053 Hunts Point Road, in Hunts Point, on Lake Washington northeast of Seattle, the Puget Sound Business Journal reported, citing an unidentified source.

The buyer in the off-market deal was Cayan Investments, an LLC based in Delaware.

The deal shattered a state home sale record set in 2020 when Sunny Singh paid $60 million for another mansion at the tip of Hunts Point, north of Bellevue.

Bezos bought the three-bedroom, four-bathroom home in 2019 for $37.5 million, breaking a record set the year before by a $26.75 million sale, according to the Business Journal.

The estate had once been the home of the late Barney Ebsworth, a world-renowned art collector. It was among the luxury estates that Bezos has accumulated around Medina and Hunts Point.

The mansion was appraised at $45.7 million, according to King County records.

The home, designed by Seattle architect Jim Olson of Olson Kundig, sits on 3.2 acres with 300 feet of Lake Washington waterfront. It includes a 2,200-square-foot dock for boats and seaplanes valued at $280,000.

Bezos still owns the two properties around Seattle, assessed at a combined $158 million.

The billionaire owns a 30,000-square-foot Tudor-style mansion in Medina known as the La Haye estate, which he bought in 2010 for $45 million. He purchased a property next door in 1998 for $10 million.

In 2019, Bezos sold a 4,300-square-foot home in Yarrow Point for $2.75 million.

In late 2023, the Amazon founder announced that he was leaving greater Seattle after three decades. Early that year, he bought two side-by-side mansions in Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek, then added an $87 million mansion last year. His yearlong outlay in the Sunshine State: $234 million.
