Jeff Bezos Just Sold One of His Washington Homes for a Record $63 Million

April 15, 2025

It looks as though the record for the most expensive Washington home sale ever has been broken once again, this time by a waterfront estate in the exclusive Hunts Point enclave northeast of Seattle. At $63 million, the sky-high price eclipses the previous milestone set in 2020 by $3 million. Jeff Bezos was the lucky seller, while the buyer was an LLC tied to Delaware-based Cayan Investments. The clandestine off-market deal was first reported by the Puget Sound Business Journal.

As huge as that amount may be, the property is loaded with perks that could make the $63 million figure seem almost worth it to some folks. For one thing, the woodsy spread rests along 300 feet of water frontage on the eastern shores of Lake Washington and boasts a nearly 2,200-square-foot dock that can accommodate boats and seaplanes. For another, the grounds span over three acres with old-growth trees, rose gardens, and a bamboo grove.

The Amazon and Blue Origin founder bought the place in spring 2019, paying $37.5 million, which broke a regional sales record set just a year before by a $26.75 million sale. Designed by noted local architect Jim Olson of Olson Kundig, the modern abode was built in 2003 for the late art collector and cruise line magnate Barney Ebsworth, who called it “an American Place.”

Since the concrete, glass, and steel structure was never officially on the market, current details and photos are scarce. But online data reveals the home has three bedrooms and four baths in a little more than 9,400 square feet that sports a mix of limestone, poured concrete, and hardwood floors, Venetian plaster walls, and vast expanses of glass. Standing out are formal living and dining rooms separated by a voluminous entry foyer, a family room marked by a gold-clad fireplace, and a pair of kitchens.

The sleeping quarters are secluded in opposite wings of the house, including a duo of en-suite bedrooms with a breakfast bar and an elegant primary suite that comes with a fireside seating area, dual walk-in closets, a spa room, a luxe bath with a Japanese soaking tub, and an elevator that heads up to a rooftop terrace warmed by a fireplace. There’s also a glass walkway leading to a detached two-story guesthouse.

In addition to his Hunts Point digs, Bezos still owns at least three other Washington homes in the city of Medina, including a 30,000-square-foot Tudor-style spread known as the La Haye estate that he acquired in 2010 for $45 million. The multibillionaire, who’s announced he’s making South Florida his primary residence, recently spent a combined total of around $234 million buying up three waterfront estates on Miami’s Indian Creek Island (a.k.a. the Billionaire Bunker), most recently a roughly $90 million mansion that he plans to live in while work is being done on the two other side-by-side properties he previously purchased.
