The Amazon founder, who purchased the 9,420-square-foot Hunts Point property in 2019 for US$37.5 million, has now broken the state’s previous sales record.
The buyer was identified as Cayan Investments, a Delaware-registered limited liability company with a post office box in Medina, according to Biz Journals.
This marks the second time this particular property has set a price record in Washington. When Bezos purchased it in 2019, he broke the previous record of US$26.75 million established just a year earlier.
The 3.27-acre property was previously owned by the estate of Barney Ebsworth, a renowned art collector who founded the travel company INTRAV and Royal Cruise Line.
Ebsworth was recognised as one of the 200 greatest collectors in the world by Art News magazine before his death in 2018.
The architectural home was designed by Seattle architect Jim Olson of Olson Kundig.
It features three bedrooms and four bathrooms and sits on a prime waterfront property 302 feet from Lake Washington’s shoreline.
The estate includes a substantial 2,190-square-foot dock valued at US$280,000 that can accommodate both boats and seaplanes.
Bezos still owns two other properties in the nearby neighbourhood of Medina, including a 30,000-square-foot mansion known as La Haye estate, which he reportedly purchased in 2010.
While no official sale price was recorded for that transaction, tax records suggest he may have paid approximately US$45 million for it.
The sale comes as Bezos continues to reduce his ties to Seattle, the city where he founded Amazon.
In 2023, the billionaire announced he would be relocating to Florida, where he has invested approximately US$400 million in real estate.
The mansion’s tax appraisal value was listed at US$45.7 million according to King County records, significantly less than its final selling price.
The transaction appears to have been conducted privately, with no brokers identified and no listing through the Multiple Listings Service system.
