Home on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links sells for record $45 million

PEBBLE BEACH – The sale of a home in Pebble Beach with million-dollar views marks the highest sale in Monterey County history at $45 million.

Tim Allen of the Tim Allen Properties Team, affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California, represented the sellers in the closing on Aug. 26 for the property at 1544 Cypress Dr., in Pebble Beach.

“We are delighted that we could orchestrate a successful discreet marketing and sale of our client’s estate, one of only five prestigious homes located on the 18th hole of this iconic golf course,” said Allen. “The allure of unparalleled amenities and spectacular ocean views awaiting the new owners has propelled this closing to an all-time record high for Monterey County home sales. We extend our warmest wishes to the new owners as they enjoy their awe-inspiring modern home in this beautiful location.”

The home was designed by architect Robert Griffin and includes about 10,500 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, six full- and four half-bathrooms on approximately 1.78 acres of manicured and private grounds adjacent to the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links.

It is one of only five homes built near the 18-fairway and is also close to the Pebble Beach Resort and Beach Club with some of the most iconic views of the storied golf course, scenic surroundings, and the Pacific Ocean.

The previous owner of the home on Cypress Drive in Pebble Beach was former San Diego Padres owner John Moores, according to The Real Deal, a real estate news site. Moores bought the property with his then-wife Rebecca in 1994 for $7 million. That same year, the Texas-born software company founder and venture capitalist bought the San Diego Padres baseball team.

The new owner is WhiteApple DE LLC, according to public records, and The Real Deal said that it was not on the multiple listing service, or MLS, database, but instead sold off-market.

The Pebble Beach home at 1544 Cypress Drive has set a new sales price record, one that was previously held by the sale of the DL James House in the Carmel Highlands that was sold to Brad Pitt in August 2022 for $40 million.

Pitt bought the house that sits on a cliff-side perch high above the ocean in an off-market purchase that was said at the time to be one of the priciest sales in one of the most sought-after locations in the country.
