This $27m mansion will blow your mind

When buying a home by the water and near to a golf course, it’s always expected that you’ll pay a canny sum.

But when that golf course is Pebble Beach Golf Links, ranked as the 14th best golf course in the world and situated on the stunning Californian coast, it’s no surprise that you would have to pay at least six figures.

However, a whopping $27m, $5m more than Jordan Spieth won last year, is what set the recent buyer of this beachfront house in Carmel-by-the-Sea back.

Situated on more than two acres, the 12,690sq ft mansion has four bedrooms, five full baths and two half baths, with exceptional views out over the West Coast as well as the course, which hosts the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on the PGA Tour every February.

The price was a record for the area – but still fell well short of the $37.5m asking price. But enough of the details, take a look at the house below.
