The Sand Castle, a clifftop mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla, California, has been listed for $108 million, more than double the current record for a home sale in San Diego County.
Owned by tech billionaire Darwin Deason, the sprawling estate was formed by combining two adjacent lots that Deason purchased in 2009. Inspired by the luxurious homes of the French Riviera and Palm Beach, he undertook a full-scale remodel that was completed in 2015. The house got its nickname as the Sand Castle for its beige exterior and fortress-like design.
