Actor Matt Damon has sold his roughly 12,700-square-foot Mediterranean-style home in Miami Beach to mortgage company CEO Patrick Markert, according to public records and listing agents Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg. It was listed for $18.999 million, down from $20 million in 2013.
The 1-acre property includes a main home, a guesthouse and a pool house with a summer kitchen and terrace, for a total of seven bedrooms, 9½ bathrooms and 170 feet of water frontage. The home is located on North Bay Road, an exclusive stretch overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Mr. Damon bought the property in 2005, the agents said. Public records show that he bought the two-parcel property for $14.5 million. Mr. Damon, who is set to star in the Ridley Scott sci-fi film “The Martian,” couldn’t be reached for comment.
The sale was fortuitous, the agents said. They were also representing the buyer, Mr. Markert, who had just closed on the $27.5 million sale of three adjacent units in South Beach’s Continuum high-rise condo building. The units, located on the 36th floor of the 42-story south tower, include a media room, wine cellar and several terraces. The buyer of the condo units was represented by Zuzia Borucka of Florida Realty of Miami.
“It was a puzzle to put these two sales together,” said Ms. Eber. Mr. Markert, chief executive officer of Atlanta-based AmeriSave Mortgage, was looking to move to a single-family home to raise his family, the agents said. He couldn’t be reached for comment.
Sales in the Miami Beach single-family luxury market have nearly doubled since last year, Ms. Hertzberg said. So far 14 homes priced between $10 million and $20 million have sold this year, compared with eight last year. Ms. Eber and Ms. Hertzberg, of the Jills team with Coldwell Banker Previews International, had the listings.
