A home in Ocala that belonged to the president of one of the largest sunglasses companies in the world was just sold for $6.4 million.
Located at 8767 NW 31st Lane Road in the Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club, the .66-acre lot sold for $6.4 million on March 15, according to Marion County Property Records.
According to records, the property was purchased by Michael and Tammy Dalton for $349,700 in 2020. Permits were issued in March 2021 and the home, as well as a pool and spa, were all complete by the end of 2022.
Mr. Dalton is the President and Chief Operating Officer of Maui Jim, a sunglasses company that got its start nearly 50 years ago in Hawaii.
The property features a 4,544-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home that sits on the 13th hole of the golf course, which is a replica of the famous 17th hole at Saint Andrews Links.
The primary living space boasts tall ceilings with beams, a fireplace, and built-in shelving with lighting, as well as a wall designed for wine display.
The outdoor space comes equipped with a stone fireplace, a complete kitchen, roll-up screens, and ample seating and dining sections.
The home is one of several in the Ocala area that have sold for multiple millions of dollars in recent weeks.
In February, a 23.57-acre property built by the founders of the World Equestrian Center sold for over $4 million. Located along “Millionaire’s Row,” the property was developed in 1998 by the Roberts Development Corporation, which was founded by the late Ralph L. “Larry” Roberts, Sr.
Property records show it was purchased by the son of the late businessman, Roby L. Roberts, and his wife, Jennifer.
