Seeing Green: Home on Pebble Beach Golf Course Lists for $31 Million

The sellers are Texas residents C. Cary Patterson and his wife, Lois Patterson, records show. A lifelong golfer, Mr. Patterson is a lawyer who represented the state of Texas against the tobacco industry in the 1990s, and the name Lucky Strike is a nod to his success in that lawsuit, Ms. Lynch said. The Pattersons declined to comment.

The Pattersons bought the land in Pebble Beach for $9.275 million in 1999, property records show. The property, with views across the golf course to Carmel Bay and Point Lobos, is a few houses away from an estate once owned by the late crooner Bing Crosby.

The Pattersons built the roughly 7,700-square-foot property, completing it in 2000, according to Ms. Lynch. The property includes a four-bedroom main house, a one-bedroom guesthouse and a separate structure with parking and an executive office, according to Ms. Lynch. The main house includes a movie theater, a bar and a formal dining room, she said.

The Pattersons, who used the property as a vacation home, were drawn to the area for the golf and for the weather, which provided a reprieve from the Texas summer heat, Ms. Lynch said.

The property is one of only a few residences located directly on Pebble Beach Golf Links, which surrounds the shoreline and has hosted the US Open numerous times. Owners of homes on the golf course include entrepreneur Charles Schwab and Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob, according to property records. Last year, a home on the course sold for $32.69 million, records show.

The median home listing price in Pebble Beach was $4.3 million in August, according to Realtor.com, up 22.1% from August 2021. (News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal, also operates Realtor.com under license from the National Association of real estate agents.)
