Overview
- Bloomberg reported that Alpine Bay LLC, created about a month earlier, closed on the Crystal Pointe property on Dec. 5 for $42 million.
- Crystal Pointe sits in Crystal Bay, Nevada, just outside California, which coverage notes would place it beyond a proposed California one-time 5% billionaire wealth tax expected on the November 2026 ballot, according to the Tax Foundation.
- Records show Alpine Bay LLC is registered to a Reno address and managed by a San Francisco lawyer who also moved several other Brin-linked LLCs to the same location, per the reporting.
- The estate spans roughly 16,232 square feet with seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, extensive lakefront, a theater, a large wine cellar, and multiple fireplaces, according to prior listings.
- The coverage situates the deal within a broader trend of wealthy tech figures shifting residences or assets, citing Larry Ellison’s late-2025 sale of a San Francisco mansion and Larry Page’s recent Miami purchases.
