Jim Meadlock, a former engineer who contributed to the Apollo space missions, has purchased a second property in Jupiter’s Bear’s Club for $34.3 million. The transaction records indicate that the mansion at 118 Bear’s Club Drive was acquired by a trust associated with his wife, Cynthia Meadlock. The seller is Brighton Investment SA, a Panamanian entity connected to Colombian billionaire Jimmy Mayer.
Vince Marotta of Illustrated Properties represented the buyers but declined to comment on the sale. Mark Griffin from Bear’s Club Sotheby’s International Realty managed the listing.
Meadlock previously worked as an IBM engineer and spent 12 years on the Apollo space program. He later founded M&S Computing, which became Intergraph, an early company in computer-aided design software. Intergraph was sold to Hexagon AB in 2010 for $2.1 billion.
The Meadlocks purchased another house at 146 Bear’s Club Drive for $19 million in November through an off-market deal and listed it for $26.5 million in December. They also own a penthouse at Passages of Jupiter Island, bought in 1986 for $600,000 and recently listed for $11 million.
Jimmy Mayer leads Inversiones Sanford, a manufacturing conglomerate based in Colombia. Property records show he bought the 2.9-acre estate at 118 Bear’s Club Drive for $900,000 in 2000 and constructed a 23,000-square-foot mansion there in 2010. The home features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, a guest house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as amenities such as a pool, gym and safe room.
The property has been listed intermittently since 2021 when it first appeared on the market for $30 million; its price increased to $44 million last November.
This sale adds to recent high-value transactions within Bear’s Club—a gated community known for luxury real estate and notable residents like Michael Jordan and Rory McIlroy. Last year saw retired Patrón CEO Ed Brown sell his mansion there for a record-setting $48 million.
