Darwin Deason cuts price of Versailles‑inspired La Jolla mansion

Tech billionaire Darwin Deason has reduced the asking price of his 13,000‑square‑foot "Sand Castle" estate in La Jolla to $87.5 million, down from $108 million. The French Palace‑styled home features imported marble, gold accents and sand from Augusta National. It remains San Diego's priciest residential listing, aiming to breach the $100 million threshold and attract high‑net‑worth buyers.
