Jim Meadlock, a former IBM engineer who contributed to the Apollo space program, has purchased his second residence in Jupiter’s Bear’s Club for $34.3 million. The property at 118 Bear’s Club Drive was acquired by a trust belonging to his wife, Cynthia Meadlock, from Brighton Investment SA, a Panamanian entity associated with Colombian billionaire Jimmy Mayer.
Vince Marotta of Illustrated Properties represented the buyers but declined to comment on the transaction. Mark Griffin of Bear’s Club Sotheby’s International Realty managed the listing.
Meadlock spent 12 years working on the Apollo missions before founding M&S Computing, which later became Intergraph. In 2010, Intergraph was sold to Hexagon AB of Stockholm for $2.1 billion.
In November, Jim and Cynthia Meadlock bought another house at 146 Bear’s Club Drive for $19 million through an off-market deal. That property was listed with Marotta for $26.5 million in December, according to Zillow data.
The couple also owns a full-floor penthouse at Passages of Jupiter Island located at 19750 Beach Road. They purchased it in 1986 for $600,000 and listed it earlier this month for $11 million with Jeremy Browne and Thomas Hughes of Compass.
Jimmy Mayer leads Inversiones Sanford, a manufacturing group based in Colombia. He acquired the nearly three-acre site at 118 Bear’s Club Drive in 2000 for $900,000 and constructed the approximately 23,000-square-foot mansion in 2010. The estate features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, as well as a guest house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Additional amenities include a pool, gym and safe room.
The property has been on and off the market since 2021 when it was first listed at $30 million; its price increased to $44 million last November per Zillow records.
This sale is among several high-value transactions in Bear’s Club—a gated community recognized for its exclusive golf club designed by Jack Nicklaus and notable residents such as Michael Jordan and Rory McIlroy. Last year saw retired Patrón CEO Ed Brown sell his home there for a record-setting $48 million.
