Fleming purchased 15 acres (61,000 m2) of land on a former donkey racetrack in 1946 after hearing about the property from a friend. The home was built on a cliff overlooking a private beach based on a sketch by the author and stressed such simple features as glassless windows. In 1976, 12 years after Fleming's death, Goldeneye was sold to reggae star Bob Marley. Shortly before his own death, Marley sold it to Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. For years he primarily used the estate as a place to entertain friends.
