The sale was revealed by MLSListings.com.
Musk is believed to now live in a $50,000 (£38,000) home in Texas that he rents from his own SpaceX company.
The SpaceX and Tesla CEO has repeatedly said that he’d like to sell all his possessions so he can build a human colony on Mars.
His 47-acre property in Hillsborough in the San Francisco Bay Area was the last on his list of houses to sell.
It seems the property finally sold on December 2 but the identity of the buyer remains unknown.

Musk has made a profit on the mansion, which he bought back in 2017 for around $23million (£17.4million).
He tried to sell it on for $37.5million (£28.4million) in June this year but failed to find a buyer and seems to have settled for a lower bid.
The billionaire has faced backlash over the San Francisco mansion after he kept it for a while despite vowing to sell all his homes for the Mars mission.
Musk previously argued that he’d kept it to rent out for “events”.
He’d previously called the home a “special place” and wanted to sell it to a family.
Now it’s sold, the SpaceX boss can focus more on his plans to send one million people to Mars by 2050.
Musk claims to have very few personal belongings of any value.
