Overview
- The waterfront estate in Key Biscayne is on the market for $237 million, and no sale has been reported.
- If it sells near that figure, it would top Miami-Dade’s record set in March when Mark Zuckerberg bought a property for about $170 million on Indian Creek.
- The 13,000-square-foot home sits on 2.38 acres with 868 feet of bay frontage, a dock, a 20,000-square-foot overwater helipad, a piano-shaped pool, five bedrooms, and a steel-and-glass elevator.
- The house gained fame as Frank Lopez’s residence in the 1983 film Scarface, and the site earlier formed part of Richard Nixon’s so-called Winter White House compound where a helipad was installed.
- Built around 1981 by Roberto Striedinger, later convicted for smuggling cocaine, the property was seized by the U.S. government and resold, and current owner John Devaney says he is listing it because wealthy buyers are flocking to Florida.
