Scarface Estate in Key Biscayne Lists for $237 Million

A waterfront compound in Key Biscayne, Florida, that served as Frank Lopez's home in the 1983 film Scarface is on the market for $237 million, making it one of the most expensive listings globally. The 2.38-acre property features a private helipad originally built for President Richard Nixon's Marine One, a piano-shaped swimming pool, 862 feet of waterfront, a private marina, and a semicircular stainless steel and glass elevator seen in the film. Investor John Devaney purchased the home in 2003 for $15 million plus $15 million for adjacent parcels after spotting the helipad during a helicopter lesson. The main residence, built around 1981 by pilot Roberto Striedinger, spans roughly 13,000 square feet and retains original details from the film, including colorful wall-mounted toilets. The estate was part of Nixon's Winter White House in the 1970s; his original bungalow was demolished in the early 2000s. Devaney, who moved in with his family in 2007, made minimal updates. He cited timing and demand from wealthy buyers as reasons for selling, noting that his children are grown and he plans to travel more. The listing follows Mark Zuckerberg's record $170 million purchase on nearby Indian Creek Island.
