Once the “Winter White House” of, the estate also achieved cinematic fame as the Frank Lopez residence in Scarface, with original architectural elements still preserved, including the iconic glass elevator. Offers 5BR + gym (can be converted to 6th BR) 7+2BA, and approximately 13,500 SF (per owner) across three levels, featuring soaring 24’+ ceilings, marble floors, and walls of glass framing breathtaking bay views.

Resort-style grounds include a piano-shaped saltwater pool, cabana bath, lush tropical landscaping, and expansive lawn areas with artfully integrated lighting extending the estate’s experience well beyond sunset. A private marina, formerly a presidential helipad—features rare 3-phase power and dockage for yachts up to 200’, plus over 34,000 SF of submerged land, making this one of Miami’s most significant and irreplaceable waterfront holdings in the world.
