The home that served as a stand-in for Tony Montana’s Florida mansion in Oliver Stone’s classic 1983 film “Scarface” is now on the market.
Located at 631 Para Grande Lnin Montecito, California, the historic home was built in 1906 by James Waldon Gillespie and is known as “El Fureidis,” which translates to “Tropical Paradise.”
According to the list, the estate has been home to many important celebrities and historical figures over the years, such as Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, and John F. Kennedy, to name a few.
But the house is probably best known as the fictional Coral Gables house where Al Pacino utters the famous phrase “Say hello to my boyfriend.”
Although most of “Scarface” was filmed in Miami and Miami Beach, some scenes were shot in California, such as when Tony mows down 20 would-be killers after snorting a mountain of cocaine.
The 11,547-square-foot home sits on 10 acres and features seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a Byzantine-style conversation hall, guesthouse, multiple fountains, swimming pool and sculptures created by Lee Lawrie, known for “Atlas”, in front of the Rockefeller Center in New York.
The estate is currently asking for $39,995,000 and the listing agent is Robert Riskin, of Riskin Partners Estate Group.
