Tony Montana’s mansion from ‘Scarface’ lists in California for $40M. Take a look
The estate’s name is El Fureidis, but in Hollywood history, the 11,547-square-foot mansion will always be known as the place where Al Pacino’s character, Tony Montana, meets his violent end in Oliver Stone’s 1983 film “Scarface.”
It’s now on the real estate market in Montecito, California, for $39.99 million.
While the film was set in Miami, this seven-bedroom, 6.5-plus bathroom jewel sits in star-studded Santa Barbara County, which is known for its A-list celebrity residents, like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Mansion Global says.
The sprawling mansion was built in the early 1900s and designed by Bertram Goodhue, an architect known for his versatility. It sits on 10 showstopping acres that are garden heavy with “a remarkable range of specimen trees effusing grandeur and a romantic sense of time and place,” the listing on Village Properties says.
The estate was last bought in 2015 by CEO of IQ Holdings, Pradeep Yohanne Gupta, for $12.26 million after it was originally listed for $35 million, Business Insider reported.
According to the listing, Al Pacino isn’t the only star who has walked through the elegant hallways of El Fueirdis, which means “Tropical Paradise.” President John F. Kennedy, Albert Einstein, and Winston Churchill all, at one point, “spent time” at the estate.
Montecito is about five miles southeast of downtown Santa Barbara, and offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
Riskin Partners Estate Group holds the listing.
