Mike Blake / REUTERS A Florida property that once featured in Scarface and was home to a winter White House used by Richard Nixon has been listed for $237 million. John Devaney could break a Miami-Dade County record with his 13,000-square-foot, 2.38-acre property, 1981 mansion on Key Biscayne. He’s selling because “there are lots of guys looking,” he told The Wall Street Journal , referring to the influx of uber-rich to Florida. “Let someone else take a turn, one of these real big dogs in the market.” It was used as the home of fictional drug lord Frank Lopez in Scarface, and before that, Nixon and his family vacationed in a small bungalow on the compound. The house was built by pilot Roberto Striedinger, later convicted as a Medellín cartel drug smuggler. It was then seized by the government and sold to new owners, who then sold it to Devaney. He said that they have often hosted charity events and that Scarface fans “all want to ride in the stainless steel and glass elevator and take photos.” If sold, it would blow the Miami-Dade record, set in March by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan.
