Say hello to this Montecito, CA, estate. The stunning property known as El Fureidis, which stood in for a Miami mansion in 1983’s “Scarface,” is on the market for $17.9 million.
The home’s visionary founder, James Waldron Gillespie, came from a wealthy New York banking family and desired to go west. He tapped his friend, renowned architect Bertram Goodhue, to build him an estate in a Mediterranean style—and he wanted a climate to match.
