C’mon Pelican! Scarface’s Mansion Hits The Block For $35 Million

The 10,000 sq. foot mansion Al Pacino’s legendary incarnation of Tony Montana lived (and died) in, in Brian De Palma’s 1983 classic Scarface, has gone on sale in Montecito, Calif. for a whopping $35 million, and we’ve got a look inside the fictional dealer’s digs.

The four-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate’s dining room is topped off by a ceiling portrait of Alexander the Great, painted in 24-carat gold leaf.

The mansion also played host to the 1943 wedding of Charlie Chaplin and Oona O'Neill, a famed Hollywood union that produced eight children.

The estate features a conversation room in the Byzantine-style.

Current owner Sergey Grishin, a Russian billionaire, purchased the home six years ago for $6.23 at a time the prices were depressed in a reeling real estate market.

Grishin is parting with the priceless residence, according to Village Properties Emily McBride Kellenberger, because it’s not his main home & he doesn’t spend much time there.

The Mediterranean-style manor comes with amazing views of both the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands.

Much of the filming had to be relocated from South Florida to Southern California due to protests from Miami’s Cuban community, over the way Cuban people were portrayed in the film.

In castings-that-never-were, Robert De Niro had been in talks to play Pacino’s lead role, while John Travolta was nearly inked to play Manny, the role that would go on to define actor Steven Bauer’s career.

The landscaping style for the breathtaking abode is heavily Persian-influenced, in particular, the estate’s fountains and gardens.

The home has multiple reflecting pools and other water-related amenities.

The dwelling, which was built in 1906, sits on a sprawling 10-acre estate.
