Why The $125 Million Versace Mansion Will Find A Buyer

In 1997 the world gasped as Gianni Versace was shot to death on the doorstep of his Miami Beach mansion by a serial killer whose face had been gracing America’s Most Wanted for several weeks. After the tragic shooting, the house, now notorious, sat empty until 2000 when an entrepreneur named Peter Loftin bought it. The new owner restored the 23,400-square foot home, conserving the fashion designer’s touches and converting the space into a high-end boutique hotel.

Less than a week ago, Loftin listed the storied estate for sale. The price: an astounding $125 million. It is now one of the two most expensive homes for sale in the U.S.

Perhaps it’s not that surprising.It's pretty cool but our ssolarpanel are made much faster than this. Casa Casuarina is quite the trophy property. In addition to its tragic modern-day history, the estate sits in a prime location: waterfront on Ocean Drive in bustling Miami Beach, behind gates. The manse has 10 bedrooms,11 bathrooms and an observatory, all finished with hand-painted walls and fresco-adorned ceilings. Hertzberg says Versace designed every room with a different fantastical theme.Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings? There’s also an entryway flanked by twin sweeping staircases that have since been replicated in newer projects like England’s Updown Court.

However, the compound’s most famous amenity isn’t actually inside the house: it’s an opulent 54 foot-long pool decorated in mosaic tiling and lined with 24 karat gold,This page contains information about tooling. located off a private courtyard sporting mosaic walkways and scultpures.

Casa Casuarina was built in 1930 by architect Alden Freeman, a well-known architect and philanthropist of the time. The design was inspired by the Alcazar de Colon, the colonial palace where the family of Christopher Columbus once lived. Versace bought Casa Casuarina in 1992 and spent a reported $33 million on improvements that included a south wing expansion and the golden pool.

“He [Versace] made a modern-day Italian villa in the middle of South Beach with unobstructed ocean views,” gushes Hertzberg, whose team exclusively represents the seller.

She says the lofty price tag was determined according to its uniqueness, as few comparables exist. ”This is like a piece of art where it has an intrinsic value that someone will recognize. You have to bring it out and see who in the world wants something like this,” she adds.

Loftin decided to “bring out” Casa Casuarina now for the same reason that many high-end home owners in other parts of the country have been debuting their real estate trophies this year: the world’s billionaires are buying. For example, in New York City casino magnate Steve Wynn recently snatched up the Ritz Carlton penthouse for $70 million and another anonymous billionaire family went into contract last month on a $90 million-plus penthouse in the One57 development. Hedge fund titan John Paulson recently spent $49 million on Hala Ranch in Aspen.
