Florida, Miami-Dade County, Key Biscayne, USA

Ref. Miami 283 - Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Biscayne Bay, 485 W Matheson Drive is one of America’s most iconic and irreplaceable residential properties—a true trophy asset that combines presidential heritage, cinematic history, and a scale of waterfront ownership virtually impossible to replicate in today’s market.

Spanning approximately 2.38 acres with more than 862 linear feet of direct bay frontage, the estate commands uninterrupted panoramic views of the Miami skyline and the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay, offering a level of prestige, privacy, and exclusivity reserved for an exceptionally select global clientele.

Historically known as the “Winter White House,” the residence also achieved worldwide recognition as the iconic home of Frank Lopez in the film Scarface. Today, it continues to preserve remarkable original architectural features, including the celebrated glass panoramic elevator that has become one of the property's most recognizable design elements.

Arranged across three levels and encompassing approximately 13,500 square feet of interior living space, the residence offers five bedrooms, a fitness suite easily convertible into a sixth bedroom, seven full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Monumental ceilings exceeding 24 feet in height, marble flooring, and dramatic walls of glass transform the bay views into a defining element of the living experience.

The principal living areas, formal dining spaces, and gourmet kitchen flow seamlessly onto expansive waterfront terraces, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle equally suited to everyday living and large-scale entertaining.

The outdoor amenities evoke the atmosphere of a private ultra-luxury resort. A spectacular piano-shaped saltwater swimming pool, private cabana with dedicated bath, mature tropical landscaping, and meticulously maintained lawns create an environment of extraordinary beauty and serenity, while sophisticated landscape lighting enhances the estate after sunset.

One of the property’s most exceptional features is its private marina—once utilized as a presidential helicopter landing facility—equipped with three-phase power and capable of accommodating yachts up to 60 meters in length, complemented by more than 34,000 square feet of privately controlled submerged land.

A truly historic and irreplaceable estate, widely regarded as one of the most significant waterfront residences in both Miami and the United States.
