From the listing
485 W Matheson Drive is one of America’s most iconic waterfront estates, representing a rare convergence of presidential history, cinematic legacy, and unparalleled waterfront scale. Set on approximately 2.38 acres with an extraordinary 862’ of direct Biscayne Bay frontage, the property captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the Miami skyline and open bay, offering a level of presence and exclusivity rarely found in South Florida. Once the “Winter White House” of, the estate also achieved cinematic fame as the Frank Lopez residence in Scarface, with original architectural elements still preserved, including the iconic glass elevator. Offers 5BR + gym (can be converted to 6th BR) 7+2BA, and approximately 13,500 SF (per owner) across three levels, featuring soaring 24’+ ceilings, marble floors, and walls of glass framing breathtaking bay views. Expansive living, dining, and kitchen areas open to large terraces, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living ideal for both everyday comfort and grand-scale entertaining. Resort-style grounds include a piano-shaped saltwater pool, cabana bath, lush tropical landscaping, and expansive lawn areas with artfully integrated lighting extending the estate’s experience well beyond sunset. A private marina, formerly a presidential helipad—features rare 3-phase power and dockage for yachts up to 200’, plus over 34,000 SF of submerged land, making this one of Miami’s most significant and irreplaceable waterfront holdings in the world.

Florida risk facts
- Flood zone
- Zone AE: high-risk flood area. A FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (about a 1% chance of flooding each year). Lenders require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages here. Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, checked Oct 29, 2026. This is a map lookup, not an official flood zone determination.
- Wind and building code
- Built in 1981, before the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002. Ask for the wind mitigation report; it can lower insurance. My Safe Florida Home offers free inspections and grants when funded.
- Disclosure
- Florida sellers must give you a flood disclosure about known flood damage, insurance claims and federal assistance (§689.302).
We don't show crime scores or rate neighborhoods. Every listing is open to everyone.
