Versace’s Miami Mansion Up For Auction


Serious inquiries only, please. The minimum bid is set for $25 million. To even see the property, potential buyers must sign a confidentiality agreement and prove they have the money to close a deal.

The firm auctioning off slain fashion mogul Gianni Versace's former villa claim the luxury Florida property has sparked a frenzy among potential foreign buyers. The Casa Casuarina failed to find a buyer when it was on the market last year, but the owners hope the buzz generated by an auction will convince someone to part with more than $40 million.
"We have been contacted by a bunch of international buyers, from Russia and a lot from South America," Adam Marshall, a lawyer at a firm that represents the latest owners, told AFP.


Though the Versace family hasn't owned the oceanfront mansion since 2000, auctioneers hope the Italian designer's legacy will attract bidders to the Miami Beach property when it goes up for auction Sept. 17. You can see and feel Versace's vision, Versace's soul everywhere. He's everywhere here. Versace lived and owned it and designed all you can see in this property. Casa Casuarina boasts 10 bedrooms and 11 baths, mosaic flooring and an array of frescoes and murals custom-made for Versace.

Let take a tour around the house:
