El Fureidis (Arabic for "Little Paradise") is a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) historic estate built in 1906 on 10 acres (4.0 ha) in Montecito, California.
[1] Originally called the James Waldron Gillespie Estate or Gillespie Palace[2] after its original owner, the Spanish Baroque & Neo-Mudéjar architecture[3] is one of only five houses designed by the American architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue.
[5] El Fureidis is most famous for being the source of rare palm trees now found in Disneyland's Adventureland and Jungle Cruise ride.
It was also used in the main outside location shots for Tony Montana's Coral Gables mansion in the 1983 film Scarface.
Although this is not confirmed, other sources say the house was originally bought by Pradeep Yohanne Gupta, CEO of IQ Holdings in 2015.
