Ever wanted to live like a gangster?

Now is your chance as the stunning home and star of Scarface goes on the market for rental.

You will need to be earning a mob boss salary to match, however, as it is listed at a hefty $30k-a-month.

The aptly named ‘Little Paradise’, or, El Fureidis, is set over 10 acres of idyllic land in Santa Barbara, California, boasting lush Persian gardens, swimming pools and a rooftop terrace.

And inside, the 10,000-square-foot property doesn’t disappoint either.

Elaborate barrel-vaulted ceilings and beautiful tile-work frame many of the rooms, all of which offer sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the multiple palm trees that surround the home.

The dining room, for example, looks up to a dome covered with gold leaf.

Hallways are large and grand, bathed in California sunshine as it pours through multiple windows.

And an oversized living room makes space for poker and snooker tables – a must for any wannabe gangster.

The kitchen, on the other hand, is far less extravagant, decked out all in white, though a huge double fridge ensures there will always be plenty of food and drink for throwing parties.

It lies behind one of the home’s signature heavy oak doors.

Designed by American architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and completed in 1906, the epic mansion was the stage for the 1983 cult film Scarface.

It was sold to billionaire banker Sergey Grishin for $6.23m in 2009.

This is the second time DM has used the phrase “warm and homely” when they meant “warm and HOMEY”. Seriously, DM, are your “journalists” all volunteers from middle school or younger!?!

Could never live in peace and quiet with a full time crew working round the clock to maintain the place.
