A luxurious mansion formerly owned by deceased Gambino crime family boss Paul “Big Paul” Castellano has been taken off the market after no offers were made at the $18 million list price for a year, according to Realtor.com.

The Staten-Island, New York property was custom-built for Castellano, who lived there for just five years before being gunned down outside a Manhattan steakhouse in 1985. Building the 33,000-square-foot, eight-bedroom, 16.5-bathroom estate took four years, and the mob boss reportedly had it designed to resemble the White House.

That presidential theme is clear from the facade, fronted by two large columns and giant floor-to-ceiling windows. The manicured grounds include several lush gardens, a large swimming pool, and a circular driveway with a fountain at its center. Exterior terraces line the home’s upper stories.

An ornate interior features marble floors, chandeliers, and intricate crown molding accentuating the high ceilings in many of the rooms. Other amenities include a second indoor pool, a wine cellar, a home theater, and a sauna, Realtor.com reports.

Everything about the property projects wealth, success, and power, all of which Castellano had in abundance. He was at the height of that power when he was targeted by assassins hired by then-Gambino family member John Gotti, who took over as boss and found infamy as the “Teflon Don” before going to prison in 1992 and dying there ten years later.

Castellano’s former mansion, located in Staten Island’s exclusive Todt Hill neighborhood, has changed hands three times since his murder. The most recent purchase was for $3.1 million in August 2000, by Selim “Sal” Rusi, according to Realtor.com. Since then, the property has been listed a number of times. The first came in 2014 for $3 million, and the second was for $16.8 million in October 2023.

The property went back on the market for $18 million in October 2024, but a year later, there were no takers. It might be reasonable to wonder if the home’s historic association with a notorious criminal like Castellano is hurting its marketability, but listing agent Melsa Skrapalliu of RJM Realty Empire Inc. wouldn’t agree.

“When considering [the house], buyers are invited to look beyond its historical significance and appreciate the personal touch that defines this estate,” she told the New York Post after it was listed a year ago.

“Each renovation and design choice reflects the owner’s unique style, transforming the property into an elegant and inviting space that has hosted countless celebrations and cherished family moments,” she said.

The price could also be a major hurdle. Although it’s clear that Castellano’s mansion is an impressive piece of real estate, Realtor.com said it was also the most expensive listing on Staten Island.
