THE South Beach mansion once owned by Italian designer Gianni Versace is headed for the auction block. The 2135 square metre home had previously been listed for $US125 million ($136 million). Originally built in 1930, the 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom, gated home features a 16.5m-long mosaic pool lined with 24-karat gold. The home at 1116 Ocean Drive received national attention in 1997, when Versace was fatally shot in front of the property. He had bought the home in 1992 and spent about $US33 million renovating. The property had been operating as a 10-room boutique hotel but closed earlier this year.
