Construction of the building is linked to the US multimillionaire of French origin Irenee Dupont de Nemours, who that same year bought 180 hectares in the Hicacos Peninsula, including eight kilometers of excellent beaches

The 11-room, 11-bathroom house has three terraces, seven balconies and a private pier. Its design includes precious timber, as well as beautiful marble from Cuba, Spain and Italy.

The house, named Xanadu Mansion was designed by the architects Cavarrocas and Govantes in 1927.

In 1932, Dupont installed an organ, which is considered the biggest one in a private residence in Latin America and which cost him 110,000 dollars at the time.
