This mansion has music in its bones.
Heavy metal star David Draiman, lead vocalist of Disturbed, has sold his lavish South Florida lair for $5 million, Gimme Shelter has learned — and to another musician, no less.
The buyer is reggaeton artist Félix Ortiz Torres of Puerto Rico who, together with Gabriel Pizarro, make up Zion & Lennox.
Draiman, of hits like “Down with the Sickness,” bought the modern Spanish-Moroccan villa for $5.22 million last March and first listed it for $5.5 million in May. It was last asking $5.19 million. He had previously owned homes in Honolulu, Austin, Chicago and Los Angeles.
The seven-bedroom, 6½-bath home, at 12650 SW 77th Ave., is in the Miami suburb of Pinecrest. Built in 2008, the 6,583-square-foot gated home is picture-perfect. It features a chef’s kitchen, an outdoor kitchen, a home theater, a wine gallery, a main bedroom suite with a private terrace, a courtyard, a koi pond and a spiral staircase to a lagoon-style pool. There’s also a guest house on the property.
Chicago-founded Disturbed, which launched in 1994, is still coming out with hits like last year’s “Divisive.”
New York-born Draiman has also been open about his struggles with depression and his recent weight-loss journey.
At a concert in West Palm Beach last August, he revealed a soft side when he invited a young concert goer who was singing her heart out to join him on stage. She started to cry and he left the stage and stopped the concert for a moment to comfort her, sharing that his 9-year-old son was also at the concert. “See, I love, absolutely love, that Disturbed concerts have become a family affair. I love it,” he told concert-goers, according to reports.
The listing broker was Carl Gambino of Compass. The buyer’s broker was Markel Berto of Avanti Way Realty.
