Soccer superstar Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, have just paid almost $17 million for a stunning waterfront home in Florida as the couple complete their move to US.

The Argentine icon dropped $US10.8m ($A16.81m) on the Fort Lauderdale home in quiet off market deal.

According to the New York Post, the 10,486-square-foot (974 sqm) residence, sits in the Bay Colony gated community. It boasts eight bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms and a three-car garage — along with a classic Southern Florida pool and two docks.

This is what $17m gets you in Fort Lauderdale.

It’s the style of luxury ‘super’ home found in exclusive areas of Miami and featured in movies such as Scarface.

It’s also near the Inter Miami soccer stadium. Messi — who won the World Cup for his native Argentina in December — joined Inter Miami in July. The team is owned by David Beckham, Jorge and José Mas, and other investors.

Built in 1988, the home sits on 0.44 acres on a cul-de-sac, with 170 feet of waterfront. It was created by designer Lori Morris and featured in Florida Design magazine.

The home opens with a 27-foot-high domed ceiling, and also features a chef’s kitchen, a home gym and spa, an entertaining lounge, a home office and a massive 1,600-square-foot main bedroom suite.
