Tyler Perry‘s Atlanta Mansion hit the market on June 2015 with an asking price of $25 million and after almost a year of being on the market, it has sold for a record price of $17.5 million, though a far cry from the original price, it is still enough to earn it the trophy, if any, for the most expensive house to ever sell in Atlanta. The sale was handled by Josh Reeves and Chase Mizell at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty but the buyer remains unknown. Hitherto, the most expensive house ever sold in Atlanta was a Buckhead Estate which in 2009 sold for $10.5 million.
Perry’s mansion is widely dubbed Atlanta’s Versailles considering its grandiose size. The extravagant villa was built back in 2007 and sits on a very secluded 17 acre plot. The French Provincial measures 34,688 square foot and includes 7 bedrooms, 9 full bathrooms and 5 half bathrooms.
