Tyler Perry Lists Opulent Former Chateau, prominently featured in his 2005 blockbuster Diary of a Mad Black Woman
This lavish abode, a symbol of luxury, sprawls across 16,000 square feet, boasting towering ceilings, an elegant sweeping staircase, luxurious finishes, and immaculate 11-acre grounds.
For those with deep pockets and a penchant for luxury living, this ritzy estate located in the Chattahoochee Hills neighborhood of Fairburn, GA, just outside Atlanta, can be yours for $4 million. The property is anticipated to go up for auction in the near future.
Tyler Perry acquired the land for this estate in 2001 and spent nearly two years meticulously constructing the 16,532-square-foot home to his exact specifications. He resided in the residence from 2003 until he sold it for $2,190,000 in 2018.
The current owner has attempted to rent out the home for as much as $25,000 and has previously listed it for sale at $5,950,000. Although a scheduled auction in November did not take place, a Platinum Auctions spokesperson suggests it will likely be rescheduled for early 2024.
Inspired by the grand chateaux of Europe, this six-bedroom, 7.5-bath estate features a gated entry leading to a circular motor court with a tiered fountain. The interior spans three stories with impressive elements such as 20-foot coffered ceilings, a mahogany staircase, crystal chandeliers, and abundant marble.
The residence also boasts multiple ornate fireplaces, a two-story great room, a sunken dining room, a wood-lined study with a spiral staircase, a music room, theater, and a gym. The primary suite on the main level encompasses 4,000 square feet, including a fireside sitting room, an elevated bed platform, a fireplace, and a Juliet balcony. The primary marble bath is adorned with dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub, a fireplace, and an expansive closet on the second level.
The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece with stone flooring, granite countertops, dual islands, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a turreted casual dining area offering stunning pool views.
The infinity-edged pool with a spa is surrounded by rolling lawns, an outdoor fireplace, and various lounging and dining areas. An expansive terrace provides breathtaking views of the grounds. The property also includes a grassy children’s play area, a tiered garden, and meticulously landscaped grounds with ponds, fountains, and cascading waterfalls. Paved stairs lead down to a tiered seating area and a professional-grade tennis court.
Tyler Perry, a multitalented figure known for his “Madea” blockbusters, boasts a current net worth estimated at $1 billiоn. Apart from his success in television and film, he owns and operates a major production studio in Atlanta, where notable projects like “The Walking Deаd” and “Black Panther” have been filmed.
