Forget Texas, seems everything is bigger in Georgia.
While
it may not be the most expensive celebrity property around, Tyler
Perry's Atlanta home is definitely in the running for the biggest and
grandest celeb pads.
The 45-year-old star has just listed his astonishing mansion for sale for $25 million.
While $25
million might seem like a lot, the new owner is probably going to need a
map just to get from their bedroom to the bathroom in the
34,688-square-foot house, let alone navigate the sprawling property
itself.
Located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, Tyler's monstrous house sits on 17 acres of land.
Running
to the neighbours for a cup of sugar is certainly not an option as the
house is surrounded in stunning park-like land which also boasts views
of access to the
Chattahoochee River.
It is little wonder the listing describes the home as 'the most compelling private residence to ever be offered to market in the history of Atlanta'.
While getting to shops and activities is hardly a leisurely stroll, there is more than enough things to do on the estate.
The
property includes a competition size tennis court located over the top
of a tiered garage, a so-called hobby house when the outdoors get too
much, a movie theatre, a spa, a two-story library, and a fully equipped
gym.

But wait
there is certainly more, one of its most astonishing features includes
an underground ballroom with a full sized catering kitchen.
There is also one of the most spectacular pools that forms the centrepiece of the home.
Just
like a grand European estate, the French Provincial style mansion sits
being the giant circular infinity pool which would rival a major resort.
Around the brilliant blue pool is a paved patio that has space for lounging on onside and a bar-like seated area on the other.
The pool overlooks the property's formal and informal gardens as well as the forested acres.
Whoever
moves in is also about to get a whole lot of new friends as on the
property there is a large stand along guest home which would eclipse
most people's full time houses.
A few more people could no doubt stay in the property's carriage house or the caretaker's suit.
While the
home may be secluded Tyler has ensured he and his family - girlfriend
Gelila Bekele and their baby boy Aman - are more than safe.
On
the estate is a guard tower, two gated and patrolled entrances and what
has been described as a 'Presidential-level security system'.
That security system no doubt came in hand when President Obama came to stay and, of course, when Oprah Winfrey popped over too.
And, if anyone does need to get anywhere in a hurry or in just style, the home also has its own helipad.
Facilities
aside, the mansion caters for everything a wealthy person could want
with the best of the best finishes throughout - marble everywhere,
arched hallways and soaring ceilings as standard.
Inside the home, there are seven bedrooms - each of which has its own colour palette - and a casual 15 bathrooms.
Built in 2007, the creator of the Madea franchise's home also more grand fireplaces and chandeliers than most castles.
Tyler is understood to be giving up his castle as he is building a new one also in the Atlanta area.
