Tyler Perry’s Former Buckhead Mansion Back on the Market for $25M

*Evangelist David Turner has placed his Buckhead mansion up for sale two years after purchasing it from Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry.

Turner bought the home from Perry for $17.5 million in 2016, according to Buckhead.com.

As noted by ajc.com, the French Provincial mansion sits on 17 acres and is nearly 35,000 square feet. Its sale in 2016 was believed to be the priciest purchase of an individual home in Atlanta history.

Turner is pricing the mansion at the same amount that Perry attempted in 2015. Perry ultimately had to shave off $7.5 million.

The property was once occupied by a long-time segregationist Moreton Rollston who owned an Atlanta motel that refused to integrate.

“To have this property was such poetic justice,” Perry told New York magazine in 2016.

This mansion has seven bedrooms, an underground ballroom, a parking deck, a separate “hobby house,” an infinity edge swimming pool with bar, a lighted tennis court and a remote control airplane runway.

Perry purchased the property in 2007 for $9 million and spent millions more building out the current mansion.

At the time Turner purchased the home, he explained why to Buckhead.com: “God literally told me to come here. I went online and I saw this house, and that’s when I felt like God told me, ‘This is your house.’”
