Steve Harvey Acquires Tyler Perry's Opulent Buckhead Mansion For $15 Million

The huge 17-acre estate in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, Georgia, that was for a few years the home of actor, director, and playwright Tyler Perry now belongs to another big name in comedy: talk show host and author Steve Harvey. TMZ reports that Harvey has purchased the sprawling and elaborate mansion for a cool $15 million. This acquisition has generated buzz in both the real estate and entertainment communities, showcasing the luxurious lifestyle that comes with such an investment.

Interestingly, Harvey didn’t buy the mansion directly from Perry. After acquiring it in 2007 for a reported $9 million and making extensive renovations, Perry sold it in 2016 for $17.5 million. This means Harvey managed to snag the property at a bargain price, while the previous owner, evangelist David Turner, saw a $2.5 million loss in the transaction. This scenario highlights the fluctuating nature of luxury real estate markets.

Nevertheless, the estate is nothing short of magnificent. With almost 35,000 square feet of living space, it features seven bedrooms and numerous amenities that cater to ultimate comfort and entertainment. Among these are a subterranean ballroom, a home gym, a movie theater, an indoor resistance swimming pool, an infinity pool with a bar, a tennis court, and even a wine cellar. The official listing describes it as “perhaps the most compelling private residence to ever be offered to market in the history of Atlanta.”

Some other unique aspects of the estate include two gated secured residential entrances and a remarkable airplane runway designed for remote-controlled planes, which adds a whimsical touch to the property. As Steve Harvey settles into his new home, fans and real estate enthusiasts alike are eager to find out how he will make use of this extraordinary space.
