Tyler Perry’s luxurious former home, featured in his 2005 hit film, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” is on the market.

The epitome of luxury, this ritzy residence sprawls across 16,000 square feet, with towering ceilings, a sweeping staircase, myriad luxe finishes, and immaculate 11-acre grounds.

Fans with deep pockets might want to pounce on the estate in the Chattahoochee Hills neighborhood of Fairburn, Ga., outside Atlanta. The sleek dwelling is available for $4 million and will likely be up for auction soon.

Perry purchased the land for the estate in 2001, then spent nearly two years building the lavish, 16,532-square-foot home to his exacting specifications. He moved into the place in 2003. While he has made other jaw-dropping, residential real estate deals in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles, Perry held onto this one until 2018, when he sold it for $2,190,000.

The current owner has attempted to rent out the home for as much as $25,000, and has listed it for sale for as much as $5,950,000 since then. The house was slated to be auctioned off in November, but the auction didn’t take place and will likely be rescheduled for early 2024, according to a Platinum Auctions spokesperson.
