Renowned entertainment figure Tyler Perry is putting his grand 23-acre California residence on the market for an asking price of $57 million. Perry originally acquired the land in 2004 for $4.3 million and dedicated nearly a decade to constructing a magnificent 25,000-square-foot home on the expansive plot. The result of this ambitious endeavor is a lavish sanctuary featuring eight bedrooms and fifteen bathrooms, all nestled within a secure, gated community.
This impressive property, designed with a distinctive butterfly-shaped layout, offers a host of luxurious amenities including a personal library, a state-of-the-art home theater, a fully equipped gym, a salon, specialized massage rooms, extensive wine storage, and a sparkling swimming pool. Additionally, the estate includes a separate one-bedroom guesthouse and dedicated staff living quarters, which have previously accommodated notable guests such as former President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey. The estate notably provided a secure haven for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2020 during their transition from royal duties, before their subsequent return to the UK.
Perry's decision to sell this Beverly Hills property follows his recent listing of a custom retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for $40 million. Looking ahead, the Madea creator is preparing for a significant life change, intending to move to Puerto Rico by the beginning of the new year, signaling a conscious effort to scale back his famously busy career and embrace a more relaxed lifestyle.
