June 22--Comic actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry has listed his mega riverfront estate in the wealthy Paces neighborhood of Atlanta for sale at $25 million.
This is a mansion with a capital M.
Set on 17 acres of woodland and park-like grounds that feature an enormous waterfall swimming pool and a tennis court, the 34,668-square-foot French Provincial-style residence was completed in 2007 and has a resort vibe.

There are formal gardens with fountains, lawn and statuary and two gated entrances with security.
Perry, 45, is known for his recurring role as Madea, an elderly woman he has portrayed in such films as "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" (2002), "Madea's Witness Protection" (2012) and "Tyler Perry's Madea's Neighbors From Hell" (2014).
