Tyler Perry's Beverly Hills Megamansion Hits the Market

Chateau Reve, Tyler Perry's gated compound in Beverly Ridge Estates, is on the market. It's nearly 25,000 square feet on 22.5 acres, and the first question Reddit asked wasn't about the price. It was what a person actually does with all that space.

A Trophy Estate, Room by Room

The 24,592-square-foot home has 9 bedrooms and 15 baths, laid out in a symmetrical butterfly plan that opens from a soaring foyer with a sweeping curved staircase. Downstairs are a living room, dining room, private study, chef's kitchen with butler's pantry, and family room, plus four ensuite guest bedrooms across two wings, a gym with steam shower, a music hall, wine storage, and full staff accommodations. The primary suite has its own fireplace, a secluded deck, dual spa-style baths, separate walk-in closets, a sitting room, and dedicated massage and salon rooms. Upstairs are a 24-seat home theater, a bar, an entertainment lounge, a game room, and two more ensuite bedrooms with balconies over the canyon views. The whole property sits behind 24-hour guard-gated security.

The Backstory and the Fine Print

Perry bought the land in 2004 for $4.3 million and completed the house in 2012. Press reports say it has hosted guests including Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama, and that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stayed there in 2020. The sale comes as Perry has said he plans to move to Puerto Rico in early 2027, and he has also listed a Wyoming retreat. Two practical notes from the thread: much of the acreage is usable, but it sits on different levels instead of one flat parcel, and a public hiking trail runs along roughly half the perimeter. Reddit's guess was that anyone spending this much would have the security covered.

The Internet Has Thoughts

Naturally, this listing caught the attention of Reddit's r/zillowgonewild community, where the poster said no single room made them say "wow," just a lot of normal rooms in a very big house, and called the home theater tacky. Commenters asked what a normal human being needs with 25,000 square feet, with one saying 2,000 to 2,500 is their sweet spot. A person who works in film and TV said some mansions this size are mostly empty and described them as pure vanity projects. Others wondered why so many California estates are hitting the market at once, and pointed out that many were bought decades ago at a fraction of today's value.
