A fairytale-esque Atlanta mansion is being offered for sale for the very first time, and one lucky buyer will soon be living lavishly like a king — as long as they have $8 million to dish out.

Set less than 20 minutes away from downtown Atlanta, 4660 Jett Rd. embodies a luxury retreat, somehow balancing both coziness and grandeur effortlessly. Except, unlike exotic European resorts, this is a sanctuary you can come home to every night. 

The castle-like property sits on a lush three acres of pristine forest, ensuring maximal privacy and discretion — all without compromising world-class metropolitan amenities.

Practically in its backyard lies the posh neighborhood of Buckhead, complete with upscale malls, restaurants, and art galleries — not to mention Atlanta’s recreation and entertainment haven, Chastain Park. 

And future owners will be hobnobbing with some quite high-profile celebrity neighbors.

Rapper Cardi B lives less than a mile away, while funnyman Steve Harvey’s house is roughly 7 minutes away from the palatial Sandy Springs house.

Location and sprawling size aside, it’s easy to understand why 4660 Jett Rd. racks up its multi-million price tag.

Back in 2005, architect Bill Harrison built the home with unparalleled attention to detail. All 16,000 square feet of this 7-bed, 11-bath estate exude class and timeless taste.

Featuring all the bells and whistles of a classy European estate but with a contemporary twist, this opulent home leaves no desire unaccounted for. 

Unrivaled craftsmanship comes to light as soon as you approach the jaw-dropping exterior, constructed of hand-cut Tennessee limestone and topped with a 100-year slate roof that marries luxury with long-lasting quality.

The estate’s interior is just as impressive as its dramatic facade, with warm wood paneling and blazing fireplaces throughout that provide the right atmosphere to unwind in lavish luxury.

Boasting a spacious floorplan, the kitchen — which features a walk-in pantry and an additional prep kitchen — seamlessly flows into the living area allowing for uninterrupted socialization among guests and family.

Soaring vaulted ceilings generously let in natural light while providing views of the luscious landscaped grounds beyond.

The future owner can get the princess (and prince) treatment with an opulent master suite complete with a lofty upscale bathroom with its own sauna along with his and hers walk-in closets.

The estate exudes ‘party host’ appeal with a fully finished basement boasting an additional kitchen, billiard room, and wine cellar.

It’s easy to shift gatherings outdoors, as the basement opens to a covered outdoor entertainment area with a hot tub and massive pool beyond. 

Meanwhile, the estate’s wraparound daylight terrace provides a more relaxed and private way to bask in the enchanted outdoor scenery.

The modern-day castle conveniently features state-of-the-art technology like a comprehensive home automation system and an elevator for the days when you don’t feel like taking the three-story spiraling staircase. 

A separate guest apartment along with four garages, a workshop, and spacious parking, can effortlessly accommodate all the king’s horses and all the king’s men.
