3540 Woodhaven Road in Buckhead’s Tuxedo Park neighborhood sold on July 12th, 2024 for $17 million after 177 days on the market. This sale price was enough to land it in the top five sales of all time for Buckhead, but was 51% discount off the original asking price. This home, which took three years to construct, is believed to be the largest home to ever sell in Buckhead based on the square footage of 49,665 square feet. The buyer was 3540 Woodhaven Property LLC.
The home was one of the final designs personally overseen by architect Bill Harrison before his passing in 2021. It was built by Brody Dernehl for a local family that called it home until the recent sale. The home sprawls across a 3.79-acre lot, and features 11 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms (13 full and 7 half).
For recreation and entertainment, the estate includes both indoor and outdoor pools, a bowling alley, an indoor basketball half-court, a batting cage, a golf simulator room, a movie theater, a game room, a wine cellar, and a grand ballroom. Additionally, there is a large spa, a hair salon, and extensive outdoor living spaces such as a covered deck, rear porch, and landscaped gardens.
Security features are top-notch with a high-level security system, impact glass for all ground-level windows and doors, and a secured garage that can accommodate 10 cars; with a full two-bedroom apartment above one of the five bays. The property also includes a commercial-grade elevator that serves all four levels of the main house. Betsy Akers and Sam Bayne of Atlanta Fine Homes brokered the sale, which is now the 2nd highest sale of the year after a $19.8 million sale within the same neighborhood.
