Fine Jerusalem limestone was used to make all the exterior columns, railings, and trim, and the grand saltwater pool and patio area makes for a dramatic setting for outdoor entertaining.

Upholding its southern tradition, the home doesn’t fall short on verandas with upper level private ones, sweeping lower level verandas and more tucked in between to capture the enticing landscape, states TopTenRealEstateDeals. 

The local area is also highly desirable and Suwanee has been includes in top ten lists for years as one of the best places in the country to live and raise a family.

Yet the house has remained on the market since it was completed and was originally listed for $17 million in 2012.

Perhaps the seller’s opulent taste is a little OTT for some. There is little doubt that any possible buyers would want to stamp their own personality on it and perhaps replace the fittings in some of the 22 different kitchens and bathrooms which already looked rather dated.
