3540 Woodhaven Road in Buckhead’s Tuxedo Park neighborhood sold for $17 million on July 12, 2024, after being on the market for 177 days. That sale price was enough to put it in the top five highest sales of all time in Buckhead, but was 51% cheaper than the original asking price. This home, which took three years to build, is considered the largest home ever sold in Buckhead, with a footprint of 49,665 square feet. The buyer was 3540 Woodhaven Property LLC.
The home was one of the last designs personally overseen by architect Bill Harrison before his death in 2021. It was built by Brody Dernehl for a local family who called it home until its recent sale. The home sits on a 3.79-acre lot and features 11 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms (13 full and 7 half baths).
For recreation and entertainment, the property offers indoor and outdoor pools, a bowling alley, a basketball half court, a batting cage, a golf simulator room, a movie theater, a game room, a wine cellar and a grand ballroom. In addition, there is a large spa, a hair salon and expansive outdoor living areas such as a covered patio, a rear porch and landscaped gardens.
Security is top-notch and includes a top-level security system, impact-resistant glass for all ground floor windows and doors, and a secured 10-car garage. Above one of the five garages is a fully-equipped two-bedroom apartment. The property also features a professional elevator serving all four floors of the main house. Betsy Akers and Sam Bayne of Atlanta Fine Homes brokered the sale, which is now the second highest sale of the year behind a $19.8 million sale in the same neighborhood.
