Alabama’s largest house is for sale, and it can be yours for $5 million

Alabama’s largest house is on the market, and for $5 million, all 54,000-square-feet of it could be yours.

The massive estate, located at 7 Montagel Way in Birmingham’s Shoal Creek community, was recently listed by realtor Connie Alexander Jacks, with The Luxe Group at The Real Broker, as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” for those looking to live a life of luxury and sophistication. The home is the 44th largest house in the United States, coming in only slightly smaller than the White House.

The Versailles-style estate, which sits on 27 acres and features a long guitar-shaped driveway, offers its future homeowners 15 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms, 12 grand fireplaces, coffered details, mahogany doors, hand-painted frescoes, gold leafing, hand-selected marble and limestone finishes, high ceilings and many more stylish details.

Not to mention, the property also includes a 25-person theater, 10-car garage, commercial-grade elevator, 2,000 bottle capacity wine cellar, 3,000-square-foot guest house and an equestrian center designed to resemble those of Queen Elizabeth II, among other amenities.

The mansion was built in 1997 by Larry House, the former founder and CEO of MedPartners, and was designed by Birmingham architect Bill Sheppard. It was previously featured in AL.com’s “Cool Spaces” series in 2015. In 2020, it sold for $4.8 million, according to Realtor.com.

And while a cool $5 million sounds (and is) a lot, at only around $92 a square foot, some could make the argument this estate is a steal. If nothing else, she sure is fun to look at.
