Steve Harvey has put his long-time Sandy Springs villa up for sale, six years after moving to an even larger estate in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The 'Family Feud' host acquired the six-bedroom home in 2010 for $3.38 million and used it as his primary residence for approximately a decade.
In 2020, Harvey purchased a larger property from Tyler Perry for $15 million. He initially offered his former property for $5.1 million earlier this year and has since reduced the asking price by $350,000. Harvey continues filming 'Family Feud' about an hour away in Fayetteville.
Property Details
The residence, spanning over 17,000 square feet and situated on an elevated plot overlooking the Chattahoochee River, draws inspiration from traditional European architecture. Formal mouldings, intricate woodwork, as well as stone, timber, and metal surfaces characterise the interiors, with the living areas featuring Parisian salon influences. A lift connects the various levels, and terraces and balconies extend several rooms, offering views of the surrounding trees.

One of the house's distinctive features is a ballroom-style level designed for receptions, providing ample space for significantly larger gatherings than the main living rooms. Other amenities include a home cinema, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a gymnasium, and a steam room. Outside, stone steps lead to two sweeping staircases framing an infinity pool on the upper terrace. The water spills over the pool's edge, creating an impressive water feature between the steps.
Background to the Sale
Harvey's decision to sell comes long after the villa ceased to be his family's primary residence. In 2020, the family moved to a substantially larger, $15 million estate in Georgia, which he acquired from Tyler Perry. After 16 years of ownership, Harvey now appears ready to part with the home he has not inhabited for years. By reducing the asking price to $4.75 million, he likely hopes to attract a buyer.
