Iranian-American home developer Fred Milani is selling his Atlanta home, a scaled-down version of the US Presidential White House. There is an Oval Office, American flags everywhere you turn, and the whole estate may be yours for $9.88 million.

The estate has become an Atlantan tourist attraction in itself, with 16,500 square feet of White House replication. Though with very tight security, the interior is like a presidential sanctuary. Some of the bedrooms also have presidential themes, with such rooms as the Lincoln bedroom, which features a mural of Abraham Lincoln and the Emanicipation Proclamation.

Some are saying this “forced sale” is a depressing reality of the current economic situation, as Milani himself made his fortune on real estate throughout America.

However, Milani himself remains in good humour about the situation, as he said to the New York Times, “I may build the Congress building across the street.”
