NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rice House Atlanta — a 36,000-square-foot Grecian fortress known as one of the "safest homes in America" — will sell at auction via Concierge Auctions' online marketplace. Inspired by the iconic Acropolis of Athens, the Greek Revival-style home is set against the Chattahoochee River in the prestigious Country Club of the South, just north of Atlanta. While the secure, 900-plus-acre community development — home to many affluent celebrities — is patrolled 24 hours a day, the estate also features an embedded security system by renowned global security expert and founder of Strategically Armored and Fortified Environment (SAFE), Al Corbi.

Currently listed for $14.7 million, the estate will Sell At or Above $3.9 million in cooperation with Paul Wegener of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty. Bidding will open on September 18^th and close on September 20^th. The Rice House awaits final completion decisions on interior and exterior finishes, providing one lucky bidder the opportunity to realize the incredible potential of the estate. To ensure a smooth transaction for the new owner, general contractors, architects, engineers, and landscape design are available for consulting on-site.

"This is a unique opportunity to complete a true masterpiece," stated Wegener. "While the estate currently stands as a stately fortress with the necessary foundations to last a thousand years, it has the potential to be an extraordinary presidential or diplomatic compound, equipped with amenities to provide a luxurious, private lifestyle." 

A masterpiece-in-progress in terms of design, security, and innovation, 9110 Barkston Way is set on more than three acres including a 15,000-square-foot bunker with command center and concealed entrances/exits. Boasting panoramic views of the lake and woodlands, the property features world-class architectural design. Its embedded security system includes safe core rooms in the master and guest bedrooms; decorative door closures from Peetz, Frankfurt Germany; and remote-operated ballistic doors and walls, which are designed to be impenetrable.

The property features nine fireplaces with masonry construction throughout, wine cellar location with a hand-chiseled ceiling , a concealed conversation tunnel, observation tower, and an infrared sauna. Additional amenities include an octagonal glass conservatory location at the infinity pool; a bank vault room; a 750-square-foot home theater location; a two-lane bowling alley location; a two-station gun range location with a concealed entry and secret escape access; and a time capsule with a bronze medallion cover, created to preserve personal artifacts. In addition to two commercial-sized elevator locations offering high speeds between floors, the home includes three kitchen locations — a traditional, summer, and catering kitchen — and a 5,000-square-foot car vault. All water sources on the development are passed through a water purification system and the estate includes three means of power supply — municipal, generator, and solar.
