Georgia: The Wild West is lurking in town, tucked away in this $8.95 million dollar mansion.

News: Unique Wild West-style estate up for sale in Georgia
The town of Milton, near downtown Atlanta, Georgia, offers a unique opportunity to experience the Wild West. 81-year-old Ron Wallace, former president of the international company UPS and a fan of Westerns, not just built a house, but created a whole town in the style of the Wild West right inside it. The Wall Street Journal reports. And now the whole complex is offered for sale at a price of 8.95 million dollars.
Immediately imagine the saloon doors swinging open and revealing a bar with a vast array of poker chips and playing cards, and lights flashing in the windows of the local morgue. It's like stepping onto the set of a Hollywood Western, and to some extent, it is. Inspired by the 1993 classic "Tombstone," Wallace spared no expense in recreating the rough-hewn charm of the Wild West. The estate sits on approximately nine acres of land.
With the help of Six Flags amusement park chain designer Rick Clark, he took 4,000 square feet of his 25,000-square-foot estate to create a frontier-era living gomage. This wasn't just done out of love for Westerns, Wallace collects Westerns antiques and this gave him a place for his collections. Imagine life-sized rows of building facades, a sheriff's office (Wallace himself was a deputy sheriff, by the way), and dirt roads with hoof and wheel tracks of wagons. There were some limitations, however.
But it's not just for show, partner. Wallace and his wife Kate regularly organize charity events at their Western Paradise. They offer their guests the chance to step back in time to times past, from lessons in pistol tricks to high-stakes games of Faro, all faster than you can say, "Hello!" And it's not just the collection of Westerns that sets this mansion apart. With a 4,600 square foot garage and parking for 35 cars, Wallace's vintage car collection is the envy of motorists everywhere. On top of that, there are amenities like a movie theater, lounge, sauna and steam room - this is not your grandfather's house.
There is also a green space with ponds, waterfalls and a wooden walkway. It is no surprise that Wallace has decided to call Milton his home. However, it looks like the family will have to part with some funds in the process of selling this estate. They paid approximately $900,000 for the vacant land and another $11 million dollars to build the property. However, you may ask, why is Wallace parting with his Wild West dream? Sales agent Bonnie Smith of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty real estate network told the Journal that the Wallaces are deciding to downsize their home.
