Tyler Perry wants a farm… E. I. E. I. O! ?And on that farm, he wants some pigs… E. I. E. I. O.!

Perry’s massive Atlanta mansion sold for a record breaking $17.5 million dollars just last month and now he’s moving on to greener acres… literally!

Details below…

When Perry sold his Atlanta residence, it set a record for the highest paid price ever for a private home in the Georgia capital.

Now he’s moving outside of city limits to build another yet another massive structure on 1,000 acres of farm land in Douglas County, Georgia.

While promoting his new movie ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’ (in theaters on June 2nd), the 45-year-old media mogul explained why he chose to move, stating:

“I know this sounds ridiculous, but I wanted more land so I bought more land outside of the city,”

“It’s the same distance to the studio as my old house, but now I can have horses and pigs and organic vegetables.”

Perry’s ‘old’ house measures in at 34,688 square feet and sits on 17 acres. The French Provincial-style estate includes seven bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, two kitchens, an 18-seat theater and a swimming pool with a waterfall (click HERE for photos).

What do you think of Perry’s decision to leave to ‘big city’ for farm life?
