Exaggeration has become a hallmark of today’s times. Everyone is bent on calling this or that the “biggest” or “best” or some other superlative.
This case doesn’t need stretching.
The 22,000-square-foot home on 3 acres that’s for sale along Forest Creek Lane in Ooltewah is practically a palace and most certainly a mansion.
Its $10 million asking price makes it the most expensive home ever to be listed for sale in Southeast Tennessee or Northwest Georgia, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
