Location: Stonegate Road, Louisville, KY
Square Feet: 40,000
This 40,000 square foot mega-mansion is owned by John Schnatter. Schnatter is the founder, chairman, and CEO of the Papa John’s pizza chain. The castle-like mansion was designed by Don Evans, and Orlando architect. It also has a multilevel subterranean garage with 22 parking spaces, an office for valet parking, a built-in car wash and a giant motorized turntable to help move limousines. It is divided into 14 parking spaces for the family on one level and eight spaces for guests on another, with an elevator between the two floors. John had a net worth of $402.6 million back in 2006, a figure that has definitely risen over recent years.

Excellent view of pictures. I am really amazed seeing the total sq.foot area,i must really apreciate the architect for this wounderful architechture!!
This place is really cool! Especially the underground parking garage.
He must've done a lot of pre-planning this estate.
Such a lovely home for a man with such an unpleasant sister.
Who is his sister and what is it about her that is so “unplesant”?
She is a mean spirited brat
Charlotte,
I don’t know you.
What does John’s house have to do with your feeling about me?
Unless you are Charles H sister? And if that is true, you should be grateful that your nieces aren’t in prison for what they did to Papa John.
Sincerely,
Anne
Dear Q-Anne,
It is unfortunate that people would use this forum to express their negative feelings about you, such as “Charlotte”, whoever she may be. I doubt that out of the millions of people named Charlotte, this can be attributed to me, however, I understand the conclusiveness of it. Since that happened, I would like to contrast that with some of my positive comments and feelings. Just for the record! I have always, and still do, consider John and his entire family, especially you, a blessing to our community. During my brief period of involvement with you and your family, I found everyone to have integrity, honesty, sincerity, and uprightness in all situations, and it was my priviledge
to have shared time with you and your family.
On another note, the “nieces” could not have been placed “in prison for what they did to Papa John”, because they did not do anything to Papa John, unless simply riding with an adult (as a minor) is illegal, when the adult does something wrong. It is my understanding that the only legal adult involved in that situation, was prosecuted.
In addition, I honor John as the creator of both the business and the house, not as “The House that Papa John’s built”, as suggested in the email subject line. Both the business and the house came out of John’s great mind, not out of the business, so, John did it all.
In conclusion, thanks so much for forwarding this to me, as I hope my comments have helped to put a balance of positive in this forum as a possible affiliate through suggestion of “Charlotte” being “Charles H’s” sister.
Love

That’s a so unique estate.Few homes have so good exterior and even few so perfect underground garage.
The underground garage is possibly the best I have ever seen!!!
Anne,
Thank you for the email. The pictures of Johns house look great, however, I would give John all of the credit, not the business he created. Certainly reference should be made to his business, since he created both the business and the house, but since both are products of his great mind, credit should be exclusive to John for both. They are his creations!
I can understand your apparent agitation and potential conclusion concerning whoever Charlotte is, however, the “nieces” could not have been put “in prison” because of “what they did to Papa John”.
The “nieces” were minors, and most importantly, they did not do anything to John. They just happened to be in the car with the adults that threw a book, therefore complicit through association; certainly not responsible for other adults’ actions.
Personally, I think it is sad that anyone would be negative on this blog or use it to communicate anything other than admiration for a wonderful man, a wonderful family, and a wonderful sister, all of which are assets to our community. I can assure everyone that “Charlotte” is not in my family, as everyone in my family, is acutely aware of my esteem and admiration for all of John’s family, especially his sister, Anne.
I am truly sorry Q-Anne, for anyone with so little consideration for you, as to use this forum in this manner.
Sincerely,
Charles H.

Are there any pictures of the interior of the home? I fabricated the kitchen range hood and I would be intrested in seeing it in situ.
Sounds like a bunch of rich, skulking fat and spoiled morons pissed off about bad pie….personally, I perfer pizzahut.
I saw this house on another site and when changing views realized the extensive underground garage. This house was built to be unobtrusive, despite its size. I originally estimated the house at 12-15,000 sq/ft, but when I saw the garage entrance coming out of the lawn, I knew it was much bigger.
His pizza is one of the best that I have ever had. The crust is incredible and the ingredients are of a consistent high quality. The guy with the territory of Ontario, Canada, was, I was told a former Papa John’s delivery guy. This is a company that breeds success. There are about 3,500 stores in several countries. If JS makes $50. a day from each franchise think how much his income is.
I met John Shnatter on New Years Eve in Park City Utah. He is a cool dude. Very down to earth for a millionaire.
