Looking for a six-bedroom, 11-bathroom place where you can lay your head?

If so, businessman Shane Guidry is selling his massive spread in Old Metairie.

All you need is $16.9 million, or an estimated $56,617 per month over 30 years if you put 20% down, according to Zillow.

“It’s the finest property in the city,” said Shaun McCarthy, the lead agent. He said he’ll be calling wealthy folks and real estate agents throughout the country and abroad to drum up a buyer.

Guidry bought the lot on Northline Street for $1.2 million in 2011 and then spared no expense in taking three years and spending $15 million to build the 15,230-foot mansion. He moved in in 2014.

“It has the rarest floor,” said Guidry, who is not known for understatement, “the rarest countertop, the thickest slate roof.”

The marble floor came from a quarry in Italy that Guidry said he actually bought, to ensure it didn’t run out of the stone.

The three-story house also has an elevator, a gym, an indoor movie theater, antique fixtures from Paris, a wine room, three living rooms, a three-car garage and, of course, a swimming pool.

The mahogany front door is so large that even Zion Williamson could pass through it -- with another Pelicans player on his shoulder.
