The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Charleston metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, came to a combined $27.175 million, and each one came from a different community: Sullivans Island, Charleston’s Harleston Village, Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms, Johns Island and Folly Beach.
The group runs from island homes on tidal creeks and the beach to a city home with a pool house and gardens and a compound with open pasture and live oaks, all of them in Charleston County.
No. 1 — $10,000,000 · 405 Sea Breeze Ln, Sullivans Island, South Carolina
The week’s top sale was a waterfront home on Sullivans Island that sold for $10,000,000. Designed by Beau Clowney Architects and built by Daly & Sawyer in 2010, it sits on 0.40 acres with 150 feet of frontage on the marsh and a tidal creek. The property last sold for $2.5 million in 2007, before the current house was built.
Inside, framed living room windows look down the Intracoastal Waterway from the foyer. The kitchen has Sub-Zero refrigeration and a hidden butler’s pantry running its full length, with a second dishwasher, a beverage center and room for prep work. The primary suite is on the main level in a wing of its own, with separate vanities, a glass rain shower with two entrances and custom dressing rooms. The home has four bedrooms, four full and three half baths and 4,091 square feet of living area. It also has an elevator, two gas-log fireplaces, two home offices and a whole-house backup generator.
Travertine surrounds the in-ground pool, which leads to a covered living area with an outdoor kitchen and reclaimed wood ceilings. Guava and lemon trees grow on the property, and there is a separate garage for a golf cart. The private dock sits in a no-wake zone at the mouth of Cove Creek, where it meets the Intracoastal Waterway. It has a floating dock, a jet ski dock, a 13,000-pound boat lift, a cleaning station and storage for kayaks and paddleboards, as well as a covered pier head measuring 12 by 25 feet that the listing says is larger than current regulations would allow today.

No. 2 — $7,175,000 · 140 Queen St, Charleston, South Carolina
In Harleston Village, a home on a double lot of 9,583 square feet sold for $7,175,000. An architect built it in 1995 for the architect’s own family, making it the oldest of the week’s five homes, and the Preservation Society of Charleston gave it a Carolopolis Award in 1996. The property last sold for $1.8 million in 2022. A down-to-the-studs renovation came in 2023, and a 2024 addition brought a pool house and a new primary suite by architect Sebastian von Marschall.
Behind the stucco facade, antique furniture shares the rooms with contemporary statement lighting, abstract art, deeply saturated paint and bold wallpapers. The floor plan was reworked to bring the kitchen and dining spaces into a more direct connection. The dining room has panoramic mural wallpaper by Paul Montgomery, a Regina Andrews chandelier and an antiqued mirror inset in the ceiling, and its French doors open to a brick terrace. The kitchen, built around a marble island, opens to a den, and a butler’s pantry is fitted for china and glassware. A private office and a wet bar with a soda fountain are also on the main floor.
The guest rooms upstairs use layered color, including Thibaut “Yukio” wallpaper with Farrow & Ball paint. On the third floor, a bedroom has dormered ceilings, window seats and a bath built around a glass-enclosed shower. The primary suite sits above the addition, connected by a hyphen, and looks out over the gardens and pool. Its dressing room has illuminated cabinetry and a marble-topped island, and the primary bath has a black-tiled shower and two vanities. The home has four bedrooms and six bathrooms in 4,583 square feet.
The pool house draws on the work of Dorothy Draper, with Brunschwig & Fils “Les Touches” wallpaper, a marble checkerboard floor, a wet bar, a dishwasher and two powder rooms. Visitors come in through iron gates set between brick columns with gas lanterns, to a circular brick drive with a fountain and a koi pond. Three deeded off-street parking spaces are behind the property. The home has appeared on television, in Season 3, Episode 6 of “Where We Call Home,” and in two issues of Charleston Magazine.

No. 3 — $4,000,000 · 30 Morgan Place Dr, Isle Of Palms, South Carolina
Inside the gated Wild Dunes community on Isle of Palms, a home on a tidal creek sold for $4,000,000. Boating defines the property: a newly built double 40-foot deepwater dock with two boat slips gives direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, and the property also has a seawall.
The home was built in 2001 and extensively renovated in 2023. It has six bedrooms, the most among the week’s five sales, along with six bathrooms and 4,656 square feet of living area, on a cul-de-sac lot of 5,662 square feet. An elevator makes four stops. The kitchen has two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a 60-inch Wolf range, three sinks and a wine refrigerator, and the primary bathroom has heated floors. The attached three-car garage includes a rod room, and the property also has a workshop. Wild Dunes residents have close access to beaches, golf, tennis and pickleball. The property last sold for $1.5 million in 2003.

No. 4 — $3,300,000 · 799 Sonny Boy Ln, Johns Island, South Carolina
On Johns Island, an 18.29-acre compound with two residences sold for $3,300,000. It has the largest lot of the week’s five sales, and its main home, completed in 2017, is the newest. The land mixes open pasture, mature live oaks, wooded buffers and established gardens, and the property sits at the end of a private drive under oaks. There is no homeowners association, and the property is convenient to Charleston, Kiawah and Seabrook.
Gensburg Toniolo Harting Architects designed the main residence, which is about 4,302 square feet on its own. Its materials include European white oak floors, historic mantels, copper detailing, gas lanterns and a metal roof. The kitchen, dining area and living room flow into a glass-enclosed sunroom, and a separate vaulted retreat adds another place to gather. The main residence has three bedroom suites, among them a secluded primary wing with a spa-style bath, a custom walk-in closet and a secured collection room. Finished space above the attached three-car garage is set up as two offices with a full bath.
A short distance from the main residence is Captain’s Quarters, a Lowcountry-style cottage of about 1,357 square feet completed in 2014. It has two en suite bedrooms, a loft, a wraparound porch and antique heart pine floors. Across both buildings, the compound has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 5,659 square feet of living area, the most of the week’s five homes.

The property last sold for $310,000 in 2003, before the current house was built. The home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 3,954 square feet of living area, and an elevator reaches every floor. The primary suite has its own sitting room and wet bar and opens directly to the screened porch. Beamed ceilings and an eat-in kitchen complete the main living spaces.
