The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Charlotte metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, totaled $23.35 million. Four of the five were in Mecklenburg County, three of them in Charlotte and one in Cornelius, and one was in Iredell County, where a Mooresville estate led the list.
Four of the sales were single-family homes and one was a condominium. Two of the homes are on the golf course at Ballantyne Country Club, and one, in Lansdowne, was the only new construction in the group.
No. 1 — $9,200,000 · 440 Beech Tree Rd, Mooresville, North Carolina
The top sale of the week was a gated estate of 33.60 acres in Mooresville, with wooded privacy, manicured grounds and direct frontage on Lake Norman. The property has its own dock and a private beach, and the record notes water views in every season.
Architect Harry Schrader designed the home and Arcadia Homes built it in 2015. It is a two-story home of brick, block and stone with 8,774 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, six full and two half. Inside, the plan is open, with a see-through gas fireplace, a kitchen island and a walk-in pantry, and a finished basement adds more room below.
Much of the life of the place is outdoors. There is a heated saltwater pool with a turf surround and a detached pool house, and the grounds also include an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill, a fire pit, a patio and porches at the front and rear. The property also has garage space for four cars.
Josh Tucker and Joseph Adams of Corcoran HM Properties were the listing agents for the $9,200,000 sale, the highest-priced of the week. Lisa Muesing of Ivester Jackson Christie’s represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $4,500,000 · 19329 Watermark Dr Unit 261/262, Cornelius, North Carolina
The second-highest sale was a double penthouse at Watermark in Cornelius that takes up the entire sixth floor of one of the community’s buildings. An elevator opens directly into the residence, a condominium built in 2021 in a modern, transitional style with 6,328 square feet, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, five full and two half.
The living room centers on a two-sided gas fireplace and opens both to the kitchen and to a covered terrace 41 feet long, where oversized stacking sliders, remote-controlled sunshades and an outdoor cooking area with a wet bar extend the living space outside. The kitchen has two islands, a 60-inch Wolf gas range and a separate scullery that doubles as a walk-in pantry. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area look over the pool.
The primary suite covers nearly 1,000 square feet and has its own sitting area and morning kitchen, along with a bath with a steam shower and a stone soaking tub. Each of the other four bedrooms has its own bath. There is also a private office with a balcony and a media room decorated on a lunar theme, complete with a popcorn maker and its own powder room. Two deeded two-car garages, one with an electric-vehicle charger, come with the unit, along with two deeded storage units.
Watermark is a gated community with a resort-size pool and spa, a clubhouse, a fitness center, a putting green and a pickleball court. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance, as is Holiday Marina, where boat slips can be leased.

No. 3 — $3,310,000 · 11717 Smart Ln, Charlotte, North Carolina
Set on the golf course at Ballantyne Country Club in Charlotte, this home looks out over the club’s 13th hole, along with a pond crossed by a wooden bridge. Christopher Phelps designed it and Simonini Builders built it in 2003, which makes it the oldest home in this week’s group. It sits behind a gate on a 0.55-acre lot, with gas lanterns and a paver drive.
The transitional home has stucco and stone walls outside and 9,010 square feet inside, with seven bedrooms, the most of any home this week, and eight bathrooms, seven full and one half. Walls of tall windows, curved walls and a sweeping custom staircase shape the main rooms. The kitchen was updated in 2023 with Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and the dining room has a custom coffered ceiling. On the main floor, the primary bedroom and a guest suite sit on opposite sides of the home, and a study with tall windows is next to the primary bedroom.
The finished lower level, with ceilings of more than 11 feet and walk-out access, is built for entertaining, with a bar, a wine cellar, a theater room, a home gym and another guest suite. Outside, a 48-foot pool added in 2019 is surrounded by landscaping, and the property has a motor court and garage space for three cars. The property last sold for $1.265 million in 2016.

Along the 11th fairway at Ballantyne Country Club, this French Provincial home is reached by a tree-lined paver drive.

It sits on 0.46 acres and has garage space for four cars.
A two-story foyer with a curved staircase opens the home. Off the entry is an office with a vaulted, wood-accented ceiling and a fireplace, and the dining room, with a coffered ceiling, leads to a butler’s pantry. The kitchen has an oversized island and a six-burner Wolf gas range, and the adjoining breakfast area and keeping room sit under a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling with views across the fairway. The great room opens onto a terrace that runs across the back of the main level. The primary suite is also on the main level, and an elevator serves all three levels of the home.
The walk-out lower level has a wine room behind iron doors, a family room with a stone fireplace and a full second kitchen, and a billiards and game area. Below the terrace, the grounds include a saltwater pool and spa with a cascading water feature, a pair of fire bowls, an outdoor fireplace, a flagstone patio and an outdoor kitchen.
