The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Augusta-Aiken metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, came to a combined $5.789 million. The list crossed the state line: three of the homes are in South Carolina and two are in Georgia, spread over Aiken, Columbia, McCormick and Burke counties.
Aiken accounted for two of the five, and together those sales came to $2,624,000. All five are single-family homes, ranging from a 1986 estate in Martinez to a home completed in 2024 in Hephzibah, and the fifth-ranked sale has the largest tract on the list, at 41.49 acres.

Kalista Manor South, as the property is known, was built for riders.

The barn is finished to a high standard, with a climate-controlled tack room, a half bath, a wash rack with hot and cold water, laundry hookups and a covered bay that can be put to other uses. The property backs to a private reserve with access to trails, and the wider community has miles of riding trails, its own dressage and jumping arenas, a cross-country course and a clubhouse.

Heart pine floors run through the rooms, the kitchen has an island, a snack bar and a pantry, and a gas fireplace warms the living space. Outside, the grounds are professionally landscaped, with lighting and irrigation, and there is an attached two-car garage. The property last sold for $788,000 in 2022.
The home sold for $1,399,000, its full asking price, and went under contract 25 days after it was listed. Lea McCullough of Keller Williams Realty Aiken Partners was the listing agent, and Willie Hartnett of Meybohm Real Estate – Aiken represented the buyer in the week’s highest-priced sale.
