The five highest-priced home sales reported in Central Connecticut for the week ending November 8, 2026, came to a combined $4.294 million. Cheshire accounted for three of them, with one each in Wallingford and Plantsville, and all five were single-family homes.
The group ranges from a Cape Cod built in 1957 to a Colonial finished in 2011, and from a lot of about half an acre to one of more than five acres. Four of the five are in New Haven County; the Plantsville sale is in Hartford County.
No. 1 — $960,000 · 595 Tamarack Road, Cheshire, Connecticut
The top sale of the week was a Colonial on 2.08 acres in Cheshire, and it went quickly. The home on Tamarack Road went under contract six days after it was listed and sold for $960,000, which was $115,000 above its asking price of $845,000.
Built in 1988, the clapboard home has been in the hands of its original owners since it was new. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms (two full and one half) and 3,149 square feet of living space, along with a fireplace and an attached three-car garage. The primary suite is generously sized, and the main floor has room for gathering, working and entertaining. Below it, the full basement includes about 1,220 square feet of partially finished space.
The land is level and includes wetlands, and the setting is a quiet, natural one. Even so, the property is close to Cheshire Center and Wallingford, as well as to parks and trails, nearby farms and orchards, and local shops and restaurants.

In Wallingford, a property set up for horses sold for $900,000. At 5.11 acres, 995 North Farms Road has the largest lot in this week’s Top 5, and most of what sets it apart is outside the home itself.

The grounds have room for turnout and riding, with space left over for expansion. The property also includes a private office and a large party room suited to clinics, events and celebrations.
The home is a 1963 Ranch with three bedrooms, two full baths and 1,134 square feet of living space, the smallest in the group, plus an attached two-car garage and a full basement that is partly finished.
