The highest-priced home sales reported in Charlotte Area, North Carolina for the week ending November 8, 2026, came to a combined $15.1 million. Four of the five were in Charlotte, in some of the city’s established neighborhoods, and the fifth was in Bessemer City in Gaston County. The list runs from a home finished this year to one built more than a century ago, and COMPASS agents listed three of the five.
No. 1 — $4,500,000 · 605 Recore Ridge Rd, Bessemer City, North Carolina
The top sale of the week was a property measured in acres rather than fractions of one. The home at 605 Recore Ridge Road in Bessemer City sold for $4,500,000 and sits on 108.73 acres, the largest lot and, at 6,412 square feet, the largest home in this Top 5. It was built in 2012 on the top of Pasour Mountain, reached by more than a mile of paved private drive with gated entrances from main roads at either end of the property.
From that height the views take in both the Charlotte skyline and the Blue Ridge Mountains, year-round. The exterior combines stone, wood and fiber cement. Inside, the main level has the primary suite and a kitchen equipped with Bosch, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, along with a great room with a fireplace. Guest suites are on the upper level. The finished lower level has walk-out access and includes a guest retreat, a fitness room and a sauna.
Much of the life of the place happens outdoors. The heated saltwater pool has a spa, and a pool house has its own full kitchen and bath. There is also an outdoor kitchen, a covered pavilion built as an overlook, a fire pit, a pond and a barn. The home was planned to run on its own when it has to, with solar panels serving the heat and water systems, heated floors and a whole-house generator. The record shows eight garage spaces, and the property includes an auto shop and a workshop garage. A recreation and living space with a Murphy bed sits on the garage’s upper level.
The home has four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, six full and one half. Ben Bowen of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent, and Ally Bohanan of Northstar Real Estate, LLC represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $3,290,000 · 1321 Ferncliff Rd, Charlotte, North Carolina
The newest home on the list is also the one with the most bedrooms. Completed in 2026, the contemporary European-style home at 1321 Ferncliff Road in Cotswold sold for $3,290,000. Architect Robert Foster designed it and Westwood Custom Homes built it, in brick and fiber cement on a level 0.41-acre lot with a circular driveway. The property last sold for $1.1 million in 2024, before the current home was built.
A two-story foyer with a herringbone inlay in its hardwood floor opens the home. The kitchen has custom inlaid cabinetry and a 46-inch Wolf range, and behind it is a scullery with wine and beverage refrigerators and a second dishwasher. In the great room, a wood-burning Isokern fireplace faces a retractable glass wall. When it slides open, the room continues onto a covered outdoor living area with its own gas fireplace, built-in heaters and a gas grill, and beyond it a saltwater pool with an integrated spa.
There are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, six full and one half, across 5,107 square feet. The primary suite is on the main level, with a vaulted ceiling, a soaking tub and a zero-entry shower, and its walk-in closet includes a washer and dryer. A main-level office with a bath beside it can serve as a guest suite. Upstairs are three bedrooms with their own baths and a living area with a dry bar and a half bath. A private suite of nearly 400 square feet sits above the detached two-car garage.
Ken Riel of COMPASS was the listing agent, one of three COMPASS listings in this Top 5. Jocelyn Rose of Corcoran HM Properties represented the buyer.

The wood-sided home has a covered wraparound porch and ceilings of 11 feet. A wide foyer and broad hallways lead to a notable staircase. The main level keeps its formal living and dining rooms and adds a study, a sunroom and an updated kitchen that opens to the great room. Glass doors step out to a covered porch above a private backyard with mature plantings and a saltwater pool.
The primary suite is on the main level, with two walk-in closets and a bath that has a soaking tub, a frameless glass shower and heated floors. In all, the home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, four full and two half, in 6,175 square feet on a 0.52-acre lot. Upstairs are two more living areas, among them a sunny flex room, and the partially finished basement has a bonus room, an exercise room and a wine cellar.

No. 4 — $2,250,000 · 2135 Sharon Ave, Charlotte, North Carolina
The home at 2135 Sharon Avenue in Old Foxcroft sold for $2,250,000. Built in 2004 in a traditional style, it has since been renovated, with new hardwood floors and a rebuilt kitchen at its center. That kitchen has Monogram appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz counters and a walk-in pantry, and it opens to a breakfast room with a built-in banquette and to the great room and its fireplace. A second family room off the kitchen has brick floors and a fireplace of its own.
The primary suite is on the main level and includes a sitting room that can work as an office, a large walk-in closet and a bath with heated floors. Each of the bedroom suites upstairs has a walk-in closet, and the second floor also has two large bonus rooms. The home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, five full and two half, in 5,383 square feet. Out back, a covered rear lanai with a fireplace looks over a fenced yard. The level 0.45-acre lot has a circular driveway, a two-car garage that faces the side and an attached carport.
The location puts the home minutes from SouthPark, with Park Road Shopping Center and the trails of Freedom Park also close at hand. The property last sold for $1.38 million in 2020.
