These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Durham-Chapel Hill metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, and together they came to $9.37 million. Two of the homes have Chapel Hill addresses, two are in Durham and one is in Pittsboro.
The group runs from established neighborhoods to brand-new construction: two of the five homes were built in 2026, and the oldest dates only to 2004. Every one is a single-family home, and they range from a third of an acre in town to more than 10 acres of pasture.
No. 1 — $2,182,228 · 300 Lake Manor Rd, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The week’s top sale is a lakefront home in Lake Hogan Farms, a Chapel Hill neighborhood of about 350 acres, 100 of them common area. The home stands on 2.39 sloping, landscaped acres on a cul-de-sac, with views of the water and the woods. Built in 2004, it is the oldest home in this group, and its exterior combines stone, shake siding and fiber cement in a style that draws on Craftsman and traditional design.
The home has 6,109 square feet on three stories, with six bedrooms, the most of the five, along with five full baths and a half bath. One bedroom is on the main floor with a full bath of its own, and the finished third floor has another. An elevator serves the home, and there is a furnished theater room, two laundry rooms and three fireplaces. The kitchen and the primary bath have both been updated, and coffered ceilings, crown molding and built-in bookcases appear in the finish work. Outside are porches and a deck.
Residents share a community pool and clubhouse through the homeowners association, along with tennis and basketball courts and miles of walking trails. The property last sold for $1.37 million in 2013.

In the Forest Hills neighborhood of Durham, a modern farmhouse completed this year sold on a 0.37-acre corner lot on a cul-de-sac, the smallest lot of the five. The listing puts the home about seven minutes from downtown Durham, and Forest Hills Park, with its tennis courts and trails, is close by.

No. 5 — $1,615,000 · 708 Meadowmont Ln, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The Meadowmont home at 708 Meadowmont Lane is built on three levels connected by an elevator, an arrangement that lets the lower floor work almost as a home of its own. Guests arrive at that lower level, which has a full kitchen, a living area, a full bath, an office and bedrooms, making it suited to extended family, visiting guests or work from home. The address is Chapel Hill, but the home is in Durham County.
A staircase or the elevator leads up to the main living floor, where coffered ceilings and long runs of windows set the tone, and custom woodwork and millwork carry through the home. The top level has more bedrooms and sitting areas, with a walk-in attic wrapping around the finished space for storage. Built in 2008, the home has 4,850 square feet, five bedrooms, five full baths and a half bath on a 0.42-acre lot, with a deck and a balcony.
