A custom home on a corner acreage in Athens, two homes in a gated Gurley community and a pair of newly built homes in Toney and Madison made up the week's top sales.

Huntsville-Madison-Decatur Area, Alabama Top 5 Home Sales: Custom Athens Home Leads at $1.2 Million

These were the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Huntsville-Madison-Decatur Area, Alabama for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together they came to $5.01 million. All five were single-family homes, three in Madison County and two in Limestone County, and every one sold for more than $870,000.

Two of the sales came from the same gated community in Gurley, and two of the homes were new construction. In two of the five sales, the same agent was on both sides of the deal.

No. 1 — $1,215,000 · 20692 Jeremiah Ln, Athens, Alabama

Top home sale No. 1 in Huntsville-Madison-Decatur Area, Alabama β€” 20692 Jeremiah Ln, Athens, Alabama, week ending November 8, 2026

The top sale of the week was a custom home by the builder Winter Homes, set on a 1.34-acre corner lot in Cedar Ridge Estates in Athens. It sold for $1.215 million, and its lot was the largest of the five.

Double doors lead into a foyer finished in black paneling, and beyond it the living room rises to a vaulted ceiling, with a shiplap-clad fireplace flanked by built-ins. Custom woodwork appears throughout the home, which also has a built-in home automation system. In the kitchen, quartz surfaces sit alongside a 48-inch range and a five-foot split refrigerator and freezer, and what looks like a wall of cabinets swings open to reveal a concealed butler’s pantry.

The home has four bedrooms, all on the main level, along with four full baths and a half bath across 3,659 square feet. The primary suite has a 19-by-10-foot closet and a vaulted wet room in which the tub sits inside the shower. A hidden safe room is on the main level, while upstairs there is a bonus room with its own bath and floored storage. Behind the home, an outdoor kitchen and dining area join an outdoor living room with a fireplace, all looking over a 40-by-16-foot saltwater pool with a tanning ledge.

Built in 2024, the property last sold for $1.127 million that same year.

The home went under contract the day it was listed. Tiffany P Pack of Dream Key was the listing agent and also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.
