Built in 2020, it sits on 5.38 acres and sold for $2,500,000. With 6,453 square feet of living space, it is the largest home in this Top 5. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, four full and one half, along with a three-car garage that has two electric vehicle chargers and custom six-panel glass doors.

The primary suite is on the main floor, with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and a direct connection to a private office.

That finished lower level has a walk-out and polished concrete floors. It includes two large gathering areas and a 780-square-foot space set up as a gym or bonus room. Outside, the rear grounds have an in-ground pool and spa and a large covered living area with a fireplace, a built-in grill, a vent hood and a sink. The rear yard is fenced and has a dog run.

The community is built around 36 holes of golf. It also has Har-Tru tennis courts and pickleball, and its pool and fitness center look out over Lake Watson. Residents have access to a boat dock with assigned slips.

Upstairs, a Carolina Room sits between two porches, one screened and one open, both looking out over the pastures. The property last sold for $480,000 in 2016.
