Four local homes sold for $6M-plus in July

Led by a record-breaking residential sale on Lake Norman, four homes in Mecklenburg County eclipsed the $6 million mark when they sold in July.

The Cornelius estate that set the record sold for $11.5 million — the highest sale price ever in Canopy MLS for any home in the Charlotte region. That home on Belle Isle Drive in The Peninsula area spans 7,209 square feet and includes five bedrooms, with five full and three half bathrooms.

Its 1.44-acre lakefront lot includes a private beach, pier, boat lift, infinity pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and separate guest casita.
