“These clients were very nice to work with,” Renee Miller, the broker who handled the sale, said in the release. “They originally wanted to buy 50+ acres of land to build a private estate with 3–4 homes on it for their family, so we were looking at large tracts of land and large homes on land.”

“They currently live in Charlotte and want a vacation home in the mountains of Western North Carolina to escape to. This house is perfect for that and for entertaining.”

While the luxury market appears to be sizzling, other more “average” homes in North Carolina have also been getting their fair share of peering eyes. Recently, a house listed in the Outer Banks gained national attention after its listing agent called it “uglier than your 3rd divorce,” McClatchy News reported. Another one for sale in the Charlotte area caught the eye of the popular social media page Zillow Gone Wild thanks to its “Blue’s Clues”-like interior.
