It’s tough to call a million dollar home a bargain but when you pay $1.4 million for more than 14,000 square feet of finished space that’s what you do call it. Did I mention the 11 acres of property? No? Ok, that’s included as well.

This estate home in desirable Cherokee Gardens sold in just two days! The sales price was $1.5 million which didn’t seem to stop at least one buyer.
#6: 5607 Harrods Glen Drive
Some of the most expensive homes being built today are being built in Harrod’s Glen where each one is a gem. But they do come with a high price tag. This two-year-old home exchanged hands in 2016 for $1.525 million.

Built in 1925, but expanded with great care to the home’s character, this stately masterpiece has all the charm you could ask for. Sadly, if you wanted to buy it, you’d need $1.8 million to make that happen.

In a big surprise, our number one most expensive Louisville home’s greatest asset is not the house itself but the 170 acres that came with it. This Oldham County property sold for $2,150,000 in May and you have to guess that it will be the site of residential development in the near future.
