We looked back at the property transfer reports for 2021 to find the most expensive residential real estate sales for the year.
Fifty-three houses sold for $1 million or more in Minnehaha and Lincoln counties. In 2020, there were 28 properties that met the mark. There were 20 houses that surpassed the million-dollar mark in 2019 and 12 in 2018.
The most expensive residential property sold last year is an acreage south of Spring Creek Golf Course that went for $2.8 million. The home was built in 2002 and has 6,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. It sits on 6 acres and has two outbuildings.
The No. 2 home actually appears on the list twice. In July, the property known as “Bellosquardo” at 217 N. Fairway Circle in Brandon sold for $1,540,000. Then, in the final week of the year, it sold for $2,275,000.
It was built in 2001 and sits on 6 acres overlooking Split Rock Creek and Brandon’s two golf courses. With more than 10,000 square feet, the house has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a six-stall garage. Features include a bar, library, theater room and indoor pool.
When it went on the market in October, the online real estate listing described it as having a “recently updated interior with incredible attention to detail honoring the existing architectural integrity.”
