The most expensive residential sale for the week of Jan. 26 was $1.6 million for an acreage north of Sioux Falls.

The property was purchased by the Sioux Falls Development Foundation and eventually will become part of the 200-acre site for the new Smithfield Foods plant. The 2,800-square-foot house was built in 1997 on 2 acres west of the Renner exit on Interstate 29. The ranch walkout has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. There’s also a 4,000-square-foot pole building on the property.

A second home purchased by the Development Foundation also made the top 10 list.
