Headline Homes: November 2024

A Leiper’s Fork home and its surrounding land became the most high-dollar residential real estate transaction this year with a $42.5 million sale.

Fitness and health influencer Rebecca Stanton and husband Jared picked up the second most expensive home on the list this month, a rare custom build in the tony and established Governors Club residential enclave.

Aspen Homes constructed the residence, as well as the No. 3 abode on the list, which comes with five acres. Sadly, that home lacks an infinity pool like that on the property the Stantons now own.

At No. 4 on the list is a small residence with robust acreage. While $4.6 million might seem a steep price for a 3,000-square-foot home, the site includes more than 28 acres of prime Franklin raw land on which to build. It is unclear just how many multimillion-dollar homes can fit on that much property.

Just one entry down on the list is a Green Hills abode located on Trimble Road. Brian Heinrichs, who serves as president and chief executive officer of Fourth Capital Bank, and his wife, Joy, sold that property to physician Jonathan Cornelius. The lot is sizable for the neighborhood, offering more than an acre with a massive 6,100-square-foot home to match.

On the lower half of the list, Brett Pharr, the chief executive officer of Pathward Financial Inc. and his wife, Nancy, purchased a 25-year-old home on three acres on Tyne Boulevard. The home — featuring a three-car garage with a circular pull-through driveway, a Florida room and a pool — are located just minutes from Green Hills.

Home No. 9 was sold in Williamson County’s sought-after Westhaven neighborhood, though it appears the previous owners also filed for divorce last month. Some sage may be in order to cleanse the negative energy permeating all 7,312 square feet of the home.

As pricey homes with major square footage go, November was below average, not withstanding the number one slot. The month saw several homes that sold for less than $4 million make the cut. In contrast, all 10 sales on the October Headline Homes list were for $4 million or more.

More than half the homes on the November list are located in affluent Williamson County. And, of course, trusts were used for many of the transactions, thus shrouding the identities of the individuals who enjoy living in luxury while maintaining anonymity. Across the spectrum of homes, November’s sales also reflect estate-style buildings with custom pools, expansive layouts and high ceilings. Only the best for important folks.
