This is literally the most expensive house for sale in North Carolina. In fact, calling it a house is a bit of an understatement. Instead, it’s closer to a compound or an estate. Perhaps the best part of this property is the location. It is based in Linville and is literally a house on the hill (or Grandfather Mountain).

This allows for incredible privacy, as well as access to nature and some stunning views of the valley below. One of the nearby rocks even has a natural waterfall running down it, while the entire property is gated off for security.

As you may expect, this property is not cheap and is listed on Zillow for $26,750,000. Ironcally, it also comes with a monthly $367 HOA fee which seems like pennies in comparison. It includes 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and 10,065 sqft of space. In total, it has 5.86 acres to play with, and most of this is situated on top of the hill.

It is also includes a separate Hobbit-themed guest house with gym, golf simulator, wet bar, firepit, and sauna. The insides of the main house are equally as impressive and this shows a great display of architecture. This uses a combination of wooden floors, stone walls, and large windows to give it a cozy cottage feel, albeit it’s still a huge house that is packed with luxury features. A truly unique home, this is justified by its steep price tag.
