$2M Lake Wylie homes, Fort Mill businesses top Rock Hill region’s latest big sales
A pair of $2 million homes, restaurants and revitalized business parks rank among the most expensive property sales in the Rock Hill region last month.
July saw 16 homes in the region sell for $1 million or more. More than a dozen non-home sales include the Lucky Duck spot in Baxter and former Wells Fargo buildings in Fort Mill. Those sales also add sites for more homes to be built.
Here are details on all the $1 million or more sales from July, according to land records from York, Lancaster and Chester counties:
▪ Fort Mill, Indian Land, Lake Wylie, Tega Cay, Rock Hill and Lancaster all had homes sell for seven figures. A nearly $2.8 million sale in Lake Wylie is the second highest this year in the three-county region. It’s on Sunrise Point in the River Hills subdivision.
▪ Another home, in Fort Mill’s Springfield subdivision off S.C. 160, also sold for more than $2 million. It’s the fifth most expensive home sale in the region this year, among seven total to hit at least $2 million.
