Spring Valley Township’s housing market has typically traded in the mid-$500,000s, so a 33-acre property closing above $1.3 million stands out. The sale of 1065 Spring Valley Paintersville Road is the highest the township has recorded in the past 12 months.
A $1,332,042 Sale Sets the High-Water Mark
Most home sales in Spring Valley Township fit a familiar pattern: a four-bedroom house on a conventional lot, priced somewhere around the mid-$500,000s. The sale of 1065 Spring Valley Paintersville Road does not fit that pattern, and it did not try to. The property closed on October 30, 2026 for $1,332,042, the highest sale price recorded in the township over the past 12 months and the top result among the 11 sales that closed in that stretch.
The home is a four-bedroom, four-bath residence built in 1979, set on 33 acres behind a canopy of mature trees. It comes with a detached garage of roughly 6,000 square feet, a building large enough to change what a buyer can do with the property. It was listed at $1,490,000 and sold after 70 days on the market, closing at $1,332,042, which is about 10.6 percent under the original asking price.
That gap between list and sale is how a record gets set at the top of a market. Houses in this price range have a small pool of buyers, and the number that clears is the number a buyer and seller agree on. Here that number was $1,332,042, which is now the figure every future listing in the township will be measured against. It is also 138 percent above the township’s 12-month median sale price of $560,000.

33 Private Acres Behind a Canopy of Trees
The first thing the listing emphasizes is the setting. The house sits back from the road behind mature trees on 33 private acres, and the property is described as one built to blend into the landscape rather than dominate it. County parcel data lists the property under Military Survey 1295, a reminder that land in this part of Ohio is divided by old survey lines rather than platted subdivisions with uniform lot sizes.
Thirty-three acres is a different category of property from the typical lot in the township’s recent sales. The listing points to the kinds of use that kind of land invites: trail riding, exploring, or simply the luxury of having room to breathe. It describes the location as minutes from modern conveniences while feeling far removed from the pace of daily life. That pairing of privacy and access is what the listing is selling, and what the final price reflects.

The home itself is described in the language of a handcrafted lodge. The listing calls out rich wood finishes, soaring ceilings and expansive windows that frame views through the seasons, and says nearly every space is designed to take advantage of its natural surroundings. Built in 1979, the house carries the warmth that era’s wood-heavy custom construction is known for, while the listing notes that the scale and functionality are those of a custom-built home.
For a buyer shopping at this price, that combination matters. Land of this size is not something a builder can add later, and the sense of seclusion cannot be replicated on a typical suburban parcel. The sale price suggests the buyer valued exactly that.
Four Bedrooms, Four Baths, and Room for Guests
Inside, the house offers four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, a ratio that is generous even for a large home. Having a full bath for each bedroom is a convenience that most four-bedroom houses in the township’s recent sales do not offer, and it makes the layout easy to live in day to day and easy to host in.
The listing singles out one private suite as especially flexible, well suited to long-term guests who need their own space. Having that kind of separation inside a single house gives the owner options that a conventional floor plan does not. It can serve as a guest wing, a quiet retreat, or simply a second living area with its own privacy.

Three of the four full baths have been newly renovated, according to the listing, which describes the updates as keeping timeless finishes while adding modern comfort. That detail carries weight in a 1979 home. Bathrooms are among the first rooms a buyer scrutinizes in an older house, and having three of four already refreshed removes a large block of near-term work from the buyer’s to-do list.
The soaring ceilings and large windows described in the listing give the interior a sense of scale. Wood finishes run through the rich, lodge-like palette the listing emphasizes. Together, these features are what separate this home from the many four-bedroom houses that trade in the township at a fraction of the price: it is the character and the space, not just the bed and bath count, that moved this one into seven figures.
The 6,000-Square-Foot Garage Changes the Math
If the acreage is what sets this property apart from nearby sales, the garage is what makes it nearly unique. The listing describes an approximately 6,000-plus-square-foot detached garage, and it frames the building as far more than a place to park. In the listing’s words, it is a destination, built for collectors, craftsmen, entrepreneurs or automotive enthusiasts.
To put that size in perspective, the house in the most comparable recent sale in the township, on S Creek Circle, measures 4,549 square feet in total. This garage alone is larger than most entire houses that have traded nearby. For the right buyer, that kind of space can serve as a car collection, a woodworking or fabrication shop, a business headquarters, or storage for equipment that would never fit on a conventional lot.

This is the type of feature that buyers spend years searching for, according to the listing, and almost never find. That scarcity helps explain the price. When a property offers something a buyer cannot easily get elsewhere, the usual per-square-foot comparisons stop applying, and the sale price reflects the value of the whole package: the house, the land, and the building.
Combined with 33 acres, the garage turns the property from a large residence into a working estate. A buyer can live in the house, run an operation from the outbuilding, and still have acreage left over. That versatility is rare in a township where the typical sale is a four-bedroom house on a smaller parcel.
How $1,332,042 Compares With the Township Numbers
Over the past 12 months, Spring Valley Township recorded 11 home sales. The median sale price across those sales was $560,000, the median price per square foot was $192, and the typical home sold in about 22 days. Against that backdrop, the sale at 1065 Spring Valley Paintersville Road ranks first out of 11, and its $1,332,042 price sits 138 percent above the median, a difference of about $772,000.
The sale also took longer than the typical township sale, closing after 70 days on the market compared with the 22-day median. That is consistent with how properties at the top of a market behave. A $1.49 million listing is not competing for the same buyers as a $500,000 house, and finding the right match takes longer. The buyer who stepped forward committed to a price more than double the township’s typical sale.

The original list price of $1,490,000 was set high, and the final price of $1,332,042 reflects the market’s response. A closing at roughly 89 percent of list on a property this unusual still produced the township’s top sale of the past year, one that is about $537,000 above the next-closest comparable on the recent sales list. In a market where most sales land near the middle of a narrow band, a result of this size widens the range for everyone who lists after it.
The Closest Comparable Sales
Recent nearby sales show how far this property sits from the township’s usual range. The most comparable large-home sale is S Creek Circle, a four-bedroom house with 4,549 square feet that sold for $795,000 on September 30, 2026. That is the nearest the recent sales list comes to this price tier, and the Spring Valley Paintersville Road sale closed about 1.7 times higher.
Closer to the township’s median are two sales from this month. A four-bedroom home on Sugar Hill Lane with 2,724 square feet sold for $560,000 on October 19, 2026, right at the 12-month median. Three days earlier, a four-bedroom on Sears Road with 2,598 square feet closed at $545,000 on October 16, 2026. Those two sales show where a conventional four-bedroom house in the township is trading right now.
Earlier in the year, a four-bedroom on Clear Springs Road with 2,818 square feet sold for $505,000 on July 10, 2026, and a three-bedroom on McClellan Road with 1,916 square feet sold for $525,000 on May 20, 2026. Together, the five nearby sales run from $505,000 to $795,000, a range that the Spring Valley Paintersville Road sale clears by more than half a million dollars.
What those comparables cannot match is the combination of acreage, outbuilding and renovation work that this property offered. A buyer comparing it to the Sugar Hill Lane house would be looking at a different kind of purchase altogether.
What the Result Means for Spring Valley Township
A single sale does not reset a township’s median, and this one will not. The median price in Spring Valley Township is still $560,000, and most of the homes that trade here will keep closing in that neighborhood. What a sale like this does is define the top of the range. Appraisers, lenders and sellers of large-acreage properties now have a closed sale at $1,332,042 to point to when they evaluate land, outbuildings and custom homes in the area.
It also shows that buyers are willing to commit seven-figure budgets to properties in the township when the combination is right. The sale involved a home with lodge-style character, recent bathroom renovations, a private suite, and a very large garage on 33 acres. Each of those features can be found separately on other properties. Finding them together on one parcel is what made this sale possible.
For owners of larger parcels elsewhere in Spring Valley Township, the result offers a useful data point. It does not guarantee similar outcomes, because each property is different, but it confirms that the market can support prices far above the median when a property offers something distinctive. The 70 days it took to find the buyer is also a useful lesson: at this level, patience and the right match matter more than speed.
The township’s recent sales show steady activity in the $500,000 range, with a handful of larger homes pushing higher. This sale adds a new ceiling above all of them. It is the kind of result that gives the township’s top-end market a clear reference point, and it ends the 12-month stretch with a high-water mark that no other sale in the township has reached.
Recognizing the Professionals Behind the Outcome
Listing agent Kiley Johnson of Coldwell Banker Heritage brought the home to market, and Jill Aldineh of RE/MAX Victory + Affiliates represented the buyer. Results like this come from careful pricing, strong presentation and steady work through closing, and both sides of the deal deserve recognition.
