Across Lebanon, the typical home sold for $370,000 over the past year, which makes the top of the market worth watching. At 2679 Lebanon Road, a one-owner, five-acre custom home with a pool and a pond closed at $915,000, one of the ten highest sales in the area.
A Five-Acre Sale at the Top of the Lebanon Market
The sale of 2679 Lebanon Road closed on November 2, 2026 at $915,000, placing a five-acre custom home on a private drive among the ten highest-priced sales in Lebanon over the past 12 months. Of the 224 homes that changed hands in the area during that stretch, only eight sold for more.
The house was listed at $985,000 and spent 105 days on the market before it closed. It has four bedrooms, two full baths and 4,127 square feet, was built in 1990, and comes with a heated saltwater pool, a fenced pond, and two garages that together hold five vehicles. The sale works out to $222 per square foot.
A home like this is a different product from the typical Lebanon sale. The area’s median sale price over the past 12 months was $370,000, so this closing landed roughly two and a half times above it, or 147% above the median to use the market’s own measure. The gap is explained less by any single feature than by the combination: acreage, privacy, custom construction, and a long list of finished spaces both inside the house and across the grounds.
Sales at this level give agents, appraisers and future sellers a data point at the upper end of the Lebanon market. This one is a solid reference, and the details of the house show why.
What Sits at the End of the Private Drive
The listing describes a custom-built, one-owner home tucked away on a private drive, and the floor plan starts with warmth rather than flash. The main level has hardwood floors and natural woodwork, with a layout the listing calls inviting. It reads as a house designed around a single household’s habits rather than assembled from a catalog.
The kitchen is the anchor of the main level. It is an eat-in space with wood cabinetry and granite counters, and it carries two appliance names that serious home cooks recognize: a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf gas range. That pairing is a meaningful part of what a buyer is paying for at this price, because it is the kind of kitchen that is expensive to replicate and tends to hold its appeal for decades.
A first-floor study sits off the main living areas, which gives a buyer a dedicated place to work from home without giving up a bedroom. For households that split the week between an office and a spare room, a study on the main level is often the feature that decides between two otherwise similar houses.
The family room has a gas fireplace and walks out to a vaulted three-season room that is heated by a wood-burning stove. The listing calls it the go-to spot year-round, and the stove is the reason that claim holds up in a Miami Valley winter. Between the gas fireplace in the family room and the wood-burning stove next door, the main level has two separate sources of the kind of warmth buyers tend to remember after a showing.
Pool, Pond, and Porches on Five Acres
The lot is what separates this sale from nearly everything else in the Lebanon data. At five acres, the property sits on far more ground than the typical home in a platted subdivision, and the listing leans into that, describing peaceful acreage that surrounds the house on every side.
The outdoor features read like a second set of rooms. A heated saltwater pool is the centerpiece, and a stamped patio gives it a finished edge for lounging and entertaining. A covered front porch handles the quieter end of the day. A fenced pond adds water to the landscape while keeping it contained, a practical detail that buyers with pets or visiting children tend to notice.
Parking and storage are generous. The house has a two-car attached garage for everyday use, plus a three-car detached garage on the property. Five bays is a lot of covered space by any standard, and on a five-acre parcel it opens possibilities that a standard lot does not: a workshop, equipment storage, vehicles, hobby projects, or all of them at once.
This is what buyers at the upper end of the market are paying for when they choose acreage over a bigger house in town. The house and land work together, and a private drive means the setting is part of the product. Properties that combine all of these elements are uncommon in the sales record for Lebanon, which is part of why the price lands where it does.
An Upstairs Suite and a Finished Lower Level
Upstairs, the primary suite is vaulted and built to feel like a retreat. It has two oversized walk-in closets, a pairing that solves one of the most common complaints in older houses, and a spa-style bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, granite counters and tile floors. Three additional bedrooms complete the second floor, bringing the total to four bedrooms, with room for everyone in the household to have their own space.
The lower level is finished and adds a second living zone. It has a second family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar, and a flex area that the listing suggests could be a gym, a game room, or both. Add the first-floor study and the three-season room, and the house has at least four distinct places to gather or work apart from the bedrooms.
That range of space matters in how the price per square foot reads. At $222 per square foot, the sale sits above the Lebanon area median of $201, but not by a wide margin for a house with a pool, a pond, five acres and five garage bays. The house is large enough, at 4,127 square feet, that a price near a million dollars still works out to a per-foot figure within about 10 percent of what the typical Lebanon home sold for.
The home was built in 1990 and has had a single owner, according to the listing. Custom construction from that era often means sturdy framing, generous room sizes and detailed woodwork, qualities the listing highlights in the natural woodwork and hardwood floors on the main level.
How $915,000 Compares With the Lebanon Numbers
The headline figures put the sale in context. Over the past 12 months, 224 sales closed in Lebanon at a median of $370,000. This sale ranks ninth among them, which places it in roughly the top 4 percent of the market by price. The highest sale in the area during that period was $1,750,000, so the market does reach well above this level, and $915,000 sits in the upper tier rather than at the margin.
The price was set after a longer marketing period than usual. The median home in Lebanon spent 35 days on the market, while this one took 105 days from listing to close. That stands to reason: the pool of buyers for a five-acre, nearly million-dollar property is smaller than the pool for a $370,000 house, and sellers at this level usually wait for the right fit rather than the fastest offer.
The listing price was $985,000 and the closing price was $915,000, a difference of 7.1%. For a property in a segment where each sale is relatively rare, that is a negotiated result between a seller and a buyer who agreed on value, and it now stands as a documented sale in the upper band of the neighborhood.
Price per square foot adds a second view. The home closed at $222 against a neighborhood median of $201. In other words, a buyer paid a premium of about $21 per square foot over the median home, and received in return the acreage, the pool, the pond, and a three-car detached garage that median homes do not include.
The Closest Comparable Sales
Recent sales nearby show how different this property is from the housing that surrounds it. The five most recent nearby closings, all in the final weeks of October 2026, ran from $175,000 to $437,000. The strongest of them was Silversmith Way, a four-bedroom home of 2,159 square feet that sold for $437,000 on October 23, 2026. That works out to about $202 per square foot.
The next closest in size and bedroom count was Lake Front Drive, a four-bedroom home with 2,026 square feet that sold for $369,900 the same day, roughly $183 per square foot. A third comparison, Bugle Bluff Court, was a three-bedroom home of 2,439 square feet that sold for $362,000 on October 30, 2026, or about $148 per square foot.
Set beside those sales, 2679 Lebanon Road has nearly twice the living area of the Silversmith Way home, at 4,127 square feet versus 2,159, and sold for just over twice the price. The per-square-foot figure of $222 is higher than all three, which fits a property that adds five acres, a saltwater pool and a pond to the house itself.
These comparisons show the sale is not a stretch beyond what Lebanon buyers will pay for the house. It reflects a different class of property, one where land and amenities do much of the work. For anyone tracking the market, the recent nearby sales show a healthy middle at $360,000 to $440,000, and this closing shows the upper tier sitting comfortably above it.
What the Sale Means for Lebanon
A sale at $915,000 adds to the evidence that Lebanon’s housing market has a functioning upper tier. With 224 sales in 12 months, a median above $370,000 and a top sale of $1,750,000, the area is deep enough to support buyers across a wide price range, from the sub-$200,000 sales that appear in the recent nearby list to homes approaching a million dollars and beyond.
For owners of larger properties, a closing like this is a useful reference. It documents what a buyer paid for a custom home with acreage, outbuildings and recreational features, and it provides a number that agents can point to when they discuss pricing for similar homes. A sale ranked ninth among 224 is a data point that carries weight in that conversation.
For the broader market, it shows that high-end demand did not need a short marketing period to materialize. The home took 105 days and closed with a buyer willing to pay $915,000. That kind of patience and follow-through on both sides is how upper-end comparables get established in any community.
The house itself explains most of the result: a custom build, a first owner who kept it through 1990 to today, a Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchen, a heated saltwater pool, a fenced pond, a finished lower level with its own fireplace and wet bar, and five garage bays on five acres. Lebanon now has a well-documented sale that shows what that combination is worth.
Recognizing the Professionals Behind the Outcome
Listing agent Kevin E Hildebrand of eXp Realty brought the home to market, and John M Bissman of Keller Williams Advisors Realty 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.
