Across the Miami Valley, the strongest sales increasingly pair land with flexibility. At 6665 S OH-48, a home on nearly 19 acres with a guest house and two ponds closed at $730,000, the third-highest sale in Union Township in the past 12 months.
A $730,000 Close on Nearly 19 Acres
The home at 6665 S OH-48 in Union Township closed on October 29, 2026 for $730,000. It is a three-bedroom, two-bath house of 3,362 square feet on nearly 19 acres, with a separate one-bedroom guest house, two ponds, a barn and an oversized attached garage. That is a lot of property in a single transaction, and the price reflects it.
Over the past 12 months, Union Township has recorded 41 sales. This one ranks third of 41, behind two other sales, the highest of which reached $1,060,000. At $730,000, the sale price sits 109 percent above the township median of $349,000. In plain terms, the property closed at a little more than double what the typical Union Township home brings.
The home was listed at $795,000 and sold after 77 days on the market, closing at roughly 92 percent of the asking price. The township’s median home sells in 14 days, so a property with this much land and this many structures plainly works on a different clock than a typical house. It still found its buyer at a number that puts it near the top of the local market. The sale came in at $217 per square foot, against a township median of $187.
In a township where the typical sale falls well under $400,000, a $730,000 close shows that buyers will pay for acreage, outbuildings and a second dwelling when they come together on one parcel. It gives the area’s larger properties a fresh reference point, and it is the kind of result that deserves attention well beyond the property line.
A Three-Bedroom Home Rebuilt in 1999
County-style records date the home to 1975, but the listing describes something more substantial than a 1970s house. According to the remarks, the property was a longtime family homestead that was completely rebuilt in 1999. Measured from that rebuild, the main house was about 27 years old at the time of sale, which is a meaningful distinction for a buyer weighing age against condition.
The main house offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms across 3,362 square feet. Spread over three bedrooms, that works out to well over 1,000 square feet per bedroom, a ratio that tells you the rooms and common areas here are generous rather than tightly drawn. The listing leans on the word striking to describe the house and says it stands ready for what it calls the most discerning buyers, language that frames the property as a step up from a standard three-bedroom.
The attached garage is described as an oversized two-car space, which matters on a property with this much to maintain and this many vehicles and tools likely to move through it. Together with the separate barn, it gives the property indoor storage and work space in two different forms, one attached to the house and one standing on its own.
At $217 per square foot, the main house priced well above the $187 township median. That per-square-foot figure counts only the main house, however. It does not account for the guest house, the ponds or the acreage, all of which came with the same closing.
A One-Bedroom Guest House Adds 1,144 Square Feet
The feature that most separates this property from a typical large-lot home is the second dwelling. A one-bedroom, one-bath guest house of 1,144 square feet also sits on the property. The listing suggests it could serve as an in-law suite, a space for college students, or simply a guest house, and adds that the possibilities are endless.
To put that size in perspective, 1,144 square feet is within about 140 square feet of the 1,280-square-foot, two-bedroom home that sold on S Shiloh Road for $117,250 in August. The guest house at 6665 S OH-48 is not an add-on closet or a converted shed. It is a full-sized residence in its own right, sitting on the same acreage as the main house.
Add the two buildings together and the property holds roughly 4,506 square feet of living space: the 3,362 square foot main house plus the 1,144 square foot guest house. Spread across both structures, the $730,000 price works out to about $162 per square foot, a figure that gives a fuller picture of what the buyer received than the main-house number alone.
A second dwelling gives a buyer room to arrange a household around the property. It can hold visiting family, house a relative who wants independence close by, or serve as a separate space for a student or other occupant. Properties that offer that kind of flexibility tend to attract a narrower but more motivated group of buyers, which is consistent with a longer marketing period and a result near the top of the township’s price range.
Two Ponds, a Barn and Manicured Acreage
The land is the other half of the story. The listing places the home on nearly 19 acres, calls the grounds award-winning and serene, and describes the acreage as manicured. The home and guest house overlook the grounds, two ponds and what the listing calls multiple outside amenities. Nearly 19 acres is a different category of property than a village or subdivision lot, and it changes how a buyer uses the home day to day.
The listing also mentions a barn alongside the oversized attached garage. A barn on a property like this can hold equipment, supplies, vehicles or hobby space, and it is one more structure that sets this parcel apart from a house sitting on a standard lot. The remarks say the views are amazing and must be seen to be appreciated, an invitation that appears to have worked: the home found a buyer at $730,000 after 77 days.
The combination here is not common in the township’s sales data. Of the 41 sales recorded over the past 12 months, only two closed at a higher price than this one. A buyer who wants a main house, a second dwelling, water on the property and acreage in one purchase has few places to look, and that scarcity helps explain why the property landed so high in the rankings.
Acreage properties also tend to be priced on the strength of the whole package rather than on any one number. That is why the per-square-foot figures for this sale, $217 for the main house and about $162 across both buildings, are best read alongside the land rather than apart from it.
How $730,000 Compares With Union Township’s Market
The township numbers put the result in focus. Union Township’s median sale price over the past 12 months was $349,000. This sale closed $381,000 above that figure, which is the 109 percent gap noted earlier. The township’s median price per square foot was $187, so the main house at $217 came in about 16 percent higher on that measure.
Among the 41 sales in the window, the highest was $1,060,000. This sale ranks third, which means roughly 95 percent of Union Township’s recent sales closed below it. Reaching the top three in a market where the median home sells for under $350,000 is an accomplishment in its own right, and it speaks to how much buyer interest a property like this can generate.
The list-to-sale picture is also worth reading closely. The seller listed at $795,000 and the sale closed at $730,000, which is $65,000 below the asking price and about 92 percent of it. For a property priced well above the township norm, with a buyer pool that is smaller by nature, closing within a few points of the ask is a strong outcome.
The time on market adds one more layer. The township’s median is 14 days, and this home took 77. That longer path is common when a property is large, unusual and expensive, because the right buyer for it is not someone who happens to be browsing that week. The buyer who did arrive was willing to pay a price that only two other Union Township sales in the past year exceeded.
What the Closest Comparable Sales Show
The nearby sales help frame the number. The nearest match in size is the sale on Mitchell Road, a three-bedroom home of 3,624 square feet that closed at $460,000 on August 25, 2026. That home is about 262 square feet larger than the house at 6665 S OH-48, yet the sale here came in $270,000 higher.
Square footage alone does not account for that gap. This parcel brings nearly 19 acres, two ponds, a barn and a second one-bedroom dwelling of 1,144 square feet to the same transaction. The Mitchell Road sale is a useful reminder of what a large three-bedroom home brings on its own; the sale at 6665 S OH-48 shows what the land and the added structures can do on top of it.
A step down in size, a three-bedroom home of 2,120 square feet on Yount Road sold for $350,000 the same day, right at the township median. On River Cove, a three-bedroom home of 1,540 square feet closed at $395,000 on October 9, 2026, just weeks before this sale. Against that sale, the price at 6665 S OH-48 was $335,000 higher, with more than twice the house and a good deal more land attached.
Taken together, the comparables sketch a market with a clear structure: well-sized homes on conventional lots trading in the $350,000 to $460,000 range, and a handful of larger or more unusual properties pushing well above that. Sales like the one at 6665 S OH-48 define the upper tier.
What the Sale Means for Union Township
For Union Township, the result adds a data point at the upper end of the market. Only two of the 41 sales in the past 12 months closed higher, so a closing at $730,000 confirms that buyers will commit significant money to properties that offer land, outbuildings and flexible living space together.
That matters to owners of other acreage properties in the area, and it matters to anyone pricing one. A closed sale is a stronger reference than an asking price, and this one carries details that are easy to compare: a main house of 3,362 square feet, a guest house of 1,144 square feet, nearly 19 acres and a result of about $217 per square foot on the main house.
It also shows how these properties tend to trade. The home spent 77 days on the market, longer than the township’s 14-day median, and closed at about 92 percent of a $795,000 list price. Sellers of large and unusual homes can read that as a realistic picture: patience and a well-presented property can still produce a sale that ranks among the strongest in the area.
Most Miami Valley real estate news focuses on city blocks and neighborhood revival. Sales like this one are a reminder that the region’s housing market has strength at every scale, from small lots near downtown to long frontage and open land in the townships. At $730,000, 6665 S OH-48 is one of the strongest results Union Township has recorded in the past year.
