Most home sales in the Miami Valley happen on lots measured in feet. This one is measured in acres, and in Tipp City it closed among the 11 highest sales of the past year.
A Five-Acre Sale That Closed in 13 Days
The house at 6350 Troy-Frederick Road in Tipp City closed on November 3, 2026 for $655,000, after only 13 days on the market. It sits on five acres of wooded ground at the end of a winding driveway, and the price ranks it 11th out of 321 recorded sales in Tipp City over the past twelve months.
That is a narrow slice of the market. Only ten sales in the last year closed higher, which places this one in the top 4 percent of Tipp City transactions. The area’s median sale price over the same stretch is $365,000, so this home closed 79 percent above the middle of the market.
The seller listed the property at $714,900, and it closed at $655,000, which is 8.4 percent under the asking figure, or $59,900. The pace is the more telling number. The median Tipp City home spent 36 days on the market over the past year; this one needed 13. A property priced well into the upper tier of the local market drew a buyer in under two weeks, which says something about the demand that exists for land, privacy and room to spread out.
The home is a four-bedroom house with two full baths and a half bath, 2,498 square feet of living space, built in 1971. The sale works out to $262 per square foot, against a Tipp City median of $165. Part of that gap comes from land: five acres is a different product than a standard subdivision lot, and this property adds a remodeled outbuilding on top of the house and its three-car garage.
Taken together, the numbers describe a sale that moved quickly and landed high in the local rankings. The details of the property explain why.
The Main Floor: Foyer, Fireplace and a Working Kitchen
Visitors enter through a foyer with a wood staircase that anchors the center of the house. To the left is the family room, where a wood-burning fireplace is framed by built-in cabinetry and shelving. To the right, the dining room opens directly into the kitchen, so the two rooms work together whenever there is a table to set.
The kitchen is the room most buyers will study first. It has granite countertops, stainless steel KitchenAid appliances that were installed in 2023, abundant cabinetry, long runs of counter space and a bar for seating. Past it, an eat-in area flows into a breakfast room and a living room, which gives the back half of the main floor a continuous, open feel. The breakfast room holds the rear entry door.
Across the eat-in area, the practical rooms are grouped together: a hall tree for coats and bags, a door into the three-car garage, a laundry room with its own exit to the front patio, and a half bath. A furnace room near the staircase keeps the mechanicals out of the living space. Those details are easy to overlook in a listing and hard to live without, and here they keep daily traffic, from garage to kitchen to laundry, in one corner of the house.
Fresh paint throughout and new blinds installed in 2026 mean the surfaces a buyer notices first are current. Combined with the kitchen appliances, the main level reads as a house that has been maintained rather than one waiting for its next project.
A floor plan with a fireplace room, a dining room, an eat-in kitchen, a breakfast room and a living room offers a lot of choice about how to use the space. A household can eat at the bar on a weeknight, set the dining room for a holiday, and still have two other rooms for everything else.
Four Bedrooms, Including One on the First Floor
The first-floor bedroom has a bay window that looks over the rear yard. A bedroom on the main level is a flexible asset: it can serve as a guest room, a home office or a quiet room set apart from the stairs, and in a house with this much room downstairs it keeps the layout adaptable.
Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with the private primary suite. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, an electric fireplace and a full ensuite bath with a custom-tiled shower. Between that fireplace and the wood-burning one in the family room, the house carries two, one on each floor.
The split of one bedroom downstairs and three upstairs gives the house two distinct zones: shared rooms and a flex room on the main level, with the sleeping quarters above. In total the home has four bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath. With one bath attached to the primary suite and another serving the upstairs bedrooms, the count takes pressure off the morning routine.
The house dates to 1971, and the mechanical updates matter at that age. The furnace and air conditioning were updated in 2025, and a new water softener went in during 2026. Those are the systems buyers of older homes tend to ask about, and here the answers are recent.
At 2,498 square feet, the house has room for four bedrooms without making any of them an afterthought. The price per square foot of $262 reflects a property where the house, the acreage and the outbuilding are all part of the package.
Five Acres, a Winding Driveway and a Remodeled Outbuilding
The property’s defining feature is its land. The listing describes five acres of wooded surroundings and country views, reached by a winding driveway that sets the tone on arrival. A long drive and a tree line are what separate this kind of property from a house on a standard lot: the buildings sit back, and the space around them is part of what the buyer pays for.
The wooded setting also shapes the view from inside. The first-floor bedroom’s bay window looks out over the rear yard, and the listing describes the surroundings as peaceful country scenery.
Behind the house stands a remodeled outbuilding that adds real working space. It includes a garage and workshop, two additional rooms and a loft storage area. The listing points to hobbies, storage and extra workspace as natural uses, and the mix of rooms, workshop and loft leaves the new owner a lot of room to decide.
Counting the three-car garage at the house and the garage/workshop in the outbuilding, the property carries a substantial amount of covered space for vehicles, tools and equipment. On a five-acre parcel, that is often the difference between a property that works for someone with projects and one that only looks the part.
Several updates round out the package. The furnace and air conditioning date to 2025, the water softener and blinds to 2026, and the KitchenAid appliances to 2023, with fresh paint throughout. A buyer taking on acreage usually has plenty of outdoor work to think about, and having the house’s major systems and kitchen recently addressed lets that attention go to the land.
How $655,000 Compares With the Tipp City Market
Tipp City recorded 321 sales over the past twelve months. The median sale price in that group was $365,000, the median price per square foot was $165, and the median home spent 36 days on the market before selling. The highest sale in the period closed at $945,700.
Measured against those figures, 6350 Troy-Frederick Road stands out on every line. The $655,000 price is 79 percent above the median. The $262 price per square foot is roughly 59 percent above the area’s $165. The 13 days on market is less than half the 36-day median. And the sale ranks 11th of 321, ahead of all but ten transactions in the area.
The $945,700 top sale shows how far the Tipp City market can stretch at the high end, and this result sits squarely in that upper band. The distance from the median to $655,000 is $290,000; the distance from $655,000 to the highest sale is $290,700. In other words, this home closed almost exactly halfway between the typical Tipp City sale and the top of the market, within $700.
The asking price matters for context too. The home came to market at $714,900 and closed at $655,000, a figure that now enters the record of what five-acre properties with outbuildings can command in Tipp City. Whatever the list price, the closed price is what an appraiser or an agent will pull when the next acreage property comes up, and $655,000 is a number that holds up well against the area’s medians.
A 13-day marketing period also leaves no time for a listing to go stale. The buyer who closed on this property recognized what it offered and moved quickly, in a market where the typical home takes nearly three times as long to sell.
The Closest Comparables
Recent sales nearby give the result useful company. Within a single week, three homes closed in a tight price band: Shooting Star Street on October 29 for $630,064, this property on November 3 for $655,000, and a five-bedroom home on Juniper Court on November 4 for $625,000. Troy-Frederick Road was the highest of the three.
The Shooting Star Street home matches on bedroom count, with four bedrooms, but it is a much larger house at 4,176 square feet. Its price works out to about $151 per square foot, compared with $262 here. The buyer on Troy-Frederick Road paid nearly $25,000 more than the buyer of a house with 1,678 more square feet. The difference comes down to what each property offers: here it is the land, the outbuilding and the privacy of five acres rather than additional interior space.
Juniper Court, at $625,000 for five bedrooms, confirms that buyers were active in the mid-$600,000s that week. This sale, at $655,000, finished $30,000 above it.
Lower in the nearby set, a four-bedroom home on Copperfield Lane with 1,856 square feet closed on October 30 for $360,000, about $194 per square foot and just under the area median. That home and this one share a bedroom count and little else: Troy-Frederick Road has 642 more square feet of interior space and five acres. The other two recent closings nearby, at $385,000 and $289,900, also landed closer to the median. Against that backdrop, the $655,000 result reads as a clear step up in the market rather than a nudge.
What the Sale Means for Tipp City
A sale in the top dozen of a 321-sale year is a data point for the whole market, not only for one owner. It shows that buyers in Tipp City will pay well above the median for land, outbuildings and a house that has been kept up, and that they will move fast when the property matches the price.
For sellers weighing a listing on acreage, the result offers a reference: a 1971 house on five acres, with a remodeled outbuilding, closed at $655,000 in under two weeks. For buyers, it is a reminder that the upper tier of Tipp City moves, and that the median figures in market reports do not describe every segment.
Three closings between $625,000 and $655,000 in one week also show a depth that a single sale cannot. One sale at that level can be an outlier. Three in seven days is a pattern, even if a short one.
For the Miami Valley more broadly, Tipp City’s results are a useful counterpart to the ongoing story of Dayton’s neighborhoods. The markets and price points differ, but the lesson is the same: homes that are well maintained, thoughtfully updated and priced where buyers see value sell, and each closing becomes the comparable the next one is measured against.
The house at 6350 Troy-Frederick Road was built in 1971, updated in 2023, 2025 and 2026, and sold on November 3, 2026. Fifty-five years in, it set a mark of its own for the area: an 11th-place finish among 321 sales.
