CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If you were hoping to buy a Mediterranean, Florida-style estate in the Charlotte area, you're out of luck. It's off the market now.
The highest sale price property in Charlotte market history closed Wednesday morning for the cool prices of $8.4 million. Don't worry, it included all of its one-of-a-kind furniture. It beat the previous record sale by $800,000, which was a 18th century-style chateau in the Quail Hollow neighborhood of southeast Charlotte.
The previous owner of this record-breaking home, Charlotte Checkers buyer Michael Kahn, put the nearly 13,000-square-foot property, which is located in a gated community at Greenwood on Providence Road, on the market for just under $7.9 million. He had purchased it in 2013 for nearly $2 million. The recent buyer is being kept anonymous at this time.

The house has five bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms.
The home was designed by Don Evans who is known for collaborating with many celebrities. The estate, which was recently renovated in 2016, sits on 5.41 acres and is privately gated. It features a limestone fountain and a six-car garage. Other extravagant features include a Moroccan-themed private patio with a koi pond, a Biltmore-themed dining area and bedroom, heated floors, a cast-iron soaking tub, a pirate themed game room, a pebble-tech swimming pool, a outdoor waterfall, a steam shower and sauna, a gym, a pizza-making oven in the covered cabana, a putting green and a sports court where people could play either tennis or basketball.
