1641 NC 96 has a Price per Square Foot of $1,059.
Here’s how that compares to the surrounding area:
-
1723 River Club Way, Franklinton, NC 27525
-
Price: ⬇️ (Sold for $4.01M less)
-
Sq Ft: ⬇️ (1,110 sq ft smaller)
-
Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($877 lower per sq ft)
-
Condition: ⬇️ (Builder-grade luxury vs. bespoke custom estate)
This property on River Club Way is a traditional two-story home on less than an acre, making it a very different asset class than the home for sale. This sold listing features nice updates like a blue kitchen island and a screened porch, but it lacks the high-end architectural details like the 10-foot ceilings and solid 8-foot doors found at 1641 NC 96. The significant price difference is primarily driven by the 140 acres of land and the professional horse facilities included with the main listing.
🟡 This is a helpful look at local residential values, but the home for sale is positioned as a premier luxury estate rather than a standard subdivision home.

-
1633 Carriage Drive, Franklinton, NC 27525-
Price: ⬇️ (Sold for $3.96M less)
-
Sq Ft: ⬇️ (1,495 sq ft smaller)
-
Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($834 lower per sq ft)
-
Condition: ⬇️ (Well-maintained traditional vs. high-end custom luxury)
The home on Carriage Drive is a lovely ranch-style property that highlights the value of single-level living in the area. While this sold listing features a great outdoor fireplace and a nice kitchen, the finishes are more traditional compared to the handcrafted luxury and professional chef’s kitchen at 1641 NC 96. The value of the home for sale is tied up in its 141 acres and extensive equestrian setup, which this sold listing simply doesn’t have.
🟡 Comparing these two shows the massive premium placed on large acreage and specialized agricultural improvements in this market.

3812 Ironwood Drive, Franklinton, NC 27525-
Price: ⬇️ (Sold for $3.97M less)
-
Sq Ft: ⬇️ (1,317 sq ft smaller)
-
Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($852 lower per sq ft)
-
Condition: ⬇️ (Standard high-end vs. custom luxury estate)
This home on Ironwood Drive is a beautiful suburban residence, but it represents a completely different lifestyle than the home for sale. While this sold listing offers modern finishes like granite and a coffered dining room, 1641 NC 96 is a massive 140-acre equestrian estate with specialized facilities and custom hand-cut oak bark siding. The price gap is enormous because you are comparing a standard residential lot to a significant land holding with multiple professional-grade outbuildings and a guest house.
🟡 If you are looking for a standard neighborhood home, this sold listing is a great benchmark, but it doesn’t account for the vast acreage and luxury infrastructure at 1641 NC 96.
