Updated: July 10, 2026
Ever wonder what the very top of the Columbus housing market actually looks like? The most expensive home for sale in Franklin County right now is a $10 million estate on 13.7 private acres in New Albany. From there the list runs down through golf-course mansions, a Bexley pool estate, and a couple of Upper Arlington showpieces, before we get to a few honorable mentions worth a look on their own.
One honest note before we start: New Albany dominates this list, and it is not close. Six of the ten homes sit inside or around the New Albany Country Club, where Central Ohio’s biggest new builds cluster on the golf course. If you want variety, the honorable mentions at the end spread out into Bexley, German Village, the Short North, and downtown.
Every listing below was checked against current MLS data in July 2026. Here’s what that kind of money buys in Franklin County this summer.

1. 5000 Kitzmiller Rd, New Albany – $10,000,000
List price:
- $10,000,000
Details:
- 6 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and 15,670 square feet, on 13.7 acres
About the house:
- This is the one that resets the ceiling. Ten million dollars buys you 13.7 gated, wooded acres in the middle of New Albany, which is almost unheard of this close to town. Architect Brian Kent Jones designed it, and it was built as the personal residence of one of New Albany’s most prolific builders, so the finish level is exactly what you’d expect from someone building for himself. It has never been on the market before. The Georgian exterior opens to a grand foyer with soaring ceilings, and there’s a five-car garage for the collection.

2. 1 Bottomley Crescent, New Albany – $6,000,000
List price:
- $6,000,000
Details:
- 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 9,565 square feet, on a 0.82 acre lot
About the house:
- The first house on New Albany Country Club’s Crescent, fresh off a four-year whole-home renovation. The kitchen is stacked with Gaggenau appliances, backlit quartzite, and a built-in espresso machine, and the lower level is basically a private club: a 15-seat theater, a wine tasting room, a fitness studio with a steam shower, and a sports lounge. Car people, take note, the garage holds six with two lifts and six EV chargers.

3. 7590 Brandon Rd, New Albany – $5,400,000
List price:
- $5,400,000
Details:
- 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and 9,380 square feet
About the house:
- Another New Albany Country Club address, this one built around a private courtyard with a resort-style pool, spa, and pool pavilion. The chef’s kitchen runs custom walnut cabinetry, a French Lacanche range, and twin Sub-Zeros. My favorite detail is the vaulted screened porch with a wood-burning fireplace, the kind of spot you’d actually use nine months a year. The owner’s suite bath is done in Carrara marble.

4. 4105 Highgrove Crescent, New Albany – $4,250,000
List price:
- $4,250,000
Details:
- 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 6,600 square feet
About the house:
- A brand-new Georgian mansion on something New Albany Country Club almost never has left, an empty parcel. It sits right at a tee box overlooking the West Nine, with three finished levels and that never-been-lived-in shine. If you’ve wanted into the club neighborhood but didn’t want anyone else’s finishes, this is the rare new build.

5. 3842 Lambton Pl, New Albany – $4,200,000
List price:
- $4,200,000
Details:
- 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and 14,566 square feet, on a 0.76 acre lot
About the house:
- The biggest house in the top ten by a wide margin, a Kevin Knight custom home with panoramic views of the third fairway. Inside there’s an elevator, an indoor pool with its own hot tub and sauna, and a walkout lower level built for entertaining. The kitchen got a full 2026 refresh with new appliances and a waterfall island, and there’s a private in-law suite for good measure. All of it on a premier cul-de-sac lot.

6. 2252 Club Rd, Upper Arlington – $4,100,000
List price:
- $4,100,000
Details:
- 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 5,138 square feet, built in 1926
About the house:
- Finally, something that isn’t New Albany, and something with some age. This 1926 Tudor sits directly across from Scioto Country Club and just went through a complete top-down renovation across three finished levels. It keeps the good bones, arched doorways, wide-plank white oak floors, a two-story glass entry foyer, then adds a dramatic floating staircase and a chef’s kitchen with a quartzite island. Old Arlington charm with none of the old-house headaches.

7. 4135 High Grove Crest, New Albany – $3,999,900
List price:
- $3,999,900
Details:
- 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 8,804 square feet, completed in 2024
About the house:
- This is the fun one. A transition hall with a circular glass floor lets you look straight down into the temperature-controlled wine cellar, and tucked away somewhere is a hidden bourbon room. The chef’s kitchen has Wolf and Sub-Zero everything plus a hidden scullery, and the lower level packs a full theater, a bar, and a professional-grade gym. It overlooks a pond and the ninth fairway of the club’s West Course, with a heated driveway and a resort-style pool, spa, and pool house out back.

8. 3134 Asbury Dr, Upper Arlington – $3,399,000
List price:
- $3,399,000
Details:
- 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 5,698 square feet, built in 2025
About the house:
- The most architecturally daring house on the list. It’s clad in thermally modified ash and stone, with 21-foot ceilings, floating stairs, and a hard rule against synthetic finishes, only wood, stone, limewashed walls, and spa-grade microcement in the baths. Six ensuite bedrooms, a theater, a gym, dual laundry rooms, and yes, a dedicated dog shower. The whole thing runs on a smart-home system you control from an in-wall iPad, and the saltwater pool is heated and self-cleaning.

9. 336 S Columbia Ave, Bexley – $3,375,000
List price:
- $3,375,000
Details:
- 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 8,823 square feet, on a 1.15 acre lot, built in 1911
About the house:
- Bexley’s most expensive listing, on one of its most prestigious streets. It’s an Italian Renaissance estate on more than an acre, with a pool and a separate carriage-house apartment. Inside there’s a sunken living room with a wet bar and piano area, a sunroom with actual floating couch swings, and a primary wing with its own spa room, sauna, and soaking tub. The heated saltwater pool runs 40 feet. Built in 1911 and clearly kept up.

10. 2165 S Parkway Dr, Upper Arlington – $3,200,000
List price:
- $3,200,000
Details:
- 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3,345 square feet, built in 1929
About the house:
- The most house-like house on the list, in the best way. A 1929 Upper Arlington classic with five fireplaces, a slate roof, and the original leaded-glass windows still intact, renovated back in 2006 but keeping every bit of the character. It’s the smallest square footage in the ten, which tells you what a UA address and real 1920s craftsmanship are worth right now.

Honorable Mentions
A ranking by price alone leaves out some of the most interesting homes on the market. Here are four worth a look for reasons that have nothing to do with being the priciest.
German Village: 252 E Beck St – $3,150,000
Details:
- 3 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 4,891 square feet
About the house:
- Designed by renowned local architect Bill Hugus and built by Steve Heinlen, this one trades square footage for craft. Think soaring ceilings, hand-forged bronze hardware, and dramatic industrial-style grid windows, with quarter-sawn oak floors that were just refinished in 2025. The rooftop patio looks out over German Village, and a custom fountain anchors the newly refreshed garden. Proof that the most expensive isn’t always the most designed.

Olde Towne East: 875 E Broad St – $1,895,000
Details:
- 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 6,649 square feet, built in 1895
About the house:
- The Historic C.E. Morris Mansion, a Romanesque Revival estate on Olde Towne East’s grand stretch of Broad Street. Built in the late 1800s and carefully restored, it even incorporates salvaged historic elements from the former Indianola United Methodist Church. For a little more than half the price of the tenth home on our list, you get something none of the New Albany new-builds can offer, more than a century of Columbus history under one roof.

Short North: 845 N High St #501 & 502 – $1,599,900
Details:
- 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 3,103 square feet
About the house:
- For the person who wants the city, not the country club. This custom penthouse was created by combining two units right on High Street, in the heart of the Short North’s gallery and design district. Four fireplaces, a steam room, a media room, and a rooftop with panoramic downtown views. You walk out your door into the best of the neighborhood.

Downtown: 1 Miranova Pl #2200 – $1,895,000
Details:
- 3 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3,736 square feet
About the house:
- A “center penthouse” on the 22nd floor of Miranova, one of downtown’s signature glass towers. Two condos combined into nearly 4,000 square feet, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing both north and south and a 48-foot balcony reached through six sliding glass doors. Full-service building too, 24-hour concierge, pool, and a guest suite. This is skyline living, and the views do the talking.
