The widow of late LendingTree founder Doug Lebda has put the family’s Quail Hollow estate on Baltusrol Lane up for sale, with an asking price just under $15 million. The golf-course-adjacent mansion hit the market this week just as Quail Hollow gears up for the Truist Championship, making the high-profile listing the latest public move tied to the Lebda estate after his unexpected death in October 2025. In other words, one of south Charlotte’s most talked-about homes is suddenly in play.
What’s for sale
The single-family estate, listed by Lebda’s widow, is being marketed at about $15 million and directly backs up to the Quail Hollow Club, according to the Charlotte Business Journal. That coverage features photos credited to SkyCam Digital and plays up the property’s prime course frontage. The Business Journal also notes that the listing appeared just ahead of tournament week.
Lebda's legacy and the listing
Doug Lebda founded LendingTree in 1996 and built it into a national online lending marketplace before his death in an ATV accident on Oct. 12, 2025, according to AP News. The company called his death unexpected and elevated then-COO Scott Peyree to the CEO role as leadership shifted in the aftermath. Given Lebda’s high public profile, it is not exactly shocking that the decision to list his Quail Hollow estate is drawing immediate attention around Charlotte.
Why timing matters
The Truist Championship is scheduled to return to Quail Hollow from May 6 to 10, 2026, a signature PGA event that brings heavy local and national focus to the club, according to the Truist Championship. Axios notes that the event’s return tends to amplify visibility for nearby properties during tournament week, which does not hurt when you are asking close to eight figures.
Quail Hollow market context
Quail Hollow has a track record of producing some of Charlotte’s priciest residential listings and keeping demand strong for trophy homes that combine course views with privacy, as luxury real-estate coverage has highlighted. Mansion Global has pointed to a nearly $8 million home there as one of the city’s top-priced offerings. For sellers, the mix of scale, location and tournament timing can push a property like this into a different league than the typical suburban listing.
Whether the mansion ultimately trades hands in a public deal or a quiet, private sale, the listing underscores how Lebda’s footprint in Charlotte is still shaping real-estate chatter. Expect plenty of side-eye from would-be buyers and tournament visitors alike as one of Quail Hollow’s most notable estates tests the market in real time.
