    NASCAR Legend Martin Truex Jr. Just Listed His North Carolina Estate for $7.5 Million

    by

    Start your engines and whip out your checkbooks! A North Carolina property owned by NASCAR veteran Martin Truex Jr. has officially rumbled onto the market. Nestled on the outskirts of Charlotte in Mooresville—known as “Race City USA” for its large concentration of racing teams and drivers—the sprawling waterfront spread is listed for $7.5 million with Liza Caminiti of Ivester Jackson Christie’s International Real Estate.

    The recently retired NASCAR driver bought the property in April 2006 for nearly $1.5 million and subsequently custom-built a European-style manor that was completed in 2010. Sited in the Northwood neighborhood amid a gated parcel spanning nearly five acres on the shore of Lake Norman, the stucco and stone structure has a combined total of five bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 14,300 square feet.

    A vaulted living room overlooking the lake is centered on a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

    In addition to a main home featuring a little more than 8,700 square feet on three levels, a carriage house sports a guest apartment up top and a climate-controlled four-car garage with a workshop down below. Primed for auto enthusiasts, the four-car garage could potentially hold eight vehicles with added lifts, while another garage offers up two more spaces.

    A turreted entryway opens to reveal a vaulted living room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and large expanses of glass offering picturesque lake views. Other main-level highlights include a gourmet kitchen with a fireside family room on one side and a breakfast nook on the other, as well as a posh primary suite hosting a balcony, a coffee bar, a two-story closet, and a spa-inspired bath with a built-in spa tub and huge walk-in steam shower.

    Three additional en suite bedrooms and an office with a ladder-accessible loft can be found upstairs, while the lower level is decked out with a full bar, a game lounge, a mirrored gym, and a crimson-hued movie theater that has a star-lit ceiling and an accompanying snack bar.

    A grotto-style infinity pool in the backyard comes complete with a spillover spa and waterfalls.

    Outdoors, the woodsy grounds are spotlighted by a grotto-style infinity pool with a spa and waterfalls, a covered patio with a grilling station, a fire pit, and a garden-laced pathway leading down to a private dock with a boat lift. An added bonus: The buyer has an opportunity to purchase an adjacent 4.6-acre plot of land that’s also owned by Truex.

    A professional NASCAR driver for more than two decades, the soon-to-be 45-year-old Truex retired from full-time competition after the 2024 season as the 2017 Cup Series champ and a two-time Xfinity Series winner. The future NASCAR Hall of Famer, who is selling because he’s already moved out of state, hails from a racing family that includes his father, Martin Truex Sr., a former NASCAR Busch North Series racer who died earlier this year at age 66. His younger brother, Ryan Truex, is a three-time Xfinity Series winner.

      NASCAR’s Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Just Sold His North Carolina Ranch in a Record-Setting $12.2 Million Deal

      by

      In North Carolina racing country, it’s only fitting that the newest real estate record belongs to a NASCAR champion.

      Ricky Stenhouse Jr., winner of the 2023 Daytona 500 and two-time Xfinity Series champ, has just sold his Mooresville estate for $12.2 million, setting a new residential price record for the greater Charlotte metro area. Known as Slide Job Ranch, the roughly 140-acre spread blends equestrian grandeur with high-octane heritage, a nod to its string of motorsports legends, including former owners Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek.

      The deal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, marks a dramatic return on investment for Stenhouse, who purchased the property in 2013 for $3.8 million. Represented by Josh Tucker and Joey Adams of Corcoran HM Properties, the driver sold the estate to an all-cash buyer from South Florida—someone with no ties to NASCAR, despite the home’s track-side pedigree.

      The sprawling 140-acre estate has extensive equestrian amenities.

      “This estate is truly one of a kind,” Tucker says. “From its world-class equestrian facilities to its resort-style grounds and exquisite architectural craftsmanship, it’s a rare property not only for Charlotte, but for the entire Southeast.”

      Originally built around 2000 and extensively renovated under Stenhouse’s ownership, the more than 9,100-square-foot main residence is packed with plush details: a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops and a walk-in pantry, a private library, a home theater, and expansive terraces that look out over the sweeping grounds. Outside, a vanishing-edge pool, pool house, putting green, and alfresco kitchen with fireplace turn up the resort vibes.

      Horse lovers will find plenty to gawk at, too. The European-style stables stretch 5,500 square feet and feature 18 custom stalls, a climate-controlled tack room, and a covered arena designed to top-tier standards.

      The property was last available at $12.99 million but ultimately sold after it had been taken off the open market. The sale eclipses the previous Charlotte-area record: an $11.5 million waterfront estate on Lake Norman sold in July 2024.

      “This record-breaking sale is a testament to the continued strength of the Charlotte luxury market,” Tucker says. “Buyers at this price point are looking for more than just a home—they’re seeking a particular lifestyle, ultimate privacy, and unique amenities, and this property delivers on all those fronts.”

      Stenhouse, for his part, isn’t heading far. He and his wife Madyson still own a neighboring 160-acre parcel, which they purchased in 2018, and are reportedly considering building a new home nearby. Slide job, indeed.

      Chicago Bears Star D.J. Moore Just Tossed His North Carolina Home on the Market for $5 Million

      by

      Back in spring 2022, a few years after he was signed to the Carolina Panthers squad, D.J. Moore doled out $5 million for a lakefront property in the North Carolina city of Charlotte. Now, following a trade that saw him go to the Chicago Bears last season, the NFL wide receiver has decided to hand over the keys to the residence for the exact same price he paid for the modern lakefront spread a little over two years ago.

      Resting amid a gated parcel spanning nearly 4 acres in The Sanctuary community, along the shores of Lake Wylie bordering South Carolina, the white wood-shingled structure was built in 2019 and has five bedrooms and six baths in a little more than 9,700 square feet of three-level living space offering picturesque water views from almost every vantage point.

      Currently unfurnished, the open-concept interiors are introduced by a pivoting front door that leads into a soaring great room anchored by a fireplace and retractable glass doors spilling out to a screened-in balcony warmed by a fireplace. Other highlights include a gourmet kitchen outfitted with pricey backlit quartzite countertops, an eat-in island, top-tier appliances, a breakfast nook, and an adjacent scullery, plus a fireside primary suite hosting a private balcony, custom closets, and a luxe bath equipped with an oval soaking tub and a large walk-through shower.

      Elsewhere are two laundry rooms, including one with a built-in pet-feeding station, as well as recreation and bonus spaces, a window-lined gym, and a movie theater. Outdoors, the woodsy grounds are spotlighted by a pool with a Baja shelf, an in-ground trampoline, and numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

      An oversized primary suite comes complete with a pair of bespoke closets.

      Per the listing held by Tracy Davis of Christie’s International Real Estate, there are also dual garages with room for up to four vehicles, along with a covered parking spot for a golf cart and renderings for a new pier.

      The 27-year-old Philadelphia native was originally drafted by the Carolina Panthers out of the University of Maryland in 2018 with the No. 24 overall pick. Moore went on to join the Chicago Bears in 2023 as part of a blockbuster trade that included the Bears’ No. 1 pick in the draft, which the Panthers used to select Heisman Trophy-winning Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.
