    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.

    “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.

      Susie Hilfiger’s Historic Connecticut Estate Just Listed for a Cool $18 Million

      by

      Before fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and Susie Hilfiger, his wife of 20 years, called it quits, they shared a country house in Greenwich, Conn. Now, she’s hoisted the historic estate that the estranged couple bought in the ‘90s onto the market.  

      Originally built in 1775, the sprawling 17-acre property dubbed Denbigh Farm is asking just shy of $18 million—which is actually a steal considering what it was listed for just a few years prior. When the Hilfigers purchased the abode, it was owned by the late Joseph Verner Reed Jr.—a former U.S. ambassador to Morocco. At the time, the manor was thought of as a place where their family could seek refuge and maintain a low profile. Although, in speaking with Architectural Digest, Susie admitted that they “instantly fell in love with it.”

      The home has seen several renovations throughout its lifetime, one at the hands of New York-based firm Albro & Lindeberg in the early 20th century and another by architect Allan Greenberg that was completed in the early 2000s shortly after the couple moved in. “The house deserved sensitivity and attention to detail,” Susie explains to AD. “It had amazing bones and an even better spirit. We redid everything: the roof, the plumbing, all the infrastructure.”  

      Today, the spread comprises a main shingle-roofed residence, along with a detached guest cottage, and two additional apartments located above the garage. Equestrian enthusiasts will enjoy a horse stable with six stalls, multiple paddocks, and a riding arena. The grounds also sport a carriage house, chicken coops, an apple orchard, a tennis court, and a swimming pool. Though, a children’s playhouse modeled after George Washington’s Mount Vernon is one of the more peculiar perks.  

      Susie renovated the 18th-century estate alongside her ex-husband and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger,

      For the Sister Parish–inspired interiors of the main house, Susie tapped London’s Colefax and Fowler to tackle the design. All of the living spaces, in addition to the seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, are decked out with colorful textiles, hand-painted wallpaper, and antiques that the Hilfigers have collected—including pieces that once belonged to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor that were acquired at auction in 1997. “We bought carpets, a pair of eagle-shaped consoles, and the famous blue sofa she kept at the end of her bed where she would keep her pug dolls,” Susie tells the magazine. “We even bought her green Venetian secretary where she conducted all her household business.” 

      While we imagine it’ll be hard to part ways with the dwelling that she’s owned for close to three decades, Susie revealed to the publication that she plans on moving to the West Coast to be closer to her kids. “I loved raising my children at Denbigh Farm, but now I’ve started a new chapter.”

      Sylvester Stallone’s Equestrian Estate in California Hits the Market for $22.5 Million

      by

      Sylvester Stallone has gone from embodying a heavyweight boxer to becoming a real-life house flipper. Luckily, his real-estate endeavors have been anything but rocky.  

      Earlier this year, the Academy Award–winning actor dropped $18 million on a roughly two-acre compound in the San Fernando Valley. That is, after he and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, sold their longtime Beverly Park estate to singer Adele. Now, Sly is unloading that same California dude ranch he bought back in March, but this time, it’s on the market with an even bigger price tag—a whopping $22.5 million. 

      The Hamptons-style residence, designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, is set at the end of an exceedingly private cul-de-sac inside the celeb-studded, guard-gated community of Hidden Hills. The property includes an amenity-packed main pad, a separate guest house and a large swimming pool with its own spa and cabana. If you’ve got a passion for horses like the Tulsa King star and equestrian enthusiast, there’s also a four-stall barn and a riding arena. Elsewhere, the grounds include an outdoor kitchen, a sprawling fruit orchard and vegetable gardens.  

      Built in 2015, the main house and guest dwelling total more than 10,000 square feet and offer four bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms altogether. A swanky media room and gym are a few of the interior highlights; consider the library and wine cellar to be added perks. Stalone’s stately abode also has an open-concept chef’s kitchen with granite countertops and a formal dining area. The spacious living room has been decked out with a fireplace, vaulted wood-beam ceilings and sliding glass doors.  

      Of course, the primary bedroom is as opulent as one would expect. There’s a sitting area, not one but two walk-in closets, a private balcony and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and a steam shower. The Hollywood icon is reportedly ditching his digs to spend more time in Florida where he has a property in Palm Beach. Or perhaps he’s just on the hunt for his next home improvement project.  

      Jordan Cohen of Re/Max One holds the listing.
