Martin Truex Jr.’s North Carolina House Lists for $7.5 Million

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.

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.

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.
