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.
