Got $13M and a dream? Price drop just in for unique mansion near Charlotte
NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has dropped the asking price of his mansion north of Charlotte, its new listing shows.
Stenhouse originally listed the mansion for $16 million in July 2022, ESPN reported at the time.
He’s reduced the price by about $3 million, according to the new listing by Charlotte-based HM Corcoran Properties.
The Charlotte Business Journal first reported the lower sales price.
At $15.995 million, the mansion would have been the largest home resale ever in the 16-county Charlotte market, Josh Tucker, co-broker for the seller, told The Charlotte Observer at the time. Tucker couldn’t be reached Friday.
Putting green, horse-riding arena
The 9,986-square-foot mansion graces a 140-acre parcel at 355 Pelham Lane, off N.C. 152 east of Mooresville and about 35 miles north of Charlotte.
The property has 18 European-style equestrian stables and an outdoor entertainment area that includes a vanishing edge upper pool, a pool house/cabana and a putting green, according to its listing.
The mansion has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, according its listing. The property has a fitness training center, 3-acre pond, guest housing and a covered horse-riding arena with a sound system.
The seller of the mansion, in Rowan County east of Mooresville, is listed as a limited liability company in public property tax records, Slide Job LLC.
Tucker declined in 2022 to confirm that Stenhouse Jr. is behind the LLC.
The name, however, has strong ties to the driver, NBC Sports reported in a 2018 profile of the 2020 Daytona 500 pole winner.
Driver raced dirt bikes
Stenhouse Jr. named his property Slide Job Ranch in homage to dirt bike racing and a notorious racing move, according to NBC Sports.
A slide job is when a driver on the inside of the track heads into a turn with such force that he slides up the track in front of a driver on the outside, Inside Dirt Racing reported in 2017. The move is common on dirt tracks, according to the site.
Stenhouse raced dirt bikes as a kid and rides them on his property, Motor Racing Network reported in 2019.
The Mississippi native hasn’t said why he’s selling the home.
Ties to past NASCAR drivers
The mansion has ties to top-flight former NASCAR drivers, Tucker told the Observer in 2022.
Ernie Irvan, who drove in the NASCAR Cup series for 13 years and won the Daytona 500, owned a home on the property in the 1990s, Tucker said.
After a fire destroyed the home, Irvan built a new one in 2001, according to the broker.
Driver and team owner Joe Nemechek bought the property and developed its equestrian amenities and related road network in the mid-2000s, Tucker said.
Slide Job LLC has owned the property since 2014, property records show.
