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