NASCAR fans have the green light to buy a sprawling North Carolina estate from one of the league’s greatest drivers.
Set in Mooresville, a.k.a. Race City U.S.A., the 33.6-acre home on Lake Norman is being sold by none other than Jamie McMurray. You know, the winner of the 2010 Daytona 500 and 2015 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. After a prolific 17-year racing career, the Missouri native retired in 2019 but remains in the spotlight as a NASCAR analyst for FOX Sports and the CW Network.

McMurray, 49, hasn’t shared why he is selling the gated property, but his loss could be your gain. The custom mansion, designed by Charlotte-based architect Harry Schader, includes a saltwater pool, a detached pool house, and a private dock that stretches along the direct lake frontage.
With an asking price of $12 million, the home is tied with one other as Mooresville’s most expensive listing. McMurray bought most of the property in 2011 for $796,000, then purchased the rest in 2015, according to records on Property Shark. His goal was to create one supersized estate.
“Homes on the Brawley Peninsula usually have an acre or less,” listing agent Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties told Mansion Global. “To my knowledge, there’s nothing that’s ever sold on the Brawley Peninsula with this kind of acreage on the waterfront.”
Sitting just off Brawley School Road, the gorgeous Georgian abode is surrounded by towering trees that impart a sense of privacy. Inside, a sophisticated foyer with Versailles parquet flooring leads to a spacious living room with a soaring coffered ceiling, a fireplace, and a wall of French doors that open to the manicured grounds.
A little further in lies a kitchen with a large island, a gas range, and an adjoining breakfast room for casual dining. Nearby, a formal dining room with prominent crown moldings comfortably seats 10 people for dinner parties.
Five bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread across the two-story residence. The primary suite spans the upper level, offering a spacious bedroom, a serene en suite with a showstopping marble-covered steam shower, and a walk-in closet. Three guest bedrooms are located upstairs, while one is positioned on the main level. Other interior highlights include a top-floor game room and an office decked out with NASCAR memorabilia.
The backyard provides ample space for entertaining: There is a stone patio with a built-in BBQ grill, a lounge, and a table for alfresco dining, as well as a sunken seating area with a fire pit for cocktail hour. At the center of it all is a huge saltwater swimming pool flanked by sunbeds. Sounds like the perfect place to unwind after a day (or nearly two decades) on the track.
