‘Dear Lord Baby Jesus,’ That’s a price cut: Ex-NASCAR driver sold Charlotte home for $10M
Retired NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick and his wife, DeLana Harvick, have sold their south Charlotte mansion for $10 million — $2.5 million less than their original asking price, according to its listing.
The mansion is located on nearly 4.5 acres in the 1900 block of Bent Branch Drive, off Carmel Road in the SouthPark community. The Harvicks paid about $3.34 million in 2014 for the home, according to public records.
The buyer wasn’t disclosed and is not yet listed in public tax records. The Harvicks are still listed as the owners of the property.
Its listing, handled by Realtor Heather Gibbs of Corcoran HM Properties, shows the property sold last month.
The home is within walking distance of the Charlotte Country Day School.
9,157 square feet, six bedrooms
The home and land had a total 2024 appraised value of $8.485 million, according to Mecklenburg County tax records.
That includes an assessed value of nearly $4.5 million for the land, $3.9 million for the home and $38,700 in various features, the records show.
The 9,157-square-foot gated villa has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms.
The grounds include pool and guest houses and a 3-acre turfed rear yard with a putting green and multiple tee boxes.
The pool house includes a full kitchen and indoor-outdoor dining areas; the guest house has a private gated entrance, a gym, arcade, golf simulator, kitchen and an office, according to the listing.
The mansion includes five guest suites; a home theater; a play room; and a primary suite with a porch, lounge, dual baths and multi-level closet.
In 2023, the Harvicks paid $6.75 million for a Cornelius mansion, the house where the famous “Dear Lord Baby Jesus” dinner scene was filmed for the classic 2006 Will Ferrell sports comedy, “Talladega Nights.”
