NASCAR legend Tony Stewart lists Indiana mansion with indoor river for $30 million
Former NASCAR great Tony Stewart might be done making laps on the race car track, but he’s looking to make his mark on the real estate world with his downright insane mega mansion. The sports star listed his almost 20,000-square-foot estate for $30 million in Columbus, Indiana.
The interior of the home is so wild that it caught the attention of a popular social media page.
For starters, the entryway and the great room of the six-bedroom, 11-bathroom home can double as a wildlife feature on a Discovery show. It has an 8,700-gallon freshwater aquarium, along with a two-story waterfall and even a trout stream.
That’s right — there’s a river inside.
There’s also a game area on the lower level complete with a bar, bowling alley and golf-simulator room. There also appears to be a plethora of race car helmets in the photos on Zillow.com, but the listing doesn’t say if those are thrown in with the sale of the home.
Other features include:
Top-notch kitchen
Wicked views
Guesthouse
Workshop
The mansion sits on 415 acres, ideal for hunters since “elk, deer, and turkey are abundant” on this preserve, the listing says.
The estate turned heads on Zillow Gone Wild as fans drew comparisons to the retired driver’s home and cracked jokes.
“He said to the designer ‘I really love going to the Great Wolf Lodge.....I wanna live there.’ And, voila!” one person joked.
“You know it feels like a luxurious log cabin lodge,” another observed. “And I love indoor water features and aquariums and plants plus amazing views and that basement entertainment center plus a lake. While my first choice of design isn’t log cabin or bass pro shop, I kind of love this.”
“I’d be very disappointed if it didn’t smell like cinnamon pecans and fish bait in there,” someone joked. “Welcome to Bass Pro/Cabela’s.”
“This house is brought to you by the color brown,” one person observed.
“If Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and a Bass Pro shop had a love child, this is what it would look like,” another said.
Stewart, who is one of NASCAR’s most recognizable faces, retired in 2016 after spending two decades professionally behind the wheel, TonyStewart.com said.
Columbus is about 46 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
