It’s hard to pinpoint just a few defining qualities of Ricky Bobby, the fictional NASCAR driver portrayed by Will Ferrell in the comedy film “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.” For starters, he owns a pet cougar, enjoys Fig Newton cookies, chews Big Red gum, and notoriously goes fast. The sensational character – known for his outsized personality on and off the racetrack – also resides in a luxurious house.
Bobby’s stunning brick mansion featured in the film is now for sale in real life.
Though “Talladega Nights” is set around Talladega, Alabama – home of the Talladega Superspeedway – much of the movie was filmed in North Carolina. The home chosen as Bobby’s residence is located in Cornelius, North Carolina and is situated on scenic Lake Norman.

At over 12,000 square-feet, the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom luxury home features a gourmet kitchen – complete with a double oven and two dishwashers – as well as multiple rooms for lounging, a fully functioning bar, multiple workspaces, and intricate gold detail throughout.
Outside, the property boasts an infinity pool, a hot tub, two docks, a boat lift, and a covered lakeside outdoor bar. With its indoor and outdoor entertainment hubs, the home makes for the perfect summertime retreat.
Plus, four garage spaces mean that car lovers – like Bobby himself – can safely house their automobile collection. Many of the racing scenes from the film were filmed at the North Carolina Speedway, just a half hour away from this elaborate estate.
The property is listed by Kandi Lowe with RE/MAX Executive for $8,400,000 USD.
