The Tony Stewart house is Hidden Hollow Ranch, a log-built lodge of nearly 20,000 square feet on 415 fenced acres of woodland west of Columbus, Indiana, the town where he grew up. The three-time NASCAR Cup champion bought the land in 2004, finished the house in 2011, and has been trying to sell it since March 2022. The asking price has fallen from $30 million, then the priciest listing in Indiana, to $18.9 million in August 2026.

Where the Ranch Is
Hidden Hollow sits in the countryside of Bartholomew County, a short drive west of Columbus, about an hour south of Indianapolis. An eight-foot fence runs around the whole 415 acres, and its zoning allows both a hunting preserve and a bed-and-breakfast. Stewart was born and raised in Columbus, and the ranch let him live a few minutes from the town that made him while keeping well away from the racing world. Its street address appears in listing coverage, but this guide leaves it out.
Inside the Tony Stewart House
The main lodge is built of pine shipped in from the northern Rocky Mountains, with fireplaces of Indiana bedrock and light fixtures sourced from Utah and Alaska. It has six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and three half baths. The great room carries most of the drama: an 8,700-gallon freshwater aquarium, an indoor waterfall, and a stream that runs through the room under a wooden bridge.

The Land: A Lake and a Hunting Preserve
For an outdoorsman who has always preferred dirt tracks to country clubs, the land matters more than the house. A nine-acre lake behind the lodge is stocked with trophy bass. The rest of the property is a state-licensed hunting preserve, which the 2026 listing says holds around 300 deer, 15 elk and wild turkey, with trails through the woods and meadows. Stewart summed up the place when he first listed it: he and his family had “enjoyed every square inch of the land here,” and it had become his place to get away with family and friends.

Why the Ranch Has Been Hard to Sell
The 2022 listing did not say why he was selling. Later coverage reported that he was spending only two or three nights a month at the ranch. His life had moved on: he married drag racer Leah Pruett in 2021, launched an NHRA team with her that operates from a 25,000-square-foot shop in Brownsburg, northwest of Indianapolis, and closed Stewart-Haas Racing at the end of 2024. He still owns Eldora Speedway in Ohio, which he bought in 2004.
The buyer pool for a house like this is tiny. Few people want a 20,000-square-foot lodge, a managed elk herd and a fish tank big enough to need divers, all in rural Indiana. Four years and four prices later, that is the clearest lesson of the listing. Athletes who build around their own hobbies often find the same thing; Brett Favre’s Mississippi estate is another rural property shaped around one owner’s life outside the sport.
