Petty also shared pictures of the decorated Christmas trees and other exhibits inside the house and a family photo outside. The estate was built by George Washington Vanderbilt II in the late 1880s and covers over 8000 acres.

On the racing front, Burton recently ended his three-year NASCAR Cup Series run with Wood Brothers Racing. He finished the season with one win at Daytona and 16th place in the final standings.

Next season, the 24-year-old will race AM Racing's No. 15 Ford Mustang in the Xfinity Series, where he has four wins in 75 starts over three years. He debuted in the series with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2019.

Jenna Petty recently took a trip to New York with Harrison Burton and shared pictures from the city. The couple also visited the spot in front of the Gapstow Bridge where they got engaged in March.

"Loved every new york minute," Petty wrote on Instagram.

In a Q&A session on Instagram earlier this month, Petty talked about her wedding plans and shared that they attended the same high school.

"We have loved planning a wedding—combining all our favorite things," Petty wrote.

"We grew up going to the same school but never knew each other. We first talked on a double date, that we didn't go on for each other (lol), but ended up falling for one another & have been inseparable ever since I was 15 and he was 16," she responded.

Burton, who is the son of former NASCAR driver Jeff Burton, made his Cup Series debut in 2021. He won his first Cup Series race and Wood Brothers Racing's 100th race at Daytona in August this year.

Burton is also the first driver born in the 2000s to win races in the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series.
