Today's property Tudor Farms on Maryland's Eastern Shore is an expansive hunting and equestrian property. The property is 6,250 acres and managed to encourage the widest possible variety of native wildlife (listing pics show fish, geese in flight and other wildlife). As the Wall Street Journal reported, this home belongs to Paul Tudor Jones, the billionaire head of Tudor Investment Corp., and he hopes the buyer of the property will continue his conservation efforts.

The main house has 10 bedrooms. Listing pictures show a main property on a pond. The property has an equestrian center with stables and there is also an indoor sports court. The unique circular dining room has a panoramic hunting mural. The home's Western style decor includes the use of logs with branches attached that form natural arches in both a billiard room and a study. This home is listed at $30 million.

Definitely has that hotel/resort feel.

Amazingly, it works. I wouldn't want to live there, but it'd be great for entertaining large groups.

I think there is enough value in the land alone (especially if you get a below asking price offer accepted), that it would be worth tearing down and building a nice house.

Yawn, it really does feel like a resort, not someone's home. Thanks but not thanks, not at that (worthy of 2006) price-point.

Yet another listing that's 100% overpriced, just like Pat Kluge's pad in Charlottesville which was recently reduced from $100 mil to $50, and, coincidentally enough, is also being marketed by the same r.e. agent as this one...........

The grounds are beautiful and very valuable to keep as conservation, but you can tell it was built by a man, for men. I think it definately needs a woman's touch.

Obscene! Send it to Hatti..they need housing badly.

Stan Nov 9th 2010 8:20AM

Fine. And how many would lose their jobs with that suggestion? This place does not do self maintenance!

Definitely has that GOP TARP touch

The price is over the top and property has to much of a commercial feel to it. Great for therapy or week getaway

What a beautiful priceless piece of art real estate. This is what you can achieve when all the pieces fall into place, and of course a little luck. From what I can see from the comments before mine is that most the reader's or sight see'ers are clueless to the enviroment and the beauty of the being in the outdoors. I don't say that as a cut down or being dis-respectful to anyone but some folks can't see the forest because of the trees. The tudor family knew exactly what they were doing when they built this one of a kind home. I'm defineately in awe and salute the family and hope the next buyer keeps the land pristine as the first owner.

It is as if one of the trendy-but-passe executive ranch properties from Montana was dropped into the Eastern Shore. Despite being able to house dozens of guests at a time these homes are never outwardly stated as what they are: quasi-hotels.

Further this offering continues an odd theme whereby they appear as if human is to be found (or ever has been) on the property, never a horse has even stood in a stall, or anyone has spent but 5 minutes in the public library-like ground floor rooms.

I'm glad their are conservation efforts in place although that isn't quite the same as saying, for example, its under an easement with Ducks Unlimited.

Oh! if I could afford this it would be heaven for me, I would keep all the land the way it is, with all the wild life, i would make it a wildlife reserve and only shoot with my camera.

Ruxana Nov 9th 2010 1:31PM

Oh! if I could afford this, it would be heaven for me and the wildlife that surrounds it, a dream come true. I would keep all the land and wildlife as it is. make it a wildlife reserve, and shoot with my camera only. To the interior I would add some of my photography, sculpture and paintings.

I am absolutely in love with this place. If I could only buy it and live there it would be like living in heaven. Although when reality sets in for the work I would definitely need lots of hired help. Dream, dream and dream, but isn't there a saying that says dream big. Well this is mine and I hope I hit the lottery.
