Asking price for Md. estate: $30 million
In the market for a 6,250-acre estate? A hedge-fund founder has listed his -- in Cambridge on the Eastern Shore -- for $30 million.
The Wall Street Journal reports that owner Paul Tudor Jones (net worth: $3.2 billion) has used the property as a hunting retreat.
The house is a 14,000 square feet "lodge," with 11 bedrooms, 10-and-a-half bathrooms, several fireplaces and amenities ranging from a home theater to an indoor basketball court. The property also has a barn, stables and a "private lake," according to the Sotheby's listing. (The site helpfully lets you convert the asking price into anything from Aruban florins to Turkish liras.)
The guest living room has trees -- presumably not live -- along the walls, branches stretching up to the ceiling.
I don't normally blog about homes for sale, but then I don't normally see homes for sale with a $30 million asking price. And interior trees.

Self-made billionaire is cool... but who really needs or really wants that much?

seems like the perfect setup for NV homes and DRHorton to put up 25,000+ plastic McMansions on quarter acre lots!

He should thank the US Taxpayer for bailing him out.

OMG! This place is hideous! Some simpleton's idea of a fantasy lodge that really needs to be torn down. The ideal buyer would do just that and restore the land. What pigs these "get-rich-quick" nouveau riche adolescents are.

Paul Tudor Jones also got into a ton of legal trouble for filling in a lot of the wetlands on the property. He should restore the property before he sells it.

I have a farm on that same road - right across the street. Never would've guessed he'd sell - let alone for $30 million.

Re: John
Do more research before you start making accusations. Paul Tudor Jones did not have anything to do with the bailouts. He is a hedge fund manager, not an investment banker. He buys and sells stocks, bonds, commodities, etc. Other than the fact that he works on "Wall Street," the bailouts were completely unrelated to his business.
