Andrew Bradley was working in the New York City area in aviation management and sales when he received a call from Dr. Gregory George regarding the purchase of a Gulfstream.

"He walked on board, walked out, came up and said, 'I'll take it,'" Bradley recalls. He didn't know it then, but roughly five years later, he would tour an estate on Maryland's Eastern Shore that George had been trying to sell for years.

"The real-estate agent is telling me about it, and I'm like 'Oh my goodness, this has got to be Dr. George,'" Bradley says. "I said, 'Tell the owner that I'll buy this farm like he bought my Gulfstream. He'll know what I mean.'"

In 2021, Bradley purchased George's sprawling estate for roughly $3 million.

Deer, duck and renovations

The property was derelict when Bradley bought it -- the buildings hadn't been lived in for years and the land had been left fallow. He spent years fixing it up, starting with a cleanup of the roughly 9,600-square-foot main home.

Bradley installed a sea wall and built a drainage system, as well as two large reservoirs. He says he's spent millions renovating the property, living there with his family as the work progressed.

The property also includes two roughly 1,500-square-foot guesthouses and a roughly 3,600-square-foot residence situated above horse stables.

George and his wife were equestrian enthusiasts, Bradley says. They built horse stables on the property and installed white fences for riding. Though Bradley and his family don't ride horses, he kept the infrastructure intact.

Can't-miss features

A building that sits above water has a three-sided bar built around a section of open flooring that allows guests to fish from a bar stool. It was originally a boat house with six boat slips. Bradley covered five of the slips and converted the sixth one into a fishing hole.

The grounds draw a variety of wildlife including ducks and turkeys.

Reason for selling?

Bradley, 56, is now the CEO of the Maryland-based aviation company, NexGen Flight Solutions. He's decided to sell this property so he can be closer to his clients and the company's headquarters, which is about an hour's drive.

Market snapshot

There are six homes on Maryland's Eastern Shore that are listed for more than $10 million, according to listing agents Sue Hudson and Doug Williams of National Land Realty. In June 2025, a roughly 800-acre estate with a roughly 6,000-square foot home sold for $13.5 million, Sue says.
