Former Northrop Grumman CEO’s mansion sells for $9.95M

Former Northrop Grumman Chairman and CEO Wes Bush and his wife, Natalie, sold their McLean mansion June 28 for $9.95 million, according to Fairfax County records.

Steven A. Sigsbury, an attorney with the Cochran Law Group in Tysons, is listed as the buyer of 903 Turkey Run Road and Baldy’s Bait and Tackle Trust is listed as a co-owner. Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who represented the buyer, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Marianne Prendergast of Washington Fine Properties represented the Bushes in the sale. She declined to name the buyer of the property. The Bushes, she said Monday, are moving “to the Virginia countryside.”

The six-bedroom home on Turkey Run Road, which has 12,000 square feet of living space, was listed for sale Feb. 1 for $10.5 million. In 2010, the property was purchased by the Golden Paws Trust, a fund associated with the Bushes, according to Prendergast. The home was constructed on the property in 2011 by Harrison Design, a high-end residential architecture, interior design and landscape architecture firm with an office in Washington, D.C.

The home boasts a billiard room, a wood-paneled elevator, a pool and a 1,200-bottle, temperature-controlled wine cellar with adjoining tasting room.

Bush served as CEO of the Falls Church defense contractor from 2010 to 2018 and as chair from 2011 to 2019. He sits on the boards of General Motors, Cisco Systems and Dow, as well as MIT Corp., Conservation International and American University. In April, The New York Times speculated Bush could be a contender to become the new CEO of aerospace and defense contractor Boeing, which is headquartered in Arlington County. Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun has announced he intends to step down by the end of the year, amid ongoing bad press over production and safety problems, including a high-profile January incident in which a wall panel blew out of a Boeing 737 Max 9 jet cabin in mid-air.
