Since the late 1980s, my family and I have lived in the private estate of several hundred acres with swimming pool, horses, ponds, arboretum (fruit/flower), grape vineyards, corn field, etc. It was very interesting growing up in the middle of nowhere since one cannot walk anywhere or hear the outside world. What I viewed as a countryside exclusion is now the peaceful getaway from the outside. The population of the area is less than 1000 people. However, it is very close to homes of many NJ elites, famous actors and beautiful country scenery. I cherish the memories from the mansion and still visit every few months as an adult to spend my weekends with my parents.
