Summer job - 1986
I did landscaping here for the summer 21 years ago: http://crockermansion.com/ and it has been restored and is for sale for a mere $25 million! http://www.forbes.com/realestate/2005/10/31/luxury-mansion-newjersey-cx_sc_1031how_ls.html
Sadly tho, the original 1000 acres, which had been whittled down when I worked there to probably 200 acres, is down to 12.5 acres and the surrounding area is now dotted with McMansions. Even if I had the money to buy the place, the proximity of all those hideous little places would really put me off. I guess I would have to buy the near ones up and knock them down, clear the peasants from their cottages in the fine old tradition of great estate owners!
