I can only see the nearest neighbor if I look out two windows on that side of the house on the 2nd floor.

200 acre boy scout camp across the street and a couple thousand acres of state forest behind that. Running water/waterfall on the property. Backs up to a large pond, although the pond frontage is conservation land so no building a dock and walkway to the dock. But it cuts my property tax bill in half.

5 miles from downtown Denville which is basically Mayberry with better delis. 6 miles to the train station. 1 hour to NY Penn on the train but I normally drive vs NJ transit to Penn, LIRR to Jamaica and then Airtrain to JFK.

Another 10 minutes down the road to basically any shopping I need to do. That was a problem for my wife in some of the more rural places we lived when I was doing oilfield stuff. 90 minutes one way to the nearest Walmart/Target/non IGA grocery store gets old.

The only "wanted but didn't get" was room to build a motocross track on the property. Technically have the acreage but the terrain isn't conducive to mx. Hard Enduro or trials it's great for.
