But somehow I get the feeling you want a couple of acres within 45 mins to NYC for $425k.

This is true. There are people who have property and keep horses in Upper Saddle River.

I'm going up soon to check it out so please give me any info you can.

Thanks

During rush hour? Doesn't exist.

60 to 90 during rush hour and maybe 45 other times? If you're able to spend 7 figures on a house look into northwest Bergen county and the surrounding areas.

There are two properties that came up in NEPA, about 15 min. to the border. One is 500K the other 299K Of course the more costly one is looking the best online. I sent you over the two by email.
I can't see a farm in NJ going for those figures.

Would you mind telling us what town in NEPA is less than an hour commute to NYC?

You might look in Rockland County in NY. I don't think you'll find wide open pastures, but definitely a more bucolic feel than closer in NJ.

Some areas are pretty ethnically homogeneous, but you could ask a realtor to steer you to the right towns.

Yeah without that, we really don't have much to go on. Do you plan on taking public transportation to the city or driving? Do you work there or just want to be somewhat close?

OP hasn't been back, and he or she posted the same question in the general New York forum. I suspect he or she might have been a little shocked to learn how far suburban sprawl extends outside the city.

I'd like to rent something with a backyard and thats not ghetto like paterson eventually buy land. Orange county looks like the place to be with trains to the city and what not
