More house for your money than over here generally speaking, but apparently $30k per year in property taxes.

As the article states, it is waaaay over priced. The property taxes of $34k/yr indicates it’s been assessed by the town around $1.2M. North Caldwell is known for these huge houses so there’s no shortage. And in fact, this one is small. We looked at a 9,000 square foot house there.
The area has has a few issues though. First, the schools are not 10 out of 10. Second it’s a little too far/inconvenient to commute to New York. And finally, those taxes. Essex county is the highest taxed county in the highest taxed state. I used to live in the town with the highest taxe rate in Essex county. I moved 5 miles down the road and dropped my tax rate to less than half of my previous house.

Very heavily edited commute in the opening credits of the show I gather. The area has has a few issues though. First, the schools are not 10 out of 10.

That's crazy, over $30k in annual taxes for a valuation of $1.2m. I'll stop complaining about paying £2k/yr this side of the Atlantic to have my bins taken once a fortnight.
Our “trash” is taken twice a week. However, unusually for America, it is not covered by our taxes. We pay by the bin bag. Our recycling is free. The town got fined last year because everyone recycled everything.
The opening credits of the Sopranos are not terrible. Ok, some stuff isn’t actually on route but most of it will get you to the area. You would end up at my old house and not Tony’s though.

If you mean it's got pelmets, then yes, but otherwise, it's not so bad.The coving, the carpets, the general decor. I think it's a car crash.

Yes, but it's just decoration. The coving, the carpets, the general decor. I think it's a car crash.
Talking of potentially ruinously expensive (and yet what a huge amount you get for your money).

Keighley, West Yorks.
13 bedroom arts and crafts tower manor house. (Grade II house and also EH listed gardens)
Coach house, Out house, Detached bungalow to live in while you are renovating it all
7 acres
If you knew what you were doing, you could probably make your money back on one of the smaller houses alone.
Asking price £899k, and they are currently entertaining an offer of £700k. There must be a story there.
It looks VERY Agatha Christie / Sherlock Holmes / Lord Peter Wimsey. To the extent that the info says:

We have been advised of the following:
Now, I sort of assume that a 13 bedroom house that is over 120 years old will have had at least one person breathe their last in it. It does make me wonder if it was remarkable in some way.- A previous occupier has died at the property. Please contact the office to discuss this further.
