I happened upon the annual Forbes article on the most expensive homes for sale in the Northeast, and what caught my eye was one home in particular.

Greenwich, CT home for sale: $38 million

Back in my college years I worked for a landscape company for two summers. Many of the homes we went to were in affluent Fairfield County, Connecticut. Although the homes we went to were not owned by celebrities (unless you count hedge fund managers celebrities), we did work on properties very close to homes owned by such notables as Martha Stewart, Tom Cruise, and Paul Newman (or so I was told).

For small properties, I was able to use the professional lawnmowers. For large properties, I had the fortune of using the weed wacker/eater/trimmer. We dubbed this Greenwich, Connecticut home the “Castle” because of one of the stone siding and tower-looking-portions of the structure.

Guess how long it takes to trim 22 acres of property?
