Governor Phil Murphy buys an Italianate estate in New Jersey for $7.3 million with 3 homes and stables.

The cozy life: the Italian estate that New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy bought for $7.3 million includes three homes, a stable and a tennis court where he spends summer vacations with his family.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy bought an estate in Italy back in 2004 with money earned at Goldman Sachs. Now on his 10-day vacation, the 60-year-old governor is living on the estate with his family, something officials have refused to disclose.

The DailyMail.com editorial team was able to locate the estate and provide the first photos of the property. The development includes several houses including a 23-room house, stables, tennis court and swimming pool. The estate is located near the town of Parrano in the Umbria region of Italy.

The owner paid for the estate with his own money, but the governor and his security family on the property will be provided with taxpayer funds. Vacations at this level are not cheap, but will likely cost the state much less than previous Governor Chris Christie, who also went on a similar vacation. Note that Murphy's vacation didn't cause as much of an uproar as Christie's state beach vacation last summer, even though Christie closed all state parks and beaches because of the government shutdown.

Murphy was able to afford the property because of his job at Goldman Sachs, where he worked for more than two decades before becoming governor. He defeated Republican Kim Guadano in the election despite the fact that she was the deputy governor of the previous administration.

In addition to real estate in Italy, he also has a luxury home in Berlin, Germany, where he served as ambassador under President Obama. The news has already become the most read.
