The exquisite rooms at LONG BRANCH boast a superb collection of 18th and 19th century furnishings. Mr. Isaacs traveled throughout Europe and the United States to find antiques of great distinction -- dining room chairs identical to those at the White House, several major pieces attributed to the workshop of Duncan Phyfe, and rare decorative arts items dating to 200 B.C. Hand-painted wallpapers and elaborate fabrics adorn room after room, complemented by Mr. Isaacs' extensive collection of equestrian paintings and sculptures.

Mr. Isaacs also transformed the 400 acres surrounding the manor house into a working horse farm, complete with handsome stables and more than fourteen miles of board fencing. Today, a few of his champion racehorses still graze peacefully in retirement next to a tranquil pond.
