After a month-long break, Jimmy returned to New York from the snowy mountains of the Alps, and he really felt a bit out of sorts. Having been by the sea and in the mountains for a while, suddenly being surrounded by concrete felt quite stifling, increasing Jimmy's desire to buy a villa or perhaps a small farm around New York.
He actually owns a small farm, but it's in Montana, an inheritance from his late mother. However, it was always managed by a company Tom arranged for. The key problem is the distance—it's too far. Not only is living there out of the question, even a visit takes two days.
Buying something within New York State or New Jersey would be much more convenient. Driving back to Manhattan wouldn't take too long and should be acceptable, though he needs to discuss it with Nia to see if she agrees.
