Bruce Springsteen has sold a vine-covered mansion on a 7.4-hectare estate in Monmouth County, New Jersey, for a reported $4.2 million.

The 1917-built home is surrounded by manicured lawns, established trees and gardens, and features a pool and guesthouse.

The property, which has rarely been lived in, has been bought by a New York investment manager.

Springsteen, who grew up in New Jersey, did not list the property publicly for sale. He bought the property in 1983 for an undisclosed amount.

Springsteen still lives in New Jersey, on a horse farm in Colts Neck, with his wife, Patti Scialfa.

Springsteen's songs were often about working class lives in New Jersey. Presumably, very different lives that those lived by the occupants of this 6,000-square-foot home.
