i worked at a place that used to be this, i'm almost certain. imagine ~2000 acres secluded property in a beautiful part of the Ohio River Valley, incredible rolling hills and scattered little 1-2br houses along walkable dirt paths with views, little 10-20 min hikes through grasslands and wooded fragments to see waterfalls and the like. there was a central building complex with like a lecture hall and compartmentalized classrooms for group therapy. i was always told is used to be a "retreat/clinic" back in the 60s/70s.
the family that owned it was bananatown crazy rich and very connected to regional capital formations, including heathcare provisioning and insurance.
you could drive right by it and never know it was there, everything was deeply set back into the property, like an estate almost except no downton abbey ass house looming.
