I am a new Dm ( 6 months) currently since last I played in 2nd edition and ad&d. I am interested in the Ravenloft setting but not the stuck in another dimension part of the Curse of Strahd. I am asking for other Dm's advice on how they would accomplish this? Maybe if I get several examples I can wrap my head around some story hooks for my adventurers.
Depends how remote you want to get. You could always throw Borovia on an island (maybe Ruathym, north of the moonshae), or one of the many eastern locations (Halruaa maybe, could be made very isolated given the mountain ranges completely circling it) in Faerun that haven't been touched upon in much detail since 3rd edition.
I will admit that I dont know much about Ravenloft adventures and all, but its pretty easy just to go over current content (like the big cities and smaller well known towns) but then change everything else to fit what you need. Read up on the different 'hooks' you have for ravenloft, and figure out how your going to change to overreaching idea of Ravenloft with FG. Our current campaigns is all modules in one at same time. One GM is ruining dragonlance style missions and such, but in FG while also dealing with our other games all at same time. Instead of having dragonborn as the big bag guys of the world (since they were already here) we changed the BBrace to that of the Verdan since they are new. The GM is doing whatever he wants with them for the Hord of the Dragon Queen an Rise of Tiamat. One of our other groups was doing the Starter Set group, and that ended, so those PC's are now controlling a zone between Waterdeep and Neverwinter.

Thanks in advance.
