Country Dream Homes
The enduring popularity of TV shows such as Country House Hunters and Escape to the Country, coupled with classic glossy magazines such as Country Style and Country Living attest to the dream many of us have of owning a rural property.
Space to breathe and tranquil vistas are often the two major drivers for tempted tree-changers seeking to escape the confines of urban living. And there is no need to forgo style and luxury with a growing cohort of country home renovation influencers inspiring serious home envy with their online offerings tagged ‘farmhouse chic’, ‘country glam’ and ‘rustic luxe’.
Winter is the perfect time to seek your country house escape. Think roaring open fires, cooking up a storm in a farmhouse kitchen, snow drifts on distant hills, and rugging up for a brisk walk along peaceful bush tracks.
RT Edgar currently has some stunning country and coastal retreats listed for sale.
