Looking to escape from the city to your own private sanctuary this summer? There are many different concepts of sanctuary, but your home or summer retreat should be one of them. In the current environment, it is more important than ever to have a house with plenty of space inside and out for peaceful reflection or quality time with family and friends. With beautiful settings, exceptional views, comfortable interiors and access to activities, we think these homes make excellent sanctuaries.
