Some homes rely on lush landscaping to strike their guests with awe before they even reach the front door, while others take a more subtle, understated approach, allowing the immense, glass-filled architecture to take center stage.
Look for water features such as streams and fountains that run along a walkway. Watch for thick privacy trees or tall gates.
Most of all, enjoy the variety of styles, from modern to craftsman, in different sizes, and with different functions. Some of these homes are built for entertaining, while others aim for privacy and comfort. Still others are destination vacation homes perched on cliffs far away from civilization.
We hope that you will enjoy each and every home featured within this gallery.
