What’s ruling the roost this week, according to all of your clicks, are properties with a lot of land. It seems people are just about ready for a permanent vacation! From the Massachusetts Berkshires to California’s Ventura County, these popular properties offer plenty of peace—and social distancing from neighbors—away from the big city.
At the very top is a tony 5,300-square-foot home in the town of Roxbury, CT. It once served as a dairy and, after a renovation, its sleek style could now grace the pages of any architectural magazine.
Even the sole big-city property on the list, in Brooklyn, NY, boasts an unconventional amount of space at 2,000 square feet, plus an attached garage in an area where parking is slim to nonexistent.
Scroll down to see all the properties that are inspiring people to get away from it all.
