Tired of big city noise and bustle? Then a laid-back stretch in a country home with a view is just the escape you need. 

From silent wintry nights to foggy forest mornings, check out this list of scenic, big and small abodes. All of them offer tranquil, pastoral landscapes, some suburban, others rural; some eclectic and modern; others classically traditional. The first up is a sturdy and secluded ranch in the USA, crafted with, and surrounded by, quality country woods.

Relax around the ranch

Designed by UPTIC Studios, in Spokane, Washington, this ranch is set between forest-covered mountains of evergreen trees, so you have privacy and a lush, green view year round. 

In early mornings, the fog lightly sweeps through the trees and shades the sun. At night, away from the light polluted city, the stars are clear. The wooden ranch house itself is a sprawling, beautiful throwback of its natural surroundings.

The lush lakeside view

Who hasn't fantasised about having one's own private lake? This cosy home by Backraum Architecture, located in Austria, is perfectly placed with lakeside and mountain views, so that nature's superabundance really stands out. 

The house itself features skylights, a large deck, and large, flat glass windows for panoramic views from the inside.

The mountain view

While you can rest assured that the snow is not always around, the stunning, jagged mountain peaks are here to stay, and sit directly in the eyeline of this offbeat mountain abode by Aberjung Design Agency, located in Granz, Austria. 

The home's design reflects the irregular shapes of the mountain's tops.

The distinctive desert view

No list of spectacular scenery is complete without the off-this-world vibe provided by the desert view. 

This famously uncommon hut in Palm Desert, California, designed by Royale Projects: Contemporary Art, reflects the endless desert brush in its mirrored panels, windows, and doors – providing a most impressive perspective on nature. 

Peruvian majesty

Nestled in between the ragged, rolling mountain-hills outside Lima, Peru, this house by Marina Vella Architecture is made of stone and rock.

Set in a deep green valley, one feels cosy and protected by the giant slopes all around – it's pastoral perfection. 

The modern English country outlook

Classic English country scenes of sheep, ancient rock-stone walls, and little roads inspire restful wellbeing. 

Here, all is combined with the smart, contemporary design of Patrick Bradley Architects Modern – an update on the traditional English country estate, located in the United Kingdom, encircled by soothing English country sights.

Designed for green views

This house by Aliwen Architecture and Sustainable Construction was specially designed for both sustainability and for taking in the breathtaking energy of the tough Chilean country hills – from virtually every room in the house. 

Just outside Santiago, lush greens carpet the valley where the house is set, and lead to the surrounding wild foothills.

Traditional charm

Don't be fooled – this house has windows lining the whole front, so you can look out at on your own private Polish forest. 

Secluded from the bustle of nearby Warsaw, this cottage is serene supreme, designed by AA S.C. Anatol Kuczynski and Anna Kuczynska as a traditional Polish country cottage with serious rural charm.

The big sky view

With this house, you get your gorgeous countryside sights whether you are inside or outside. 

Another eclectic design by Peter Pichler Architecture uses mirrored siding totally, reflecting the soft Italian hills around, and the big unlimited sky above. Pichler tops off the vision with a long, deep blue pool stretched out toward the hills.

Chinese tropics

This ultra-modern Chinese design by Original Vision rests on a pad of emerald green foliage, on a rocky cliff, overlooking an ocean front of pristine, translucent blue water. 

With a view of the water at front, you get a view of the twisted hill behind as you sit sequestered in a tropical back garden.
