country homes
Dwellings outside cities
Country homes are residences in rural areas, typically larger properties with surrounding land, as opposed to urban or suburban dwellings.
The term suggests comfortable estates used as retreats from city life: They spend weekends at their country home in Vermont.
Country homes often feature traditional architecture and pastoral settings—places for gardens, horses, or simply quiet.
