For sale: 3 homes perfect for quiet contemplation
Sometimes the best medicine is solitude. Sure, you can find quiet contemplation in the midst of the densest block of rowhomes or condo buildings, but it's easier to find your Zen away from other people. These three homes offer enough acreage that you could get far enough away that you won't risk seeing another human being, while still being right at home. The American Dream.
