Dive right in!
Apart from the obvious benefit of endless fun- days filled with swimming, fishing, boating, and paddle boarding- living on the water has massive health benefits too.
A number of studies conducted recently show that merely gazing at water resulted in lower heart rates, reduced blood pressure and an improvement in mood.
Marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols once said that humans have a “blue mind” when around water, by which we enter “a mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment.”
So, if you’re feeling like you need a bit more Zen in your life, take a peek at our top five waterfront properties; an oceanfront, one on closed waters, and even one on an island- how cool is that?!
Ranging in price from $495,00 to a cool $4 million, there is something for every budget. Added bonus- holidaying at home never looked so good!
