Water. While it is essential to life, it is wonderfully restorative to the mind, body, and soul. Listening to the sound of rain on a rooftop, waves lapping the shore, or the bubbling of a fountain are all ways we enjoy the soothing sounds of water. There is a deep sense of peace when sitting by a water body and staring at reflections that we can't find anywhere else. It begs us to ask, why don't we all have a water feature of some kind at our homes? Here are 6 stunning properties with water features, from fountains to ponds, ready for you to enjoy.
