Some think that modern society's biggest problem is our separation from nature and the only way to really be happy is to reconnect and become in tune with our surroundings. I know I definitely feel better when I'm out on a hike or a bike ride than when I'm sitting here behind the comp. If the weekend trips just aren't doing it for you, maybe you should consider following in Thoreau's footsteps and retreat to nature. Here are 14 amazing house designs that can help you reconnect with your environment... and don't worry there's a little something for everyone from billionaires to... well, the homeless.

    These are so great! I want to live in the one in Cavallo, it’s so beautiful. Mediterranean style is definitely one of the most desirable – where’s the realtor for these places?.

    I’m pretty sure the top photo is actually an art installation from New Harmony, Indiana. Unfortunately, it burned to the ground about a year or two ago. I don’t have the artist’s name, but I could get for you if you wish.

    Thanks for including Falling Water. It’s nice to be reminded that being green isn’t a new idea!
