Spending time outside has been proven to be beneficial for our health. Whether you live in a part of the country with year-round warmth or experience all four seasons – finding time to relax and decompress with the sun (and some SPF) on your skin is important for our well-being. And what could be better than being able to relax in the comfort of your own home?
For this blog, we’re showcasing four incredible Coldwell Banker properties across the United States that define the meaning of a backyard oasis. From swanky bars to stone fireplaces, to waterfront and nature views, these listings have it all and then some.

Remodeled from ground-up in 2012, this San Jose ranch boasts high-end finishes throughout including teak wood floors and custom cabinetry, but the real jaw-dropping feature is the private outdoor space. It’s fully equipped with a heated pool, permitted guest house (which can also serve as a cabana for the pool), fireplace and a bar with pop-up windows, fridge, sink and ice maker.
“Having a luxurious outdoor space during these uncertain times may help provide clarity. It is a nice outlet to get out of the house, breathe and unplug from technology.” – Ashley Carroll, listing agent.
