With the proper outdoor space, a natural pool in a country setting can do wonders for the soul. A backdrop of lush green trees, tasteful flowering shrubs, and dotted flowers set the stage. A sweeping lawn is an ideal setting for a more natural pool, bordered by stonework. Steps with a mini waterfall feature and stone planters are an invitation to indulge. The first stop is a sunken jacuzzi, built seamlessly into the pool design.

Stepping back, the view from the home is a geometric layout of natural variegated stone strata layering, framing the rectangular pool. Steps and coping are smooth and sophisticated. A subtle waterfall at the head of the pool serves as a focal point, and the perfect shade of teal blue water is tranquil, other than the slight rippling from the fountain. Prepare for soaking, swimming laps, floating, splashing about, and sitting with toes dipped in the water, having conversation, or solo with a favorite book in hand.

Strolling along the walkway, the understated pool and garden oasis is meant to absorb and relax on warmer days and carefree evenings. This homeowner has simplified the necessities to just two lounge chairs and two umbrellas, with plenty of room for additional seating and tables when entertaining. Such a pool area is just too inviting, for a wedding, brunch, or special occasion. Beware, neighbors and friends may want to intrude often.
