Think floor-to-ceiling glass, minimalist interiors wrapped in reclaimed wood, and kitchens where a cast-iron skillet shares counter space with a built-in espresso machine. These homes are not about nostalgia – they’re about balance. Modern country houses are a fresh expression of rural charm, reimagined for people who want wide-open skies and smart home lighting.
