Living in the countryside: well-being for the mind and body

Now, more than ever, escaping from the city to retreat in magnificent country homes, not only gives us a chance to distance ourselves from the urban chaos but also offers us an opportunity to enjoy leisure time, reconnect with Nature so dear to us, and reflect over many existential thoughts.

A beautiful green landscape, an expanse of trees, are elements that, in front of our eyes, directly impact our emotions and numerous studies have demonstrated that they can reduce or even erase negative thoughts burdening our mind. Yes, indeed, admiring a field in the country at times has a healing effect, then why not retreat to the countryside right away, in a historical moment like now, when social distancing has become the primary element to guarantee the right to health for everyone?

Living in the countryside: guaranteed psychological and physical well-being

Even though many people may consider it like a chimera, country life can truly make a difference to our health, living surrounded by greenery, where the sky is of a deeper blue, has numerous advantages and that’s the reason why the new projects for residential areas inside the big cities is trending towards green and eco-friendly sustainable solutions. But the process is slow, it has just started, and it will need time for the first advantages at a psychological, physical and architectural level with a naturalistic matrix to come to fruition. 

The purpose of this process is to eliminate the expanses of unending concrete in order to create residential areas authentically remindful of the forest, that combine the environment with human presence and pursue a 360-degree sustainable planning. Meanwhile though, in order to benefit from what Nature offers us, we can indeed escape to the countryside!

What does the Countryside represent for the human being

Choosing to live in the magnificent rural places found all over our whole national territory and, particularly, in our beautiful Marche, rhymes with primordiality. It’s a synonym for discovery, a rediscovering of the origins that makes us feel alive more and more, closer to Nature, and more human.

To nestle far from the city is the best way to acknowledge every day, with gratitude, all the stunning marvels that surround us, the perfect way to detach ourselves from a vision of life that becomes all the more screened every day, and rediscover in the small things, like a meadow, a flower, a ploughed field, the woods, all the benefits that a “green” life has to offer.

What to do in the Countryside

It may sound like a cliché but a stroll in  bucolic and relaxing environs, immersed in the silence of a forest surrounded by greenery is the ideal to enjoy the country to the fullest. The green changes shade with every season, as if to share with us the emotions of the land. A walk in the Countryside, kissed by a peaceful wind that possibly is the perfect  solution to escape the unending problems of a city.

There are many activities to do on the side: try some gardening, even just the basics, with small pants or flowers, set up a nicely furnished relaxation corner to sunbathe outside your home or the enjoy clean air for breakfast, lunch or have an open-air dinner for a sun – or moon – bath! – far from annoying sounds. 

Therefore, choosing one of the country homes available in the Marche Country Homes catalogue has many advantages, because now more than ever the concept of space and its perception has acquired a new value, made of open air, width and re-connecting with the environment.
