The personality of our homes doesn’t stop at the front door. Instead, the first impression begins before you even step inside. We cultivate an outdoor space that fits our lifestyle, our taste and our location–whether that includes a stone terrace to take in a beautiful view or a lush Mediterranean garden that thrives in a warm climate. In the May edition of Coldwell Banker Previews® Inside Out, we highlight 7 magnificent estates in “Green with Envy: The Gardens of Previews” with show-stopping garden spaces.

We spend plenty of time and treasure decorating the insides of our homes, and it is no different for the outdoors. Certainly no expense was spared creating a space that is just as beautiful outside as these homes are inside. After all, we’re all kings of our castles, so shouldn’t we rule the garden as well? With olive orchards, fairway greens, and pristine pools, these backyard oases have something for everyone.
