Home buyers and real estate investors often have a list of non-negotiables when it comes to property features and amenities. For some, it may be a gourmet chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and plenty of room for cooking. For others, a home fitness studio is a necessity and the very first feature on the list. And then there are those who value the surrounding landscape and the views a home may provide. If you find yourself in that last category, we’ve rounded up five stellar properties that boast breathtaking views.
