Homes on Acreage in Camas WA - A Lifestyle that's Good for You

Homes with Nature As Neighbors in Camas

Homes on a bit of land not only give you more privacy, they often provide a connection to the harmony of nature. It's an important connection that calms our brains and soothes our souls. Many of these acreage-homes in Camas have excellent views of the Cascade Mountains, Mt. Hood, the Columbia River, and Portland city lights.

Living with Nature is Beneficial

When we get closer to nature, in the deep wilderness, or sitting under a backyard tree, our overstressed brains can take a breather. Scientist David Strayer specializes in research aimed at how nature affects our brains and bodies. He claims nature does indeed have healing powers. Research in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a substantial impact on stress and anxiety.

Perhaps that's why we also gave up our more urban lifestyle and moved to an acreage home above Camas/Washougal. It's been nearly a year in our new setting - and our multi-generational family members can all attest to the beneficial aspects of living with Nature As Neighbors.™

Being close to nature does something to us that makes us relax just a bit more and appreciate the world around us.  It may not be for everyone, but for me it is paradise.

Many buyers like the idea of having space around them. I have to be able to look out my back door and see no neighbors. It gives me that acreage feel.

Having acreage these days is quite a luxury!  I see them building new homes these days and the lot is so darn small.  I wish they wouldn't do that, but people buy them and they make more money that way.

Debb and Bernie,

WE agree on health and well being as part of the open air and elbow room as far as lifestyle is concerned.  Interestingly enough, our health insurance rate was lower when we lived in Napa and here as compared to Los Angeles..less stress. A

Hi Debb - this story describes the home and lifestyle I've always dreamed of. You weave together words and photographs like an artist and I sit back in awe and get inspired. 

The way you market a home or sell an area is creative and good reading too.

Debb, yes you can attest to living with the nature that hugs you every morning upon waking up--what a "wake-up" call! Certainly it evokes a calmness by connecting with other living beings in a more natural setting. After all, plants produce the very oxygen we need to breathe and breathe DEEPLY! You and I already share that secret of life.
