50 Haute Hillside Havens

From Panoramic View Lairs to $32M Hilltop Abodes

— July 6, 2012 — Art & Design
These haute hillside havens will let you live in seclusion and overlook spectacular scenery. Life doesn't get much better than living on the side of a hill suspended above the main land with a panoramic view of the surrounding cities, coast lines and forests.

These magical dwellings include eco-friendly homes, $32 million homes, contemporary barns, stilted cabins and stacked geometric homes. The steep slopes that the houses rest upon make it difficult for many other structures to be built in the same areas. This allows for an unobstructred view of the exterior, so if you love hilltop havens these beautiful structures are a must-see.

Take a break from urban living and embrace the breathtaking views of the hilltop havens.
