Natures Retreat. The noun retreat means a place you can go to be alone, to get away from it all. Often, we take a vacation to get away from it all, but what if you lived away from it all? What if your home was your retreat? A place that offered you proximity to nature and its healing touch; and being close to nature has shown to reduce the production of cortisol our primary stress hormone. A place that provided you clean air, calm surroundings, and your favorite animals. Interacting with animals has also been shown to decrease levels of cortisol and lower blood pressure. Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood. Come to 10663 Cool Springs Road and find your retreat, your personal nirvana. 52+ private acres, created by nature and designed by man for your comfort and that of your animals.
