Big cities are great for working, socializing, studying, having fun, doing business. But urban life has its hard aspects: it is stressful, it takes place in unaesthetic environments, it is sedentary and routine. These disadvantages can be overcome by means of a country house. A country house makes it possible to relieve stress thanks to the contact with nature; it makes it possible to create an attractive environment through the garden; it makes it possible to exercise beyond exercise for the sake of exercise itself; it makes it possible to deploy creativity by building the landscape and the house itself. But how to make this theory a reality? How viable is it for a middle-class family in Bogota to have a country house? What are its charms and difficulties? Is it worth having a country house in the Savannah? The book tries to answer these and other questions.
