There's no better way to escape the pressures of modern life than by taking to the water in search of a greater connection with Mother Nature. Surrounded by gently lapping waves and unrivaled scenery, these clever floating properties have been designed with a slower pace of living in mind.

From a floating treehouse in France to an off-shore luxury apartment, these innovative buoyant buildings show that you don't need terra firma to create a unique place to live.
