Whether you’re in the market to buy a home or have no intention of doing so in the near future whatsoever, it’s always fun to look through some impressive homes in the area. Why else would we spend hours upon hours binge-watching House Hunters marathons on HGTV? It’s entertaining to take a look at various homes, observing a myriad of styles, shapes and locations.
But we don’t expect you to look through our listings of over 500 homes, so we did a little digging around and found a few that we’re particularly wowed by. Some are downright gorgeous throughout the whole space, and several have unique or rare features that we wanted to highlight in particular. So sit back, relax, and do a virtual tour of some of our favorite Omaha area homes from the comfort of your computer or phone screen!
Woodsy Cabin With Enormous Wine Cellar
This private retreat in Council Bluffs is nestled amongst 100 wooded acres in Loess Hills alongside a gorgeous lake. This place truly provides a luxurious cabin experience, from the woodsy outdoor surroundings to the log-cabin structure of the home. We were particularly thrilled to discover an enormous wine cellar within this home, which is perfectly designed for entertaining the masses!
Indoor Pool and Spa Inside a Sanctuary in the City
As we enter this next home, we are immediately intrigued by the gorgeous exterior and grandiose entryway. But it isn’t until we see the indoor pool, atrium and spa that our jaws drop. This estate is truly a sanctuary in the city, as it is located not far from the heart of Omaha on ten acres of land.
Authentic Log Cabin with a View
If you’ve always wanted to live in a cozy log cabin, here’s your opportunity. Enjoy the comfort of three floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces, a wine cellar, an open floor plan, tall ceilings, and a suspended staircase. But our favorite parts? We love the overall log cabin style carried consistently throughout the home and the breathtaking views you have while sitting on the expansive deck or in the sunroom.
Modern Home Perfect for Entertainment
The name of the game for this modern home in Elkhorn is entertainment. The lower level includes a huge entertainment space complete with an impressive media area, a large bar and a second kitchen. Continue entertaining the masses with one of our favorite parts of this home — the outdoor patio space. Imagine roasting marshmallows around the fire pit in the fall or eating a BBQ dinner outside in the summer!
Retractable Glass Walls to Reveal Private Lake
At first glance, it’s hard to tell if the background in this home’s dining room is a realistic wall mural or a view of a private lake. Thankfully, it’s the latter! Combine the outdoor and indoor areas with the garage-door-style retractable glass walls. We appreciate the clean and well-designed finishes within this lake home, and the subtle, unique details that make it stand apart.
Brick Home in Historic Happy Hollow Neighborhood
We are drawn to this home in the historic Happy Hollow neighborhood for its undeniable curb appeal. But this Old World-style brick 2.5-story home gets even better once you peek inside! Make sure you don’t miss the new 800-bottle wine cellar on the lower level, or the copper outdoor fireplace overlooking a well-manicured backyard.
New-Construction Home with Gorgeous Walk-in Shower
There are several things to talk about while looking at this new-construction home, but we just wanted to highlight the gorgeous walk-in shower in the master bedroom. Every shower would feel like a spa-like experience in this space!
