9 amazing houses hidden from prying eyes

There are times when each of us needs some time to be alone with ourselves. And we close our eyes and mentally move to a place where no one disturbs our peace, except for the sound of the surf and the rustle of leaves.

And the residents of these unusual houses do not even need to close their eyes and imagine something, they are already safely hidden from the intrusive attention of outsiders.
