To celebrate the near-end of summer, we’ve rounded up the best properties out West with our favorite options for chlorinated cool-downs.
Riding horseback, hiking the trails, putting up fences, or merely opening the back door—in the summer, these are all sound precursors for cannon-balling into a refreshing swimming hole. Some are indoor, some come with saunas, and some let you float under the magnificent gaze of our country's most majestic mountain ranges. For ranch properties, an above-ground tank could do the job. But why settle for that when you could be dipping your toes in one of these?
