In this month’s Explore Issue, we’re spotlighting four spectacular properties that blur the line between home and high-end resort. Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, these estates are anything but ordinary—boasting jaw-dropping amenities, expansive layouts, and the kind of luxury that makes every day feel like a five-star getaway.
