This listing is serious vacation-home material. What could be more relaxation-friendly than a home wired so you can regulate the pool’s temperature and lighting with the touch of a button, come and go by merely scanning your fingerprint, and let the cameras and motion sensors keep watch while you lounge poolside?

Siri, meet your (much bigger) match: From a biometric-accessible Brazilian villa to a Croatian home you can manage from your tablet, these high-tech homes are wired to make your life easier. You wish you lived here. Every tech perk in the home prioritizes function over flashiness. Case in point: a salt-less water-softening system, an alkaline deionizer drinking system, a single-ply green-roof system, folding plate-glass panoramic doors, and a steam/sauna aromatherapy-shower system with massage jets and music (okay, so maybe a little of it is for show).

It may be in the midst of serene wooded acres, a pond, a creek, and 167 feet of white-sand shoreline, but the home is hardwired for maximum security: a motion- and glass-break-sensing alarm system, perimeter cameras, and systems set up to let you monitor and control what goes on even while you’re not at home. Not-so-scary extras include custom lighting and 18 high-def TVs with surround sound.

Views of the Adriatic Sea and the Alps are so much sweeter from this high-tech home: a transparent glass that, when you flip on a projector, becomes a high-definition viewing screen, and LED lighting, curtains, audio, video, and a surveillance system that all answer to your iPad.
