German term or phrase: in traumhafter Lage
"In traumhafter Lage" ist die Überschrift, darunter wird die Umgebung bildhaft beschrieben. Was sagen die Muttersprachler in der englischen Sprache? Ich selbst habe zwar eine Idee, bin mir jedoch nicht so sicher.

In traumhafter Lage
in an idyllic setting


Explanation:
Everything so far is really quite appropriate. I offer this as one more. Much depends on the hype factor involved in the original context. Is this advertising over-the-top as in "traumhaft pur" or more grounded?

The tone of my suggestion is definitely calmer, maybe even poetic, but won't make among the real estate sellers I know!

TYPO! should be "but won't make it among the real estate sellers I know!

Example sentence(s):
  • The house is in an idyllic setting, just outside Vail, CO, with a stream at the bottom of the rear garden.
