Your third home...

**Rain Man** · 05-10-2006, 10:08 AM

If you were quite rich and didn't have to work, and could have three homes in the continental United States, where would they be?

If you could have three homes in the world (which can still include the U.S.), where would they be?

In the continental U.S., I'd go with a place in Manhattan, New York, a place in Vail, Colorado, and a place in Laguna Beach, California.

Worldwide, I'd still want a U.S. base, and I would probably make it Vail, Colorado. Then I'd have a place in the Marquesas, Tahiti, and a place in Paris, France.

One in KC - 5 kids and (currently) 4 grandkids require me to be close by.

One on a Carribean beach.

One at the lake of the Ozarks. (Actually we already have a place, but I'd build a bigger, nicer one.)

I'm going with:
A HUGE custom built Log Cabin in Manistique, Michigan

A nice Antebellum Home in Southern Louisiana, probably New Orleans or an outlying town

Finally, I would have to build on Paradise Island on Nassau, Bahamas

Manistique is in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. I lived up there for a while in the 90s, during my 1st marriage. It's so beautiful, the people are very, very friendly; it's alot like Fargo, lots of funny, quirky characters. It's not very developed and it's right on Lake Michigan; best thing of all? NO RAP MUSIC, LOW Crime and people still know what customer service is.

Also, lots of wildlife, snowmobile trails galore, land everywhere untouched..ahh, what a place!

**Rain Man** · 05-10-2006, 10:23 AM

I must someday visit this mythical utopia of Manistique.

1) Build a big ass house right here in Springfield, close to family and great place for the kids.
2) In the mountians, probably Colorado.
3) By the beach for the kids, Florida panhandle or Miami beach.

World....
New Zealand
Greece
Central Europe

Cardiff is nice middle ground. Closer to San Diego, than L.A. There is so much in that area and Cardiff is right off the beach and kind of right in near everything but without the touristy people bothering you. The views overlooking the ocean are cool. Just a little piece of quite to make up for my Vegas home.

Compton, East St Louis, KCK (anywhere on Quindaro)

Katipan · 05-10-2006, 10:29 AM

I want my family compound to be in Vegas. I want a ski condo in a nice area but not so nice that I have to wear Louis Vuitton tampons. And I'll take one sprawling beach party house in San Diego.

Other countries scare me.

Since I have no real desire to live outside the US. Don't mind visiting just would rather stay in the US.

1. In the Carolinas near Greenville. One of my favorite area is in Sunset Carlolina.

Main Reason

Plus you got the moutains and the ocean with in a couple of hours

2.Destin, FL - Just because we have a lot of family memories there and to us it is a beautiful place.

3. I know it is not flashy but probably get a few acres here in Springfeild and build a house. Love the area for family and raising kids.
