I would love to have 50 to 100 acres with a nice pond. Would like a large house, but what I really want is an old barn that I could make into an office/party barn. Would prefer a hip style barn.
All that said, the wife and I were able to build a couple of years ago. We have nice ranch in town on a acre lot. Most of that is fenced for the dogs. Three car garage, five total bedrooms, 3.5 baths, about 3500 finished. Its more than I ever really thought I'd have. All credit goes to the wife who is AWESOME with our money. I married up.

Honestly, I love my own house. It has...
high ceilings. Ceilings lower than 8 feet make me want to duck. good location. I can walk to anything. good size and layout. I have enough room for almost anything I'd want to do. old. I like the style of older homes. If I could improve it I'd like a first-floor bathroom and a larger kitchen. I wouldn't mind having some sort of big "project room", too, but I don't really need it. If I didn't live in the city I wouldn't mind having a house with some land. Maybe 10 or 20 acres. That's only if it doesn't require upkeep, though.

I've got my land with a view, timber and good location. I built a pond that I've heard strangers talking about in area stores and I'm getting ready to build the house I'll likely reside until my departure from this earth.
I've been thinking about building a pond for a decade or more. I've built a lot of what I wanted with it, and have a small pond over it that I'll use as a bait fish incubator that will flood the main pond with big rains. Also have a "centerpiece" of the pond that I have very high hopes for and big ideas that I hope to complete this spring. I'm pretty damn excited about it. |

20+ acres stream or a large pond on it. Plenty of wood to fell for a woodstove, some cleared pastures for some basic crops. A 5 BR, 4-1/2 BA house with a view.
-4 car garage -large freestanding building for a boat and a nice shop -finished basement with a man cave of chiefs memorabilia, a pool table, keggerator, and bar -open floor plan with stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Oh and an F-250 diesel, a 1963 corvette, a couple ATV's, and a boat ![]() |

I like the size of my house currently (2100 sq.ft.), and I wouldn't want anything much bigger. I would really, really like to have a freestanding outbuilding, as others have mentioned as a shop/studio/storage area.
Since our house is a 1950s ranch, it just doesn't have enough storage space. As far as dream house, though, I'd really like to have multiple houses in multiple locations (mountains, tropical, downtown in a major city), all small with a minimum of upkeep.

As far as properties go, though, this one is one of my ideal layouts if I were dreaming. 4 different structures. The barn has a bowling alley, bar, recording studio, and stage in it. The modern outbuildings in the top right are for RV and vehicle storage as well as workshops. The actual house is an remodeled farmhouse. Pool and guesthouse up top. It's just a beautiful piece of property. Ponds and such are scattered around, but I didn't show those in the screenshot.
