What are your "modest" make it house requirements? Let's say you made $10,000,000 and are maybe willing to spend $2,000,000 on it, what are your non-negotiables? Which of mine seem stupid?
P.S. Try to be realistic and balance cost/maintenace with need - do you REALLY need an tennis court and a pool if there is a pleb-center with both within a mile?
> a house or condo in a good area that rents for at least $2,000+ (currently) without much hood risk. This isn't profitable (doesn't pay for itself in 10 years), but it's basically what pays for your house in perpetuity. You can do this with non-RE assets, but this seems to be the only way that's resistant to all bullshit like inflation, economic downturns, etc (P.S. that's why it might also be beterr off as a 4-unit - can't be too luxury or economy eats it. Condos and townhoses are much less of a pain in the ass, but the association might make a rule against renting. So maybe a small house in a nice area, but then you have to contract all the grass bullshit.
> high ceilings so your farts dissipate, enough said
> good air and water circulation / filtering. Would be cool to have full NBC, but that's probably a million on its own. So just a good air filter, maybe some detectors of critical issues, a really good water filter, good water pressure so if one person turns on hot water the other doesn't lose it (we poors know)
> serviceable cable channels and overall well-done, modular electric so it can be replaced. Would kind of be nice to have wired internet accross the house. Delusion tier is faraday cages on some rooms

> 2 car garage that ACTUALLY fits two cars and maybe a side area for tools. Maybe two separate doors to keep maintenance cheap. 3-car seems to be pushing it. I would maybe have a lift or a service tunnel, but again, not sure I would want to work on cars at that point. Very divided on good heating and ventilation here. Very expensive if not used to service cars.
> two-three bathrooms, guest room that can sit unused, muh office, her office, master bedroom, maybe one more bedroom, kitchen, dining room, work out room (basement or one with one glass / slider side?) this all fits in 2000ft^2
> somehow green area but within 15 minutes of city. On a hill, preferrably
> at least an acre with wooded, private back
> brick or stone, no fucking vinyl or whatever the fuck
> pic very unrelated, don't really want a smelly shared lake or river, which is all you get in 2 mil range
Dat pink id though. Looks like all I am getting is a dragon-dildo, lube, and strobelights trap room.

>do you REALLY need an tennis court and a pool if there is a pleb-center with both within a mile?
I don't play tennis, but yes, I really need a pool, hot tub, and sauna because I don't want to be swimming in other people's piss, only my own.
>high ceilings so your farts dissipate
standard ceilings so my heating and cooling costs stay reasonable
>2 car garage that ACTUALLY fits two cars and maybe a side area for tools.
Maybe a few commonly used items would be kept in the garage, but I would have a shop where most of my tools are kept and with plenty of work space
>I would maybe have a lift or a service tunnel
Not needed unless you're wrenching professionally. Good jacks and stands are plenty.
>2.5 bath, 4 bedrooms
1/2 bath for guests to shit in and small bedroom for them to use, master bath and bedroom for me and the missus, a bedroom each for the boys and girls and a bathroom for them to fight over
library/den, kitchen + pantry, dining room + breakfast nook, home gym, sunroom
>somehow green area but within 15 minutes of city. On a hill, preferrably
If I can afford all this, I don't give a shit how far away I live from a city.
>at least an acre with wooded, private back
No more than 5 acres. I'm not a farmer or homesteader, nor do I plan on larping as one and 20, 50, 100+ acres becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. An acre or two is plenty for a chicken coop, vegetable garden, flower garden, and a few fruit trees.
>brick or stone, no fucking vinyl or whatever the fuck
Wood floors. People shit on stick built homes but the problem has always been the laborers, not the materials. Don't have mexicans and drug addicts throw your house together as quickly as possible while cutting corners everywhere in the hopes that inspectors won't catch them and a stick built house will be as sturdy as a home using any other construction technique.

A small house in our natural environment which is the forest is enough.

P.S. Noise reduction is huge for me. I want to be able to actually sleep in the bedroom when someone is watching TV downstairs. No noise-insulation completely kills the point of a big house. Seems like a lot of it goes through air ducts too.
>I don't play tennis, but yes, I really need a pool, hot tub, and sauna because I don't want to be swimming in other people's piss, only my own.
Maintaining a pool is a huge bitch, I also question a hot tub - I would probably get in there like once a year if I wasn't trying to be social and get some, but that's a whole different aspect that requires a shitton of other things. Same with sauna, I just don't buy it, even though I get the whole hot/cold therapy thing.
>standard ceilings so my heating and cooling costs stay reasonable
One non-negotiable for me, tall ceilings make the space so much fucking better, even though you suddenly need a ladder to maintain basic-ass shit.
> Not needed unless you're wrenching professionally. Good jacks and stands are plenty.
I wanna drop that tranny and get at dat clutch sometimes cuz.
>No more than 5 acres. I'm not a farmer or homesteader, nor do I plan on larping as one and 20, 50, 100+ acres becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. An acre or two is plenty for a chicken coop, vegetable garden, flower garden, and a few fruit trees.
I mostly agree with you there. I wouldn't garden shit though, and definitely not have fucking chickens (P.S. had chickens and pigs as a kid). People who want to do woods shit can get a separate piece of land.
>Wood floors.
Absolutely. Fuck carpets.
> People shit on stick built homes but the problem has always been the laborers, not the materials.
This is also true - the problem is that cheaper wood is being used now too. I do like stone homes, but there are a number of issues there, cost being a huge one. The other one being that they aren't that much more structurally solid if you don't do reinforced concrete or something.
Why do you want 5 acres?
>>
>>62111273
Used to want a mcmansion, now i realize i dont want a family or a wife so living in a massive house would be creepy by myself. So a normal house with a high end interior sounds nice. Other than that i've gotten over most of my materialistic wants. I barely ponder my future home nowadays heh.....sigh

>I want to be able to actually sleep in the bedroom when someone is watching TV downstairs.
TV is the devil, I would never own one of those devil boxes. I'd do a single story layout and put the master bedroom on the far end of the house away from the common areas, garage, kids bedrooms, and other noisy stuff.
>Maintaining a pool is a huge bitch
For the guy I'm paying to do it for me, maybe.
>Why do you want 5 acres?
No more than 5. The ideal would be 2. That's tons of space for a yard, gardens, and shop. I like gardening, but I'm on the fence about chickens, what's the bad part about owning chickens?

i am failing at life but i am financially stable so nobody notices or cares. the only thing that matters in western society is money. if you had a loving family and a kind soul and you were poor, you would be called a failure.

needs to be at least 1/4 sq miles of land, preferably more
plenty of trees, high quality well, ideally a little lake or pond with fish (for feeding and being frens, not killing)
must get at least 50" of rainfall per year, preferably over 100"
temps between 30*F and 80*F 99% of the time
must be close to the ocean
as few neighbors as possible
yep SE Alaska would be perfect if not for all the richfags who already built their shitty summer homes all over the islands there

>I also question a hot tub
I use mine a lot. 20+ times a year. We clean it every week or two.
Americans use chemicals to clean their hottub only once every 6 months.
Disgusting.
Just water in mine.
We heat it with wood haha. Another thing Americans can't do.

I own my modest make it home and bought it cash.
Solid two storied brick house from 1900, new roof, new exterior wood work, 180m2, big garden with both a grill patio, vegetable plot, rose beds and garden pavilion.
In the county side with horses and wheat Fields as "nNEIGhbours".
It's not a mansion, it's basically boomer core, but that works for me.A pool and sauna would complete it.

damn..
and to answer the OP >>62111273
i always liked the idea of a penthouse apartment, but i've never even lived in a city lol
i also like the idea of a villa, the kind with a small enclosed courtyard in the center
i'd like a lot of space rooms for projects and other stuff, i picture a ground floor (or basement) with a garage & several other no-frills rooms without many windows, with all the rooms to actually live in on the above 2-3 floors
but i don't know how that layout would work with a courtyard...

>5100 square feet
>Giant ass paver driveway. It's got a loop in the front but you can take a straight shot to the garage, like a lowercase h. This is great because if you have friends, nannies, housekeepers whatever over they can park in the loop without blocking your ability to get in and out.
>Giant ass kitchen. Subzero fridge, freezer hidden behind custom Amish walnut cabinetry that extends throughout, taj mahal quartz countertops, wolf GAS oven WITH real ass mega ventilation so you can vent like a champ when you sear steak. There's a pot filler above the range but that's kinda a meme.
>Kitchen pantry with a second sink, giant countertops, under sink ice maker, outlets, storage etc. Huge because you now have space for your basic kitchen appliances without gumming up your kitchen. You go to a poor people kitchen and it's fucking packed with loads of shitty countertop appliances and you don't have space to prep or do shit.
>Second fridge/freezer adjacent to the pantry so if you're salting a rib roast you've got space for that.
>Upstairs has a wing for homeschooling. So you've got a room with tons of storage and two study carrels, with a built in cabinet for a printer to slide in and out. Then a playroom for the kids and then a final room for a classroom.

>Heated bathroom floors
>Comfy gas fireplaces
>Multi zone cooling so you can cool bedrooms nicely at night but not bother with the rest of the house
>Good sound proofing throughout

Somewhere on the ocean that gets waves but is mostly placid, and can't get hurricanes.
The sex dungeon needs to have one of those "monkey rocker" chairs that slides a dildo up and down as I rock the chair. Also, yoga balls of various sizes so that I can position myself comfortably for dogs of all sizes to mount me.
Also, I guess I'll need an air fryer in the kitchen for my tendies.

I imagine they're either too big or eye wateringly expensive even if they're small though. Where are you thinking of? If I truly made it I guess I would just try to build one from scratch. Modern rich people seem to have awful taste, imo, in architecture.

Everything stone, plaster, dense wood. Should have a feeling of being overengineered for permanence. Thick columns that actually support loads, etc.
>Levels, Jerry
Private outdoor space with small lake and boulders and vegetation. Direct access to forest on the side
Greenhouse built 50% into the house. There is no floor, just real dirt and a path created from large flat stones. A bed suspended from chains so you can go to sleep watching the stars and smelling the vegetation without bugs crawling into bed. Wacky I know
Apartment with separate entrance from main so I can rent out either for some cash flow
A dark academia style combined library/living room/office where one side is just a giant window to a great view
As off grid as possible (solar, stream water, etc)
