Trees, birds singing, fresh air, open windows and doors...It's beautiful and I'd rent one for a vacation but don't much like the idea of living there full time. I love trees too much for it to be my main home.
I don't think cars would run very well under water.. so you'd probably need to swim up to your driveway!!Where's the Garage?? I can just imagine having to make a quick run to the store...would be a half day event. Plus, they better hope nothing ever springs a leak.
The best "compromise" I've ever seen is the environment in Kenora, Ontario...on the north shores of Lake of The Woods. There are dozens of small islands in the bay, and people park their car in a garage/boathouse on the shore, and boat to their house on the island. There are even traffic signals in the bay, so that boaters and the small seaplanes don't collide. If I were filthy rich, I'd have a Summer home there.
That’s what I have now minus the tin bath.If money wasn't an issue ........I would love a place in the 'woods' where the wildlife is all around you and nature is at your fingertips , you could carry on your hobby/work making things with wood. Enjoy the evening in a tin bath and relax on 'sun beds' and enjoy a few beers. OOh sounds a bit like Gary O's place - is it up for sale ?????
Where we went kayaking a while back there were many islands with homes on them. Most were in really bad shape and looked abandoned or perhaps just used once a year. Perhaps the islands need to be bigger. Lol. Then again it’s a super busy spot in the summertime which normally I would hate.Where's the Garage??

I've been giving thought to the opening to the house (water level).I wonder if your address would be on the submarines gps so they don’t crash into you.
True and how to get NetflixI've been giving thought to the opening to the house (water level).
- Is it a boat dock?
- Is it just a round tube sticking out of the water?
- Is it a large box with a locking door?
What prevents a boat, ship, craft, from crashing into, and/or anyone breaching ones security and entering the home?
And, Keesha... what are the laws protecting homeowners from peeping-toms, I mean peeping-divers?True and how to get Netflix
There’s a lot to think about but there really are some people who live like this underwater. The strange thing is my husband is one of them. He can’t swim or stand getting his head wet yet would happily live underwater whereas I’ll swim just about anywhere yet this would spook me. Yes and where’s the garage?. How do you take your dogs for a walk? My dogs want their paws touching the earth.
You would?yes, just yes.
