If money were no object...

Missile silo for me, because sometimes you just want to close the door and shut out the world. :( Sad part is I wanted one years ago, before they became popular (that means too expensive), but, the wife nixed the idea.

My dream would be to have a group of houses near to each other. Hubby and I would live in one and give the other ones to my family.So we could all be there for each other.

 

I'm happy where I am and would stay here. But I'd get a second home in one of the other places I love, such as the Pacific Northwest or Martha's Vineyard, to escape the summer heat.

And maybe a cottage in the English countryside, and a condo in some gorgeous place like Lugano, Switzerland?
 
i would find the perfect spot in the med -had to be a villa looking out to sea ------------own big pool just heaven ........
 
My future home will be a casita on a property that my daughter and SIL are planning on buying in 3 years as soon as the youngest graduates from high school.


They are looking at states other than California....so, where ever they go...I’ll go.

Thats the PLAN! :)

For me its not where here I live but with who...
 
I would buy back the little cottage that was first house I ever lived in.

47 Acacia Street, Clearwater Beach Florida. SCAN0026B.jpg

A 5 minute walk from the Gulf of Mexico going west and 5 minutes to Clearwater Bay to the east.

This is what it looks like today.

According to zillow this little 750 square foot cottage is worth about $400,000 today. I doubt my parents paid much more than $2,500 when they bought it back in 1946.

Too bad they didn't hang on to it.

But if money were no object, I'd make the current owner an offer they could not refuse.

Somewhere in the Lake District, England. Maybe Ambleside. The house would be totally off grid. Run by solar and possibly combined with wind turbine. It would have to be super insulated, and have the latest and greatest technologies of battery storage, energy efficient heating and cooling, all LED lights, etc.

I love the Lake district, but it's changed a lot since I started visiting - almost 50 years ago. The countryside and the villages haven't changed much, but everywhere has become so crowded with visitors and everything is expensive. Building regulations are so tight that I doubt if you would be allowed to build the sort of house you would ideally like, and I doubt if a wind turbine would be allowed.

Still, you can dream and there's plenty of beautiful places that would allow such a scheme.
 
I have to think about this but right now I'll say I'm in a group where due to it's title, pictures of caves are routinely posted. The group's moderator would love these cave pictures! I love the bottom one myself but not my choice for where to live if money were no option.
 
:lofl: chic

If money were no object I would purchase properties all over the world to be used as animal rescue facilities.
I’d hire people to help look after them
 
Even if money were no object, I would probably live in my present humble house. I'd still drive my present old car. I would still lead a very simple life. The only thing I would add is a ten story, 1,500 room servants' quarters.
