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 rangeDat pink id though. Looks like all I am getting is a dragon-dildo, lube, and strobelights trap room.
If I was an American who'd just made it, I'd buy a plot of land and build a house out of REINFORCED CONCRETE instead of plywood.

>>62111273I just want a comfy hobbit hole and garden, man. Preferrably by a river or something.
>>62111273>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 dissipatestandard 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 tunnelNot needed unless you're wrenching professionally. Good jacks and stands are plenty.>2.5 bath, 4 bedrooms1/2 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 overlibrary/den, kitchen + pantry, dining room + breakfast nook, home gym, sunroom>somehow green area but within 15 minutes of city. On a hill, preferrablyIf 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 backNo 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 fuckWood 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.
>>62111273A 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 reasonableOne 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?
>>62111273Used 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
>>62111574>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 bitchFor 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?
>>62111273500k USD. I just want a cozy house in a big land plot. And i want to leave enough money to hire guards, house staff, and a big titty fem cook so i can drink milkshakes straight from her fat tits.
>>62111273Two words. Inside mountain.
I have a finished basement with a laser projector and comfy couch, and I have a son. I've made it.
>>62111273A 2M isnt that nice. Its just the minimum to be respectable.
>>62114100i 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.
>>62111273needs to be at least 1/4 sq miles of land, preferably moreplenty 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 timemust be close to the oceanas few neighbors as possibleyep SE Alaska would be perfect if not for all the richfags who already built their shitty summer homes all over the islands there

>>62114116Could try coastal Washington or Oregon.
>>62111273100% white within 5 miles.And no Mexican gardeners showing up in my area either.100% white.(I already have this in Europe)
>>62111574>I also question a hot tubI 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.
>>62114294Europeans are cucks.
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.

>>62114413damn..and to answer the OP >>62111273i always liked the idea of a penthouse apartment, but i've never even lived in a city loli also like the idea of a villa, the kind with a small enclosed courtyard in the centeri'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 floorsbut i don't know how that layout would work with a courtyard...
>>62114438>a lot of space rooms for projectsa lot of space for projects*
>>62111273I made $30MM and bought a house for under $2MM, cheap city, low cost>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.>Walk-in closets in every bedroom >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>Wired for access points with everything connecting in a walk in utility closet large enough for a server rackEtc
