What would your ideal home be like?

Omg, so many options. Based on my own experience, I would like this:

Near a forest and some body of water but not too close to it. The terrain would be reasonably hilly but no steep slopes around. No mountains to block the sunlight for half a day. Definitely not in the valley. Not somewhere far away from civilization, I wouldn't mind being somewhere at the outskirts of a bigger city, not too far from an airport if I wanted to travel, for example.
A small detached house with a sunny terrace on the first floor where no building around would cast shadow on it for the most of the day. Kitchen and bathroom having windows facing east. My bedroom would be north or west. I'd have a garden big enough to have a few fruit trees in it. An apple tree and a walnut tree. There would be a sunny place to grow strawberries and vegetables on.

But..I also wonder what it's like to live by the sea somewhere where it's significantly warmer than the climate I know. 🤔

My ideal home would be :

-An ecological, medium-sized cottage
-With a garden and where I can grow fruit trees and plant vegetables
-On a mountain with a beautiful view
-Beside a forest
-With a beach at the foot of the mountain
- Bohemian Style but not the cluttery kind with too much going on, but one nicely-curated aesthetically, with artwork and special things one has collected through travelling. Above all, it must have a cozy vibe.

Nice post, this was fun, thank you☺

I recently considered downsizing. The house is way too big for one. But with a little help I decided just to move to the downstairs area and avoid the stairs. Its still more than I really need. But I will never get a location like this again..😷

A Victorian terraced house with a small garden in front and a bigger garden at the back, just beyond the back yard. Various outbuildings in the back yard including an outside toilet. That doesn't mean I don't want an indoor toilet inside the bathroom, it means I want an outside one to use while I'm gardening.

A villa with sea views and mountain views, warm, dry climate. Decent size but manageable garden, swimming pool. Not too far from civilisation.

A cottage with a large garden, in a village somewhere in the SW of England, within walking distance of a pub.
The garden would have lots of colourful flowers, and greenery, and a gardener.
There would be outbuildings with room for several cars.

A modest, single level home, in a forest by a lake with good fishing. No lawn, just natural ground cover to control. A garden of azaleas, day lilies, and other flowering plants. Easy drive to medical care, grocery store, golf course, and church.

I might like to live in a beach town with a house facing the beach. There are some nearby.

Used to be the beach but ...flooding

A small cabin in the woods with a creek ...I need to be near water of some kind ...even a small body of it

A small house in the middle of the Tuscan hills, surrounded by tall trees and a lake nearby. A garden to grow my own food and a flower garden too.

This would do

Home is where the heart is . . location and design are of secondary importance 💖

It has to be on a cliff overlooking a large body of water - have all manner of secret rooms - and it must be overcast and raining all the time:

A bunker the way the worlds going
