Ideal house? I think I live in it, honestly. The size is perfect, the back and front yards are pretty large, and my neighborhood is pretty suburban-hip with museums, restaurants, and good shops in fairly close proximity. Plus, not too long of a commute from work/friends/parents.

However, my DREAM house would not even be in this state. And it would probably look something like this:


I'm not getting into how realistic such a scenario is. All I know is there's an ocean in my yard.

I would absolutely love just a small modest house in a nice beach community!

I would love to teach at The University of Hawaii, or somewhere in Florida

but seriously, I would like a house on a lake or some sort of body of water where I can fish and with a decent amount of space to hit golf balls.

Well, you are heading out into "hobbit" country are you not??? ....I'm sure NZers are open to alternative housing and your ideal wouldn't go amiss
After looking at everyone elses back yards, I'm beginning to think my vege patch is quite modest!!!! glad everyone who has replied have great imaginations

This is where I'm from.



And a lot of people here think its a cool house and I was about to say that I'd like to live in a normal place like this cause I like the houses in Australia they're much more modern



But then I saw the house that the other poster put up


that's where I want to live!

yeah I can appreciate its beauty but to live in the suburbs here in nice little houses is a great feeling. Its really nice inside but not the kind of place you can live in like you can in houses here cause its filled with historic things that you don't dare break or even touch sometimes because its got lots of noble history. And its so huge and empty on the inside at night and the main room is giant and echoes. But yeah its really pretty, I can hardly complain when some people grow up in slums. I still want to live in the hobbit place though!

I hope that you like them as much as I do... There was a house for sale in Phoenix that I wanted, really bad. It was gorgeous, but has since been removed from the site. Guess someone bought it... Oh well... Any of these would do!

I love everybody's tastes! This is a house I grew up loving in Raleigh, NC. When I was a kid, it was abandoned, run down, and had windows broken out... it was fantastically spooky!

Here's a group of Mansions in Rhode Island. They are all beautiful! I think it was the Breakers where True Lies was filmed.
