If I had the money, I'd buy a tropical island and build my own house there with its own mini power plant and all the luxury (Satellite TV, phone, Internet), a yacht to reach the closest city/town.

btw what I meant by "dream home" is not something built on the clouds but something which you will really have in next coming years, so people be more realistic if possible while keeping your dreams come true!

I want to live in MA. It'd really be great to raise kids there...lots of good schools and universities.
I don't like the weather though...California is good

See with my dream house it would be in a wooded area like I live in right now. I would want maybe a two story house, 3 bath, 4 to 5 bed room, swimming pool, hot tub, about 17 to 20 acres of land.
Though for a good house like that with that much of land would cost around... $200,000.00 maybe more depending location, ect.
Oh the house would most likley be in Montana, because I love it here. I mean it is a great state, and the view is wonderfull. Also I might want another house in Nebraska. Houses in parts of Nebraska is dead cheap.I am back....

I would like to get a nice home on 10+ acres anywhere that it is really wooded but still not more than 30 mins or so from the city. 3-4 Bedroom, inground pool, 2-3 car garage and built in the last 15 years.
Right now I live in MA and I hate it, Guess its just because I have lived here so long and got sick of it, we own a townhouse in Florida we will probably go live in for a few years and then finally buy a real house a few years later. My ideal location would probably be somewhere like Columbus as odd as it may sound but the houses are cheap and it does not get too cold or too hot..

Wouldnt really matter to me where i lived.
Think about it in the long term, what would you rather have?
1. a big massive house 8 bedroom, 4 bathrooms etc..... but be on your own.
or
2. a perfectlly modest 3-4 bedroomed house and a family to be around.

Excluding Hawaii? I would say Cancun a/f WiFi access.

Although I wouldn't say it's our ultimate dream home. That would be something on the water, either a gated canal community block or beachfront block, but that's a few years away yet. I dream of buying a Million dollar block of beachfront land, and spending a Million building the house. That's the dream anyways.
But the home we're building now is a great home never the less. It's a 550m2 (60 square) home on a 1050m2 (1/4 acre) block on the escarpment with fantastic views. It's in a prettty exclusive area, with very nice homes etc. It's a 6 bedroom (yes we can fill the bedrooms ) 4 car garage (2 upstairs and 2 downstairs), with kid's bedrooms and huge 90m2 Rumpus room downstairs, and living areas and my own Home theatre/TV room upstairs. There's a great deck that overlooks the valley, and will be great in the mornings, eating breakfast out there.
The land was around 200k and we have 200k budgeted for the house building costs. Total cost around 400k for a ~650k valuation, seems I'm the Builder and getting all material at trade price (much less than retail), and doing most of the labor (concreting, carpentry, tiling, painting etc etc) myself, so that saves a LOT of $$.
Houses for me are a great way to "Dream Build". I love going and looking at the Million dollar homes in the canals and on the beachfront. I've had this dream of running my online business from my home office that overlooks the pool and the ocean/water, with the Yacht docked on my private jetty. That stuff really inspires me, and pushes me onwards!
Dream away people!!
sorry if my above post sounds like I'm bragging. I don't mean it to come off like that. I'm just very excited as 3 years ago we never dared dream we could be in this position, of building a 60sq home on a 1/4 acre escarpment block with no debt, so I hope it inspires some folks who dare to dream!• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

I'm in my dream house now, and we own it outright. About 3,000 sq ft, 2 story on 4 wooded acres, surrounded on 2 sides by tall, wooded hills. We have a pond, wildlife and quiet. We have decent internet (RR cable), a backup generator (whole house and then some).
This is all I ever wanted, apart from perhaps a bit more land.
Total cost: 40K.

I think that is a good price. I am assuming places like new york, ect would cost an arm, a leg, a car, ect, ect. I heard like a studio cost over $1000 a month???? That is crazy.
Though parts of Nebraska (west south part) people are moving out of a town so fast that the house value dropped. You can get houses that are okay size (1 floor, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, okay front and back yard) for about $20,000.00. I am thinking about getting a house down there. It is where my grand mother lives, and it is really nice over there!I am back....

My dream home has unlimited space, unlimited beds/baths/garages and costs somewhere between $1/y - $2/y USD or, preferably free. I'm willing to pay for water and electricity, but only if it's from a reputable provider, I can't be subject to downtime.

http://www.mlsb.com/mls/property_det...0065722&list=6 I think I’ll go with this one…
http://www.mlsb.com/mls/property_det...0046148&list=6 Or this one…
http://www.mlsb.com/mls/property_det...0068328&list=6 This one is nice…
http://www.mlsb.com/mls/property_det...0079058&list=6 Cool playground in the back for the rugrats…
http://www.mlsb.com/mls/property_det...0073619&list=6 Wow…look at the master bath room
http://www.mlsb.com/mls/property_det...0077173&list=6
In all seriousness…we’ll probably end up building a custom soon (within 1-2 years if that). We need a big house…have 3 kids and just found out yesterday, 4th and final is on the way. Plus…we have a lot of crap (full size air hockey table, pool table, huge sectional, Cal King bed, big office furniture that needs to be taken apart to get it out of the room its in now, etc… Probably end up just leaving it in the house. etc…).

I live in my dream home.
We have a 5 bedroom house on the south east coast of Nova Scotia (just off the ocean), one of the most beautiful parts of the world
Much like Bob, this took us 3+ years to get (we bought it 6 months ago), so it just makes it all the more sweeter to not be stuck with a mortgage.

Hey, the house I currently live in looks like all of your dream houses and costs about the same (at least compared to the market today). I'm mostly happy with it, but if I wished to have more, I would have had the following:
1. 48th-80th floor apartment in a large city.
2. Silohome (oh... yes)
3. Michael Dell's stuff
4. That 20,000sqft house with six floors and three subbasements with four elevators.
5. Five floor domeshaped pod.
Those should cost about the $1,000,000 range.Mark Lu
