Thread: House

    It would be surrounded by a lush forest on three sides and sit near a beautiful blue lake that isn't polluted by humans (except me). There would be a long, long driveway leading away from it that would take, at minimum six and a half minutes to drive down. I would have a few neighbors, but they would be on opposing embankments on my lake and they would all be super nice to me and each other. We would also hold friendly get togethers in a small cabin that is floating, somehow, in the middle of the lake. It would have a fireplace so we can have warm cocoa as we share our disgust for the outside world.

    There would also be no crazy inbred hicks with advanced knowledge of weaponry or chainsaws within a thirty mile radius.

    I grew up with in a house at the end of a dead end road on top of a hill. 45 minutes to town so we were pretty isolated. None of my friends wanted to come over because it was "to scary". But I was always outside in the middle of it. So peaceful.

    Go out, explore your surroundings, and take pictures.

    Besides for the occasional deer, you probably won't see anything besides cute little bunnies, raccoons, and squirrels. So... You have nothing to worry about. Just don't drop your keys. Raccoons steal shiny things =/

    But they have the craziest parties!



    My dream house would look something like Bunny posted but a little smaller. I don't like big houses. They look beautiful on the outside but are so lonely on the inside.

    I want to move back to a location where I grew up. Just not in a location where the power went out on a weekly basis.

    I honestly find it completely ridiculous when small families or celebrities buy stupidly-large houses. You really don't need a house that big, and it's most likely a bitch to clean. I'd prefer living in a moderate house like Ara said. Something roomy, but not too roomy, yet cozy, yet not too cozy.

    My dream house would consist of... A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room (consisting of my computer, a TV, and a bookshelf), a basement, and a tower (kind of like the house Shorty posted).

    The living room, of course, could be eliminated by storing books at the top of the tower, where sunlight could provide light for reading for most of the day, and by putting the TV and computer in the basement where there would be no chance of having a glare on the screens.

    I really don't want to live in a ranch. There's just not enough space and they're all so bland.

    The only thing I think I'd really want in a house is two stories. I grew up in them and being limited to one floor would just be cramped for me. I'd also like something in the country, though I'd rather buy a farmhouse than build new. Seeing old rich people buy up farmland to build these huge, expensive gaudy houses to "get away from it all" (when they're moving into a community with other rich old people with expensive gaudy houses and increasing the rate of urban expansion and destruction of farmland...) just pisses me off so I refuse to be one. Though I guess I could build something conservative on a plot of land that's already there. Just nothing that involves getting rid of woods or fields.

    Deer, bunnies, raccoons, and squirrels come into my yard often, anyway - wild turkeys, too.

    I walked around in these woods a lot when I was a kid.

    My dream house is the mansion from the first RE game



    Minus the zombies and other murderous creatures though.
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    Than why do you have a fear of whats living inside of the woods? Just curious.



    The location where I grew up, was an acre. Not very large and not really good land. More rock than soil but we still had a small garden. Besides for strawberries, it was all veggies. Had an apple tree and a pear tree in the front yard and a cherry tree in the back. Which never seemed to produce edible fruit... at least not in appearance and I never remember actually eating any of it. Also had a blue berry plant for a while as well as raspberries. Lots of blackberry bushes. Ate a lot of homemade pie.

    We also had some animals. Besides for having way to many pets, we also had chickens, goose, and pheasants. Which we raised to eat. Had a couple goats but they were to expensive and goat milk is gross anyhow. 2 work shops. Large tree fort. A fountain that we built one summer.

    You can find a lot of use for an acre of land.


    House was awesome. Had an awesome kitchen with an island, 2 ovens, a gas stove, and a couple dozen cabinets. Master bedroom was huge with two over sized closets and the master bathroom. Wow. His and her sinks. A shower and a huge bathtub that you had steps to walk in to. Perfect. 2 other nice size rooms. Large family room. Large living room. Large dinning room. 2 decks.

    Something like that. Except, I want it to have a wood exterior, a larger fireplace, walk-in closets for each room, and a basement. Maybe add an extra room in there so encase I have my perfect family of a wife and two kids, my wife will have a little office.

    I would want the same property. Everything. Except maybe add in another acre so we could have a go-kart track. I usually just rode mine in the woods but it was to dark in the winter so I never rode it.

    As long as I have a nice large basement that can fit my drum kits and a home music production studio, I'm good.

    I hate apartments.

    I agree. Woods are scary. Not so much the woods themselves, but what's in them.

    I do not like those things swinging from that tree.

    Also, I changed my mind. I want this house.
