    Not for me on multiple fronts. Seems so cold and without any spirit; I would feel like I'm living in some corporation's offices. Or, as you said, a tomb.

    And the gardener in me cringes to see how the landscapers massacred those poor trees along the driveway.

    Plus I find that as I get older, I want less space, not more.

    So a resounding "no", even if I could afford it.

      Ugh. I love modern. This is just sterile.

            LOL and spot on.

              I want an actual Georgian country house in England.

              The architecture and gardens have a mesmerizing effect.

              That's my "dream house" and they don't cost anything approaching $195,000,000.

              Edited to add-- I've seen new built luxury N.Y.C. apartments I could be happy living in for the rest of my life. I like the floorplans, the views, and the "surfaces" (lol). A 2 bedroom or even a 1 bedroom would be my other idea of heaven on earth.

                Daniel, I'm also drawn to Georgian gentlemanly properties; here are three, choose one?

                  Andy, thanks!

                  I'll have #2.

                    21 acres, you'd like a lot of land!
                    I picked three very different properties on purpose. But all reasonable sized houses.

                    I'd like number 3 for its high ceilings and light. Thoroughly modernised and a short walk to the shops.
                    The modernised bit is important now we've experienced a 'project'. I know nothing of US housing, but here my architect friend warns that anything older than Edwardian (pre-1900) is usually a can of worms.

                    The modern 195million house lacks something.

                    As the video ends my eye was looking at the chateau on the hill behind, surrounded by trees.

                      Mine too. Lol.

                      I narrowed it down to #2 and #3.

                      I chose #2 because it seemed minimalist to me in a traditional sense, I liked the land (talk about privacy), and I liked the out buildings, including their arrangement on the property.
