    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.
                    Homely soul?
                    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.
