    I live in mine, just finished building two years ago. It is a log cabin with a covered porch all the way around, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, living room, dining, kitchen, library, sewing room, and loft. No garage as it is 14 ft up on piling because I have a river at the end of my back yard, but underneath there is a two bedroom apartment also with wrap around porch that I added for my parents. And no neighbors for 3 miles!
    beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This. Except mine would also overlook water - a river, lake or beach. It would have a huge eat-in kitchen and a huge craft room :)
    Ditto, except I want the lake and at least 100 acres. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    A lovely old fashioned homestead of the Aussie variety, wrap around porch, lovely garden plus kitchen garden and chooks. And in the central tablelands so it snows a little in winter and is really hot in summer but no humidity which I hate!! I wish I could order this dream without the snakes and spiders - but I guess I'll just have to manage.

    Sounds lovely. With one small exception..notice something necessary missing?

    My goodness - 90,000!?? Are you serious? You couldn't get anything for that price in Australia. The house across the road just went for 780,000 and we aren't in a wealthy area....Sydney is a nightmare for house prices

    That made me laugh - at my memories, not your post. Up to the age of 5 or so, we lived in a trailer on my grandpa's farm. They were a high class farmer- the out house was made of brick, and was a 5 seater! I just remember a cat had decided to have kittens on the shelf where toilet paper was kept.
