Dream Homes?

This is just for the sake of day-dreaming (probably), but if money and job was not an issue what would your dream home be?

Here is one to get the ball rolling:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTmks3XENpY

Walker's Cay off the east coast of Florida and apparently for sale for only $14mill.

Maybe an old missile silo mansion:  https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/nuclear-missile-silo-home...

A cavern:  https://www.arkhaven.org/Huge_cavern_system.htm

A lighthouse?  https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/real-estate/a11660003/gov...

Apparently the actual resort hotel is just a slab now due to hurricane damage.  I wonder if a castle-like, hurricane-resistant building could be built there.  Maybe something like:

Shutters?  What about aluminum shutters for hurricanes?  Hangars?  A floating boat house?

400 Henry St, Ravenswood, WV 26164

6,000 sq/ft old Lutheran Church in western WV (near at least two sternwheeler festivals).  Some serious potential.  The brick Victorian next door is nice too (old rectory?)

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/590-Evans-Grove-D...  WOW.  Beautiful.

590 Evans Grove Dr, Evans, WV 25241

In case you want to make a call while watching TV in your shower/bath/sauna before going back to your 2,000 sq/ft bedroom:
