    At your mom's house. OH SNAP!

    In reality, I'd probably just live in a nice house with lots of room in it, lots of extra space. It'd have a big yard with a few plants growing infront of an large porch. I'd have a trampoline in the yard, and a good-sized swimming pool. Good, friendly neighbors. A dog or two, and maybe a llama or horse or something as long as I could afford to have someone else take care of it. I'd likely put a fountain of myself spewing water out of my nose in a spray in the front yard. Of course, I'd have a very nice security system with well-placed cameras. I'd also have a ninja training room, and room which could be used for gymnastic activities (aka room where I could learn to do a front/back etc. flip without falling on my head), and a big recording studio. It'd probably be located somewhere that's pretty warm, and doesn't get bad weather often. Oh, and it'd have a really nice wooden back porch and maybe a forest with some bike trails out back.

    Someplace with no snow, no hurricanes, and no rain. And it would have to always be warm too.

    Arizona

    I'd like to do some travelling before I decide where I'd like to live. Definately someplace warm, in a city, and a house with a pool.

    Byron Bay maybe. Or anywhere near the beach that isn't too much of a big city.

    In the mountains about an hour or so from here with atleast 50 acres.

    This house would be self 'contained' with solar power, well water, propane tank, diesel tank, septic system, backup generator that ran on propane or diesel. The house would also have fire places in the main living room, as well as masterbedroom. Also on the property would be a very nice "Shop/Barn" to work on my vehicles as well as store firewood, toys, and tractors.

    It would snow during winter, and be in the upper 70s to mid 80s in summer.

    In fact I hope to move into such a house within the next 5 years. Maybe not 50 acres with all the toys, and self containment but most of the above.

    Somewhere warm! I hate cold weather and snow. I'm thinking I'd like to live somewhere like Orlando. I'd golf all year 'round.

    Definitely in the UK. I know everyone complains about the weather here, but I like the variety.

    I'd have a big, but not huge, house with about 5 acres of land around it, containing a few very large trees. House must have large windows and good head hight. A nice sized barn, like ToddW's, to work on restoring cars and general DIY stuff. Being near the sea would be nice and even though I would like a house out in the country, it would need to have easy access to a large city. I'd like a long drive-way with a large gate at the end to stop any unwanted visitors reaching my door In fact, sounds crazy, but I always liked the idea of having a moat around my house with an electrically operated bridge.

    Why not just buy an island

    Somewhere warm for me too - I hate the miserable cold winters we have here in the UK. Me & the missus are (half) planning on moving to the states. I'd like somewhere with a fair slice of land, maybe 5 bedrooms or so, with some good entertaining facilities. Nice area etc, a few miles from a reasonably large town. 20 miles from the sea or so would be cool.

    Well R2D2, would you rather have hurricanes or earthquakes?

    Hmm, yes I guess that would be something to take into account. Is all of California prone to 'quakes?

    Maybe Carolina way is ok? Is it warm there?
