What does your dream home look like?

We all dream of having this amazing home to live in. I'm curious to know what everyone's dream home would look like. What type of appliances would you have? Would you have a pool? Is it a large home or one just big enough to hold your family? My dream home would be a light tan color on the outside with dark green shutters. I would have one room in the front that has a vaulted ceiling and from the outside it would look like one of those things on a castle...not the thing that looks like the playing piece in chess, but it would be pointed at the very top. I would have a large kitchen that I can actually move around in. It would have an island in the middle and a breakfast bar between the kitchen and the living room. I would have Cherry wood cabinets and one of those new high tech stoves that has the sensors and everything on it. I can't remember what they are called, but they are some type of Intelligent stove. My refrigerator would be a high tech one that has a tv and/or internet in it and the reason for that is so that I can watch the cooking channel or get recipes instantly while being in the kitchen. It would have the temperature controls for the different departments. My bathroom would be a decent size with a steam shower/whirlpool jet system in it. I feel that having a great shower to come home to after work is necessary for relaxation in my stressful life. I would also have a whirlpool tub to relax in. I would have lovely professional landscaping all around and my backyard would have a deck and a pool. The pool would look like an entry to the beach, where you walk in steeper and steeper and it has a sandy look to it. It would have rock landscaping, a mini bridge, and a waterfall. I would have fancy colored lighting inside that I can program to change colors and motions for pool parties. I would also have one of those outdoor kitchens with a smoker grill for entertaining. So, that's only part of my home...how much do you think that sets me back? A couple million I'm sure,LOL. Please share with me your dream home. I think it is necessary to let your mind wander and daydream like that sometimes.

I think I know what you mean by that castle looking part of the building if you are talking about some of these houses that have a turret or a small circular tower (with the cone shaped roof)... I've always wanted to have one of those as a library filled with books, where you have a circular stair case that ascends to the top and you can grab books off the shelf as you go along... (I suppose that you wouldn't want to accidentally drop one from the top - LOL)

I forgot. I once toured a house that had a theater built into one of the rooms so that the family could put on performances. (It was actually quite an elaborate set up for a home, complete with places for lighting and a backstage area.) If I had the opportunity to incorporate something like this into my dream home, I most definitely would do so.

I would like a bigger house than I have at the moment, I would like to have a big lounge room where my computer would have its own little area looking out to a nice big garden..I would like to have a bedroom with an ensuite and walk in robe, but I wouold also like a private little lounge area off that bedroom...I would like to have a couple of guest rooms each with their own ensuite...outside I would like a nice private yard with no lawn but a lot of palms and ferns...hmmm I can dream...
