is it anti-lock?
That's what I'm talking about!I'd rather have multiple smaller homes all over the country in areas I like to visit, than have one humongous house that I would rarely enter most of the rooms of.
Kitchen, pantry, living room, dining room, maybe a small breakfast room/sun room, home theater, bathroom, workshop, garage, office, bedroom. What the hell would I do with 20 more rooms?
To me, it's the lot that's more important. No one for 100 yards minimum in any direction.
I would build a house that looks like it's only ~2k sq ft but build the bulk of the house underground. Have a full IMAX theater if possible, a couple of bowling lanes, my own underground garden, and a club room.
Well heck, if we're talking $100 million, I'd buy/build houses all over the world. A couple here in the states and a few in Europe too.
Ahh, I see how you are. Pick other places that you have to FLY to. Tell us your real reason for houses all over the country - you just want to be felt up by the TSA employees.:awe: :biggrin:

Wait, if we're not talking about having to spend the money and have nothing left over for ourselves then I would not even buy a fucking house...
I'd spend that $100 mil just vacationing and whatever I want around the world.
I live in a 1500sq ft house now. With a 100 million dollar budget, I'd probably go to around ~2500sq ft. Seeing as it'd just be myself living in it, should be plenty large enough. I'd want to send some of that 100m into the land the house is on, as well as decorating and furnishing the interior, solid utility units, etc.
Not very appealing to me to drop all the money into a home so large that you need to hire house keepers to maintain it, and meanwhile the property taxes on that kind of square footage would drain your coffers fast.

Fail. If you're going to do something like that, buy houses/apartments to rent. Split them up between areas with high demand; places like New York, LA, Philly, DC, etc. Hire a full time manager for each locale, and allow them to live rent free at the location as the perk. This person will take care of all local issues and repairs. Choose one location as your central office, where you'll have a general manager that everyone else reports to. Ideally this will be as hands off as possible, and simply a source of income for you. I'm no property manager, but I'd think that (given no mortgages) renting out 50+ (assuming 1-2 million purchase prices) abodes will bring respectable profits.
Then you travel.
It probably wouldn't be that big overall. Assuming money was no issue, probably 5-6k square feet. Extensive indoor gardens.. lots of natural light. Ultra efficient windows, insulation. Solar, wind, and hydro if available. Off grid. Living roof, grey water recycling. Waste digester. Low voltage LED lighting. Extensive basement, larger than the footprint of the house, incorporating a large zombie apocalypse bunker with own water and power supply with redundant backups. Now that's what I call a home!

You're screwed if there is a drought with black skys and no wind.
I could build the Batcave :awe:Because you just love living in basement like areas?
