A house in the country
Get one far enough out that it is not about to become part of some suburb.
Never buy on a north facing slope.
If there is no power close by forget it.
Or buy property with a slope and year round stream.
Get a perk test done.
Rent in the area for a year before thinking of buying.
Have a designer or architect pollish off your ideas .
If the property has a beautiful meadow do not build in the middle of it or run a driveway across it. Dumb city folk do this and you aint one. Right ?
Put a slope on the roof ! 4 in 1 pitches look ugly even in California. 6 in 12 or 8 in 12 is where the big action is.
Vinal siding...........was made for trailers. trailer folks applied it to their houses as they bought up and turned their houses into wantabe trailers.
Do not cut down ever friggin tree for the view. The trees are the view or part of it.
Do not build the house yourself. Get it built to lockup and then take a look at what you can do. The true cost starts from here in and if you have time its the best place to leave your mark.
Build a detached garage first ! You can build stuff for the interior and store all those high end doors in a dry place.
Plant the fruit trees the first year you buy the property.

not that I want to be bossy .
its yours right ?
If you want to live in a 48ford school bus jacked up on blocks with a chimney poked through the roof . Go for it.

Hugs and kisses
