In Montana, that would buy you a 64 acre ranch with a two-horse barn and a red-headed cowgirl to help run the place.

What's your choice, Mr Moderator?

Good question, Jake. Since I'm planning to stay in Oregon I'd better get used to high prices for small houses on postage stamp lots . . . and better buy soon, as the prices go up every few months.

To get to my house one crosses the little bridge as the creek is a run-off from Loomis Lake and is filled with river otters, blue herons, variety of ducks. Salmon also swims in the creek. The creek is mixed with salt water and fresh water.

The forest surronds my 3 acre of land with douglas firs, western pine, oak with coastal moss attached to it. There is an opening that reveals the Cove. With the 'big'house'- a duplex with the office, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, living room with 2 fireplaces is the one I live in. I have 2 big picture windows that look into the Cove. In the middle of the Cove are wild azaleas, coastal rhodendrons, lavendar and bamboo.

In the Cove there are 11 beach cottages that we rent out to people that want to vacation at the beach. The 11 beach cottages sit in a semi-circle and each one has a different theme. Cottage #1 is a two bed that is dedicated to Flowers-- hence, "Flower Power." Cottage #2 is a one bedroom with a nice size kitchen and can be rented out as a two bed cottage as it has a hide-a-bed and is affectionately called, "Ruby Montana- Western". Cottage # 3 is a two bed cottage and is dedicated to the Native Americans that lived in this area-- the Chinook Indians--"Native American Cottage". Cottage #4 is also a two bed cottage and has the same lay out as numbers #2, #3, and is deidcated to our furry friends-Cats- hence "the Kitty Cottage."

Then there is an opening and then three cottages #5, #6, #7 , all side by side with a carport in between then except for #6, #7 as it is a shared carport.

#5-- is dedicated to women that first saved this place-- hence the name "The Goddess". Cottage #6 is dedicated to man's best friend--dogs --hence the name, "The Dog House". Cottage #7 is dedicated to the American bald eagles that we see on a daily basis here in the Cove, flying above us--"The Eagles Nest".

Then there is another opening revealing a memorial tree for those that have come here and passed away and people want them to be remembered. It borders the creek with a little trail to a grassy patch area where one can sit and reflect.

Cottage #8 and #9 are one bed cottages with #8 dedicated to birds--hence-"The Birdhouse". #9 is "Angels Among us" as we believe that there are angels among us. Cottage #10 is the only two-bedroom and is "Retro-Hollywood".

Then after one settles in and walks towards the path that is along Cottage #1--they will see another modern cottage--the Annex--"Honeymoon Suite"--off to the side as well as 3 garages for all of our toys, mostly yard tools, and along the path, they will see the flower meadow with an arbor. Also a big green garbage can in a cage as the cage is to prevent the wildlife from entering the garbage can.

The path is protected by heavy forest canopy

After walking 600 footsteps- through the forest and across the sand dunes--one will be kissed by the mist of the Ocean.

Oh yes.....you can bring your dogs here for a visit.

Oh, you are a rental business owner on your property for the summer. That's nice. I believe that you live in State of Washington. Gee, you have 11 cottages. It is a lot of work for you to clean them up, and dealing with someone doesn't pay the dues. My sister has similar for the business. Hey, do you ever seen a bigfoot in your area?Q

Do you use any of green energy for your house?

Cowpuppy · 04-06-2008, 10:03 PM

Would like a small house...a natural house. Low maintenence for me. Fixed a home up and fix homes for work. Nuff of that. Simple.....quaint...cozy...I like bold colors with natural earth tones. stone floors...... natural yard.......swimming pool yup...suana....maybe a music studio downstairs.....out of town space with some mountain view.

EagleCherokee63 · 04-10-2008, 03:58 AM

Excite!! You can put scrapbook start it... I have a scrapbook new building a house till done. It very important good memory! Why not? you love scrapbook!!

JClarke · 04-11-2008, 07:27 AM

I have heard about the torandoes in your area, ScubaladyTx, I hope it is not affecting your new house??

rdasilvari · 05-19-2008, 08:48 PM

I'm into adaptive reuse.

I would like a huge loft space for my residence and studio (not so much a "traditional house").

Manhattan style - aka industrial chic. Lots of original stainless steel fixtures/cabinets, original hardwood floors (wood planks), original exposed brick, white minimalist walls (for my art collection).

Maybe convert an old style warehouse (or maybe a church) into one loft space? Something like 35,000 sq ft of pure nothing but gleaming hardwood floors, sunlight, and columns. Something with lots of character and charm. Very elegant.

Should also have nice sweeping city views too.

Unfortunately for me, such a thing is around $9 MIL.

But nonetheless, it was a nice dream.

Sounds very peaceful and calming.

Would any of you live in these?

They're quite interesting.

I wouldn't mind one of those if I had a second house.

That is pretty creative to have a container homes and offices. Something different.

That's what I like.

It would be interesting having a house where every room is perfectly proportioned.

A standard cargo container is 20' x 8' x 8' (LxWxH).

My current bedroom is approximately 20' x 15' x 8'. I could take 2 cargo containers and make one room. For a nice big living room, I could use 3 cargo containers. If I put a 3rd cargo container next to my bedroom, I could use half as the bathroom and half as my closet.

I think that's a brilliant idea!

Uh? It sounds that you are eating a lot of food... Just kidding. Are you preferring to a modular home?

Foxrac · 05-28-2008, 11:45 PM

I have other feeling about my dream home would own nice small to medium house in good area in southwest USA, including with Texas, however southeast USA has better house price and more affordable than other regions, it's okay for me but not for everyone.

Blue light room is ideal for bedroom

Red light room is ideal for brothels

Green light room is ideal for gardener's

Normal light room is everyday to use!!

And add another cargo container for kitchen, dinning room. As you do need a kitchen and place for foods/drinks.

(Actually, I know someone does that for his home. He is adding additional building for the 3rd time.)

i.e. "I could take 2 cargo containers and make one room. For a nice big living room, I could use 3 cargo containers."

Bottesini · 05-29-2008, 09:17 AM

A downtown condominium in a high rise building on an upper floor. Be right by all restaurants, store, library. Very convenient.

Actually, the house I am in right now... all rooms are 20' x 15'.

Even if I were to make my room out of only one cargo container, it wouldn't be good for my guests who are visiting me. If it was an office, I could do with one container since I would only have a desk and some shelves... maybe a television. With a bedroom, I've got shelves, dressers, bed, and television. So, more room would be needed. To make the cargo containers work out right, I can't just cut one cargo container in half... using 1 and a half. That would leave the other half 20' long and 4' wide. That's not enough room for anything else.
