mountain house, immediately
Even without the hot tub but especially with.
Initially, I imagined it’s a cozy cottage in the middle of nowhere, but then I remembered that Switzerland exists. You could totally have some shops only a few tram stops away.
Mountain house with a hot tub. Climate change and rising water levels makes a beachfront house a poor idea, and nobody sane would want to live in suburbia. You won’t have to deal with a HOA in the mountains, and who doesn’t want a hot tub with a magnificent view?
Soon the mountain house might be a beach house and crowded neighborhood.
Yeah, but figurative drowning still beats the literal kind. Barely.
A home in the mountains. Hot tub optional.
Becoming a mountain hermit is one of my pipe dreams, so easily the mountain. Hot tub is irrelevant but I guess if it’s included I’ll take it.
Mountain house what with the rising sea levels.
Came here to say that! Better investment imo
Beach house, without question. I spent my summers growing up on a lake. Every day I woke up to the light reflecting onto the ceiling from the waves. I fell asleep listening to waves lapping at the seawall. It’s probably the most content and relaxed I’ve ever been. Could just be nostalgia for a life (and the teenage lifestyle) and people long gone, but to live that way again when I retire is my fondest wish. Probably out of reach, but I can dream.
Lots of fucking spiders on and in a beach house, though, lol. I still have nightmares about the way you’d sometimes open the sliding glass door and three or four fat ones would immediately drop down, I guess drawn by the temperature difference? So listen, beach houses are fucking awful. None of you should want one. If you have one, you probably want to leave. I’d be willing to take it off your hands at a discount.
If we’re talking Pacific Ocean and no climate change yep that one hands down. No thanks to a pool, hot tubs can be fun but really just eh after a time. Beach is life man.
Mountain house and in pretty indifferent about the hot tub. I just want to be in the mountains.
Mountain House if solar/wind are feasible and I have sufficient clearing to grow my own food.
Otherwise, regular house.
I like mountains, hiking, biking, and I want to become self-sufficient where possible. And my wife wants cows and chickens, I don’t think they would do well on a beach, especially when sea levels start noticeably rising.
The first thing that came to mind when I read the question is maintenance lol. Salt is bad for a lot of things, and maintaining a pool is expensive. If the hot tub in the mountain was manual, probably that?
Could I get a mountain house without a hot tub? I don’t want to have to maintain one of those petri dishes.
Beach! Walk in that sand. Hear those waves. Plop your drink down anywhere and it’ll stand up. Take a dip. Enjoy as much as possible until humanity ruins every drop.
Most drinks will stand up anywhere you put them
Ha, attend enough bands in lots of local bars. I can assure you, lots of drinks end up on the floor. Plopping one on the beach is way better.
Is the house with a pool in a swamp, or possibly a bog?
Because you’re a witch?
Currently got a beach (holiday) house and I could never imagine switching it with a mountain house/cabin or just a pool. Waking up in the summer to the sound of sea gulls and taking a fresh morning bath in the ocean can’t be beat.
A mountain cabin would be the second choice. I got an uncle who built his own cabin in the mountains after retiring, it’s nice and quiet, but other than hikes there’s isn’t much to do.
Just go to the local swimming hall if you want a pool.
Mountain one. The tub would sit unused, but the hot water would be useful
