Where exactly would you live if you won the Lottery?

Im afraid I can’t bring myself to post the link 😂I’m too terrified someone will steal it off me. It’s a very modest 3 bedroom bedraggled cottage that is only accessible on foot, down a private road.
However, if you walk around the side of the house to the back garden you find it opens out into a huuuuge back garden, wild flowers everywhere and a lovely sundial right in the centre. The end of the garden drops down into a private beach, from which you can watch the yaughts pull in to the next town overs’ quay.
It has natural beehives in its dilapidated dove house, and there’s a stray sheep and her lambs who have escaped there from a nearby farm and now live there full time.
It’s been empty for about 40 years and I visit it very early in the morning ☺️

Quite like the look of this place, this would be my UK base and then somewhere in France, plus a little flat somewhere nice in London.

Cap Ferrat.

Ooh I like this. Edinburgh would be my place of choice (love London, NY and Berlin but practically I would have friends here) but I couldn’t find anything on Rightmove that floated my boat enough to be classed as a dream home. A New Town townhouse or Quartermile penthouse would be lovely, but like the space here and proximity to Botanics.

Jersey would be nice and if you have a few million to spend you can bypass their residency restrictions eg here: https://www.broadlandsjersey.com/property/creux-du-rocher/

But ideally I'd like an EU country with a golden visa (though I think they're gradually getting rid of those).

I wouldn’t want to move from my area. It’s incredibly convenient yet quiet,we have great neighbours and friends nearby, I love it. I’d do up our house to within an inch of its life, perhaps add a loft conversion, or if a larger extended house came on the market in our area, maybe buy it.

I wouldn't want to own any other properties - too much work. I'd just rent lovely villas etc, and book into fancy hotels when I wanted to travel/holiday

Nice larger house around the corner, and a small beach cottage on Dungeness.

I’m not sure I’d move to be honest. I live about 500m from the beach in a detached four bed house with a big garden. I wouldn’t want a house any bigger than this one because that would mean even higher council tax, more maintenance, many more hours spent cleaning.

What I would do though is spend a big chunk on the house to get it exactly how we’d like it.

I’m not sure I would move, but I’d buy a nice villa in Portugal plus squander huge amounts on luxury holidays. (If my dc are lucky I might buy them a house and car each, see how I’m feeling 😁)

I think about this a lot 😁 I will buy a house in Belgravia, I will have a driver who will take me to Heathrow or Battersea Heliport for my holidays. I will also have a home where I can see the sea, maybe Southwold or Walberswick.

Sure, this is the place. It needs a custodian, and I’m just right for the job.
Wouldn't make many changes, it needs a new and better quality conservatory, new kitchen, there’s a conspicuous lack of bathroom pics that makes me suspect at least one avocado suite, and a bit of upstairs rejiggring to make fewer bedrooms and some bigger en-suites/dressing rooms. Maybe a bit more insulation, new heating system, and the secondary double glazing looks a bit old. I’d love to give it a very sympathetic renovation, I’d happily chuck another £500k at it.
My lottery win house

Villa in Adeje for winters.

A townhouse in the west end of Glasgow for summers.

The house I live in now for the rest of the year.

Are homes for people useless?

I'd live here and write my novel.

I'm home to be needing more than one property. So I believe we'd do as follows;

Main family home, near our existing home and community https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/171114656

Highland retreat https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/172621793

Cornish holiday home https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161787467

Then maybe a place in the south of France, and one in Colorado for skiing? The alps are closer but easier to get extended family together in Colorado.

I'm gonna need a bigger lottery prize tbh.......

Holiday house. Wouldn't live full time (city girl) but a castle for parties and adventures. Yes please. I'd keep the entrance hall with the suits of armor and things and then make all the bedrooms and bathrooms really modern and nice like a boutique hotel.

The same place I plan to live (Lake District), but a nicer house, not too big, 5-6 beds. A housekeeper to sort it out when I go on my numerous holidays.

I'm not too fussed about a grand mansion, I'd rather have somewhere modest and homely for when I get back.

That's true. They spent so much money on the house and then the kitchen is just so meh?!

Oooh that's wonderful. I would have to change the kitchen but it's very beautiful.

Can’t find the dream but something like this, I would have to stay local to family & friends.

maybe a flat in town & definitely a beach house

I'd stay where I am but it would be lovely to be able to be up and gone whenever I wanted.

Oh my goodness😍😍😍

Oh! Or the home alone house in Chicago. The actual real one. Though I'm not hugely a fan of Chicago so maybe that would just be a holiday house. And I'd get it redecorated to be like the film. And run tours / sleepovers.
