I like the idea of having a low maintance place in the city and a chunk of Earth an hour or two out. My plan is to get a condo or townhome for a city home and eventually get 10-40 acres out in Palo Pinto.
I'd love to have a cozy cottage somewhere in the Hill Country... and maybe one in Michigan for summertime use, too.
And an apartment in New York...
...and a flat in Paris...
