To me, my dream place is 20 acres in the woods, preferably with a high deer and turkey population, and no coyotes.
i grew up on 8 acres of land in the woods, went to an urban college and law school and lived in the city, now i live in the suburbs. i am happy where i am, i wouldn't mind more land, but i still would want to be accessible to a decent sized city, for shopping purposes if for no other reason : )
