If you have a lot of money, the best strategy is not to build a McMansion, but instead build a smaller, quality home that is durable, with very low and easier maintenance, high efficiency, very conservative with water and power, and flexible enough for internal and external redesign.

The idea is to create a home that can function with little money for hundreds of years, in a place not prone to future development, relatively safe from natural disasters, and out of sight, out of mind of government.

I have a recurring daydream of buying a lot of land in Texas or perhaps Tennessee and building one of those concrete dome homes for my golden years. One level, modest, secure. And not ridiculously expensive from the little bit of looking I've done online.
