My dream house in the countryside
Even though living in the city is much easier in terms of accessibility, in my heart the only thing I want is a garden to grow plants and flowers and to raise at least 4 cats. When I grow up I really want to live the cottagecore lesbian dream.
Icelandic countryside
If I’ll ever have enough money I will buy a lonely little farm in the middle of nowhere in Iceland with a couple of sheep and I will make and sell cheese and grow my own fruit and vegetables. It’ll probably never happen, but a girl can dream. Chiara Di Palma
Dream house
My dream house is in mountain in a small village or maybe in a desert place where there are only woods and animals. I prefer live there to the comfort of the city because in mountain there is silence and a beautiful landscape.
My dream house
My dream house is a large villa overlooking the sea. I would like to live surrounded by nature and vegetation, in contact with the local animals. My ideal house should be very spacious and modern. I would like to live in this house because I love the sea and summer, and in this way I could live my favorite season all year round. Vanessa Possa
My dream house
My dream house is a big and spatious mansion overlooking the sea. I would like to have a beachfront house so that i would always feel as during the summer. My house must have a lot of big windows to let in plenty of natural light and offer stunning views of the sunset. Sara Sironi
My ideal house
My ideal home is a white villa in Greece overlooking the sea, with a stunning view of the sea and the sunset, with a swimming pool and a garden with flowers and well-kept plants. I really like the sea and the sun so the marine environment is perfect, on the other hand I like the company and therefore my ideal home should not be isolated in the middle of nature, far from civilization, but close to a city or a seaside village surrounded by other houses.
My dream house
The house I would like to live in is a big house by the sea. If I lived in a beach house, I could witness beautiful sunsets and hear the sound of the waves, especially when it's rough. I also could easily take walks on the shore and swim in the sea all year round. Martina Fontana
My dream house
My dream home is an apartment that's not too small or too big in a big city, like London or New York. I would like it to be spacious and well lit. I would also like to make it cozy and comfortable with a nice sofa, some plants with a little touch of vintage. Finally, I would also like to have a café under my house so I can have a coffee every morning. Arianna Rosso
My dream house
I would love to live in this kind of house: an apartment in the city surrounded by plants. In this way I would still be able to be in contact with nature while still living in the city.
Mickey's House
Oh! Hello, folks! What's up? It's me, Mickey. Hey, you guys wanna come see my new house? That makes me happy. That's great! Forwards! Oh oh, I almost forgot the main thing. To make my house appear you must first say the magic words: meeska moska Mickey Mouse! Say it with me: meeska moska Mickey Mouse!
My Dream House
My dream would be a villa in the south of France. It shouldn't be too far from the city, but far enough to avoid all the city's inconveniences. The décor should be a marriage of sea and nature with a pool before arriving at the garden. The nearest neighbors should be at least 350 kilometers away. At dawn, the sound of birdsong should be heard, and there should be no cars or infrastructure to detract from the serenity.
dream house
My dream home will be located in a tree in a warm, exotic forest.
A winter dream House
This house in the countryside is located near of the northern countries and it gathers the modernity from the city and the peace in the countryside. Inside the building there is a lot of rooms which can welcome à lot of people and that house will be composed with à swimming pool and a heating to avoid diseases. That house is near the roads in order to acces the main activities of the large city.
Dream House
My dream home would be a villa bordered by the sea and a white sandy beach. I'd be able to come into contact with different elements of nature when out in my garden: the plants, the sweet smell of salt water and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks. In my garden there would be a swimming pool in which there's also a Jacuzzi. I'd sit on the edge, under the sun, glistening to take care of my melanin, lulled by the sound of the ocean.
Maldive house
Maldive house
My dream home would be in the Maldives. An island in South Asia. My house would face the sea to watch the sunset every day, look at the stars and listen to the waves. But also a garden at the back to feel nature close to the sea.
