But I would someday like (no, LOVE) to live in a house from which I couldn't see any other houses and no one could see me, private enough to skinny-dip in the stream/pond, where I could raise chickens and goats and other miscellaneous critters - and not be allergic to them, or pollen, or anything else.

Ah, that is where my dream house would be located. Out in the middle of nowhere.lolAnd it would be several stories high, with balconies and I would look out, and ride on horseback, for miles and miles and never encounter another human being. And of course, I would keep lots and lots and lots of kitties to keep me company. And they would wear beautiful kitty charms made of solid gold and silver, and have gems, and each of my kitties would wear charms themed after who or whatever they're named in honor of.
