I would live in a hobbit house built into the side of a hill in the forest... As close to the Pacific Ocean as I could get....close enough to walk to the water's edge somewhere where there was beach instead of cliff-drop.
The front-door-side wall(s) would be brick or stone (help with keeping warm in winter, cool in summer), as close to the ocean as I could find a suitable hill. I would have a fireplace at the back deep under the hill with a chimney poking out of the ground randomly at the top.
Would be one- story, or else have gentle spiralling sloped ramps instead of stairs winding around the the outside walls to create two levels...would have the dimensions so the ramp started at the side of the front door and was tall enough to not block the entry at all, and have windows arranged around it (above and below as appropriate).
It would be mostly open space, not overly divided by inner walls, and I would have very few cupboards with doors (or the cupboard doors would all be glass pane with only as much wood frame as absolutely necesary so that I could see everything).
Bathroom would have clawfoot bathtub.
Floors would be hardwood sealed with hemp or walnut oil, and marmoleum or similar modern-day actual linseed oil based linoleum-type tiles cut into interesting geometric design or abstract image of my own in design in damp areas. (Can you tell I spent years of my life learning about natural building materials and methods and designing imaginary houses in my notebooks and my mind?)
Would use limestone paint, probably.
I would build it circular so I could have lots of windows on the front-door side wall while still having it be a hobbit-house.
If I wanted extra insulation I would use wool treated with borates (to keep it from growing mould and being eaten by bugs).
And I would have an adult-sized set of playground equipment (tire swing, regular swings, ropes-course-type things like a short zip-line , monkey bars, all built in among the trees and using the trees -- not like cutting them all down, more like using the trunks and any large sturdy branches as main posts whenever I could without hurting the tree at all)
And I would have a little tree house with a floor-hatch door, and open-able glass windows, and simple desk/table and comfy seating and all my art supplies and maybe a few portable musical instruments (really big things like a piano or drum kit would be inside my hobbit house...I would, since money is no object, have every instrument I have ever wanted to try to play).
And I would have little dispersed garden plots of vegetables among the trees but not directly under nor directly adjacent my adult-sized playground stuff. Would maybe mark them and fence them off with wildlife fence and paint the posts bright colors (some or all posts could, like parts of my adult-sized playground stuff, be actually living trees).
Would plant climate appropriate fruit trees and berry shrubs, too. Maybe graft interesting fruit cultivars onto genetically compatible trees near my house.
Would have solar panels for electricity.
Ideally would be near a non-polluted source of potable water like a stream or small river... (would be fine if it was only potable after boiling or being pumped through a reverse osmosis filter).
I want to be an eccentric hermit, basically
