But I would think living in a nice house would be more preferable than living in a log cabin on the beach.

There would be more to the decision, things like access to a city, an airport, cultural activities, and restaurants, but to me it would be an issue of making use of the space.
I've lived in homes that didn't cost close to $1M that were large enough we didn't use several of the rooms. I still paid for heating/AC and maintenance for those rooms but they didn't add have any value for me.
I've lived in a house where I had an incredible view across a valley to the snow-capped mountains beyond. The view cost nothing to maintain but I enjoyed it every day.
As long as it didn't require a lot of grass cutting, I would get more enjoyment from the property than I would from rooms that I never used.
