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.

The airport proximity is a must for us.we deplore opulent homes with opulent lawns
We don’t play golf or croquet so what’s with the lawn thing?and why do people enslave themselves to their lawn?we chose our larger tv home with the smallest front lawn we could find - and a backyard large enough for our solar and wind powered clothes dryer - a long rope.
We’re looking into alternatives to
Lawns - they are botanically a desert.
