These things have an impact on your home selection. You may be great with a smaller kitchen, no dining room and a large outside space.

However at some point you will want two golf carts and you will always have a car and your garage will need to hold golf clubs and swim chairs and pickleball paddles and bicycles and any tools you use and storage for those things you only use once or twice a year and several other things I have missed. It is not possible to make your garage to big. Stretch it in every direction your lot will allow. Make it a 3 car garage with an added golf cart garage if possible. Make it longer, make it wider, make the attic ceiling higher, make it bigger in every direction. Make it double the size of your house if possible. Do all this and it might be large enough.
Please, please provide us with investment advice to make this happen!

If you have a plan that will make an average of 6% over the next twenty years
I am all in.
