A good sized library is a must. It should be situatuated in a better climate than here but still be sweden ... (I know its impossible but its a dreamhouse) The wraparound porch sounds nice. A good study room. Some space for inviting and housing guests. And, if allowed, someone to come in a couple of times a week to keep everything tidy. A bathroom with a nice tub, not pool a garage to be used as a storage place since i dont drive. A really cozy bedroom.

Dana & Kurben battle it out against Grandpa & swiftdog2.0 !!!!!!!!!

Well, if it's a battle with dream cars, I get that Acura!

My tastes are wide-ranging, that's all, and my current car is a joy. 171,000 miles, and all but one or two hundred are mine, and this poorly engineered American car is still running like new. :D

(Disclaimer: The Saturn has an Ecotec engine which was a multinational engineering effort in which Saab and Opel were two of the partners. So it's got some Sweden pedigree, Kurben.)

I had many dreams about my future home.
At first, it should use a green energy: solar panels on the roof, a wind-driven generator outside. It should be so much autonomous as it possible. That is why i'd make a water borehole as well.
We have a cold winter and moist autumn, thus it's necessary to build a reliable heating system. I'd rather choose gas heater, it's able to warm both radiators and water for other purposes. For that reason i'd install a oil gas tank.
There are some of my ideas about survivalist home :)

I know that it sounds lavish but I would like a swimming pool, a tennis court, a basketball court, a library and a video arcade room (full of arcade machines). I would also love to have a dog or a cat living there with me (hadn't had either as pets yet).
