If you lived in a big 3000 sq foot 🏡 would you be happy and content?

For me it is about the location more so than the size. I had a house about that size on a nice wooded lot. It was in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It wasn't an ideal floor plan, but I loved living there.

We moved from there to the suburbs in the midwest. The house was slightly bigger and I loved the floorplan, but I hated living with my neighbors right on top of me, and no nature view. We moved again, this time to Florida and now I am back in the woods and I have my open floor plan. The house is smaller and I have no problem with that. As any realtor will tell, location, location, location!

Not unless I had a fleet of cleaners and handymen to maintain it for me. I'm pretty happy in my little shoe box.

I personally prefer a smaller home :) because I'm a bit compulsive when it comes to cleaning... And that much space would drive me nuts:/ I just want my home to feel like home and be on the water :) and smell good. My last home was 1299 square feet ( excluding basement cos we don't count them " it was perfect :) the house I'm moving into is much larger ... So I'm kinda scared :) BUT ITS ON THE WATER !!!! BAAA--- AAAM :)

I'm not sure that there is enough space in there. Would this include servant's quarters?

I would finally have room for all my books!!! Bring on the 3,000!

Too much cleaning

We had a humongous house when the 4 kids were little but as they began leaving, we started to downsize and now I'm in a small house.

Oh yea!I'd be plenty happy and content.

I guess it depends on one's own definition of big, but the Z palace here in Fla is larger still, and we've been happy in it for many years. I think its less the size of the space than how it serves you that's important.
