Here's a question that occurred to me yesterday:

If you could create a new home, based on an existing fantasy/sci-fi/etc style, with money being no object, what would you choose to be the template?

Keep in mind, I'm talking physical appearance only, so if you choose the Enterprise from Next Generation you don't get to zip from planet to planet in a starship, nor do you get holodecks, replicator tech, or any of the other goodies. If you pick Rivendell from LotR you don't get magic or elves, and if you pick the Death Star from Star Wars you don't get to blow up planets.

We're just talking the aesthetic look of classic geek-related sets and locations from across all media. Which look really sums up what you would consider an ideal sort of place to live, if you had total freedom of design and construction?

The exterior would likely be a castle of some sort (probably an imposing one set atop a hill or mountain... preferably a little spooky-looking). The interior would be a mix of fantasy and scifi, because I like stone corridors and fully furnished dungeons but I like fancy indoor plumbing, comfortable accommodations, and high-tech electronics/appliances. I'd also likely have themed sections... although I guess that part doesn't fit into an existing mold?

Location-wise, I'd want it to be near rivers and a forest.... although I like eating out and also hate driving, so maybe a castle in the middle of a city (possibly in a forested area) would be cooler. Kinda like some of the things done in comics.

Of course, if we're going strictly something from media, possibly a non-supernatural version of Rose Red.
