If I could afford it, I would buy my next house in a place that is surrounded with breathtaking natural scenery.
The geographic location does not really matter (as to which country or continent), but I would really want a place where I can step out into beds of autumn leaves or powdery white snow.
This is because I love nature and its restorative powers. Nature is after all where the word "natural" is derived from, and I think it is somewhat unnatural for us to be in a concrete urban jungle with no contact with nature at all.

I am partially inspired by a blog by a family who lives on a homestead in rural Vermont, USA (https://www.frugalwoods.com/ check out this blog if you're free!). And also recent talks with a friend about travel to Iceland.
