Spend your money on property where you can landscape and have a big lawn to mow. It's bad enough that newer houses tend not to have attics and/or basements.

I also prefer older styled houses and "plantation columns. I won't go on that rant.
You have to build close if you live in any sort of a city these days, could you imagine the property taxes you'd pay on an acre lot in Houston or dallas proper? If I was to build new I'd build uber-modern, off the grid, fabulousness....

That depends on how much you can afford and what parts of the city you want to live in.

I love that house. I'm guessing that's in the Bee Caves area of Austin.

I'm not sure but that trendir site features amazing home designs from all over the world. I've seriously found about 20 dream homes of mine on that site.
