Modern, self-sufficient, off-grid, passive house. Somewhere in a semi-remote location (1~2 hour drive to a large city). Rain tank for water. Minimal solar set-up for electricity, keeping the number of appliances down to the bare minimum. Propane for a built-in stove.
While I can appreciate the charm of a classic building style like a log cabin, I feel like it's naive and dumb to not fully utilize all of the technological advancements that we've made in the past 200 years. You can have a low ecological footprint and be self-sufficient, but still use modern and smart materials and techniques to do so.
