What a fun idea! I love the answers so far (thankfully the like button is working!)
For me.. well, the mansion is definitely in an area with wildlife. But not hot or humid.
Inside there is definitely an aircon lol.
Who's with me? 🤔 a cleaner, a chef, a close friend who likes wildlife, a friend who is a wildlife guide, and perhaps my mother?

@Jynx I have taken down most of the mansion so that only functional areas are left to reduce cleaning and also I can recycle the stuff, like use the wood in my wood fire.
I have kept a beautiful room that I can observe nature all around and of course I have kept or built verandahs all around 360degree verandahs.
I would take my dogs who will be re-animated to their younger selves in this world.
I will take lots of books and heaps of gardening type stuff to limit the need for air-lifting things because I don't want to add to environmental damage.
I might actually have a wing where a younger version of my reanimated Dad to help me with all the practical aspects and to enjoy nature with.
I will have a piano that I can learn to play and lots of top quality photography gear and crafty things that I can learn to do.

@Oaktree love this!! Especially the waterfall, always soooo mesmerising!
@Snowie love the idea of a mansion rich in history!!
@MissGremlin nice imagination flex hehe. The idea of a trampoline/velcro room is SO GOOD!! Totally would come with ya hehe
@AlwaysMyself agree - no hot or humid for me either!!
I think my mansion would be in a rainforest too. But an alpine one, like in Tassie! So many trees and misty foggy mornings, but also mountains and occasional snow!
It would have rumpus rooms, gaming rooms, several libraries, craft rooms, sports fields/courts, an archery range, and a giant lake in which we can swim in the warmer months! Then it would freeze over in the winter and we could ice skate!
I think I would bring my partner, my bestie and his partner, and then like...some really funny celebs like Danny DeVito and Weird Al Yankovic - for the endless funnies ahaha

@Jynx ,
Mine would be in amazing woodland with a lake on one side and a creek on the other side with a campfire spot
And I would have my husband, D1, SIL and grandson and granddaughter

Yes agree @Shaz51 @Jynx need an outdoor fire spot as well.
I like the idea of the waterfall @Oaktree but I would not have it too close to house as I want to be able to hear rain on roof (so would have a tin roof) and the bird song.
I would have the ability to have music @MissGremlin but not on all the time and never too loud, so I can hear the natural sounds

@Jynx, Jynxy my love, do I have to include the cleaner and chef in my 5 people? If so I'd best rule out the pool boy and gardener!
I can't really think of the 5 people, I listed my family and there are actually more than 5 people I like in my family (which was a shock).
I know I'd want a tropical setting, I'd want a green house and a library for sure.

@Till23 good point, still want to hear natural sounds like rain and thunder ☺️
