5000 acres of combined forest/farm land. Build a castle (yes, cinderella/neuswander type spires, drawbridge, etc, preferably crossed with true medieval fortess style no windows other than slits at ground level type) in the center of the land, minimum of 3 foot thick stone work for the outter walls, at least 4 stories built downward for underground fortifications/storage, at least 5 stories above ground since the first 3 wouldn't have any windows or ports of entry/egress except the primary door and a small sallyport/servants entance in the back hidden by ballustraded walls. Set up a year round recreation village surrounding the base of the castle wall, and the rest of the 5000 acres to be used for farming and ranching to support both the castle and village. Set everything up so that it's truely self sufficient - including it's own power generation facility hidden from easy view/access, and utilizing a combination of Wind/Solar (and depending on the location of the property) and Hydro - completely green, and no use of fosil fuels. Since it's all private property, rather than a township, I set my own rules for the property and can be a benevolent dictator, essentially becoming a modern day landed noble.
