Seems like a mountain home would be more private. I'm going with that.

Mountain house and it is not even close for me. There is nothing I like better than standing in an icy cold high mountain stream fly fishing. A mountain house is useable many more months of the year.

Beach house for sure, although I would love to vacation regularly to a mountain cabin.

I've had both ... until just recently.

I sold the house on the Isle of Palms.

I kept the house near Roan Mountain.

The decision was a no-brainer on so many levels.

We've done this before.

OT says mountains by a landslide.

Better choice is a nice Southern fresh water lake, where you can actually swim without getting blue balls. For example, Smith Mountain lake in Virginia below. I keep my boat at Lake Anna and can see mountains from the north end, but not as picturesque as this.

Mountain for shtf scenario. Beach, nowhere to hide or defend yourself. Mob will be taking beach owners and their family out in no time

My life goal is to retire to a Mexican beach village but I do love mountain cabins.
I lost the ability to swim in the ocean too so I think I would choose mountain now.

Mountain…unlikely to get wiped out by a hurricane in Colorado.

Mountain house near a small lake or creek.

I split time between Florida and Colorado. I worry about my house in Florida way more. From an ownership perspective I think a beach house is way overrated. As for activities I lean towards the mountains as well. I like aspects of both, but if I had to chose I’d live in a mountain town and vacation in a beach resort town.

Mountain house if proximity is same. However, I’d have to fly to the closest mountains.

It's my dream to one day own a unit at the Portofino on Pensacola Beach

Mountains are fun too though. Really enjoy nature's views.

Beach House.... Baby... Beach House...

When you live as far inland as Memphis You can't wait to get to the Redneck Rivera every summer.

I would have said beach when I was younger, but as I get older I would have to pick mountain.
