> Detached home ownership is the dream, the more land it comes with, the better.

Not everyone wants to live in the country or the suburbs. I wouldn't live there if you paid me.

As a country dweller I feel the same about the city. The city is an ugly, noisy, filthy hive of madness.

Sure, that's your personal preference and to each their own. The market speaks otherwise. Detached homes are the most desirable section of the real estate market based on consumer surveys, see the greatest growth in value compared to other real estate over the medium to long term and are basically recession proof. Even in the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the average loss was 10-15% in market value, which was recouped over the next five years.
