I suggested farm type houses to be included in phase 2 of my 3 phase release plan for Player Housing.

Phase 2: Pre-existing In-World Wilderness housing with material farms.
Wilderness housing would function similarly to the City Housing but would differ in a few ways. Purchasing the home may be a bit more difficult. Sometimes the homeowner may be in the house and might need some incentive to sell their home. Perhaps you rough them up a bit or make better arrangements for them in a nearby town, or track down their long lost lover so they want to leave. Perhaps these actions bring the asking price down a bit.

If the homeowner is not in or near the home, the player could receive a quest in the home, via a book or a note, which will take the player to the location of the Homeowner. In these instances the home may be overrun with creatures that the player will have to clear out in order to occupy the space.

The Incentive to these wilderness homes will be the “farming” aspect. Each home will be near a mine, a clearing, or will have a garden attached to the home.

The homes with mines will include a mine key, which the player receives upon purchasing the home. The player can then go into the mine and dig up Ore and Runes (for Blacksmithing and Enchanting). Mines could have multiple levels or areas that the player must work to reach. Perhaps there is an ore rich wall that must be mined many times in order to be broken down. Each of these mining sessions will yield ore, but not as much as an ore deposit. Additionally the wall could be mined a limited number of times a day depending on their rank in blacksmithing and/or Enchanting. Each new area would provide better ore and better runes and would allow the player to access the next ore wall to mine.

The clearings would operate similarly to the mine but perhaps it’s a scroll or an amulet that opens a magical door or portal to the clearing instead of a key. The clearing would be used to gather wood and reagents (for Woodworking and Alchemy). There should be a stream that runs through the clearing and multiple types of trees. Not every wood type is available in the clearing and the different tree types must be chopped down in order for the clearing to automatically yield better wood types. Each different type of tree could take a different amount of chops to activate. The same concept could be applied to aquifer springs around the clearing. The player could open aquifers that could allow the clearing to automatically yield better reagents for alchemy. These springs could also themselves yield different purities of water for the alchemic potions.

As for the gardens, which would be attached to the actual house, there should be a fence or wall around the garden that is high enough so that players cannot jump into the garden from the outside world. A gate should separate the garden from the main world since the garden would technically be part of the instanced home. Even so, they garden environment should reflect the day/night/weather of the zone to give the illusion of being “outside.” In these gardens, plants of the player’s choosing should be able to be grown. The plant types could be for either the provisioning or clothier line and players should be allowed to use a plant they currently have in their inventory to plant their crop. Let’s say the garden would have 10 rows of crops that can be planted. Each row must be tilled to increase that row’s production ability. While the row is being tilled, no crop can be planted. The higher the production ability of the row, the better the plant that can be cultivated.

It should take a very long time to bring each farming station to the next level of production. With daily limits to the activities a diligent player should be able to get to level 2/3/4/5 in 10/30/90/120 days respectively (this suggestion would have the player take total of 250 days to get their farm to max-yield).

There could also be regression tasks that, if not done regularly, could cause the farm to decrease in yield level. The mine could require reinforcements, the clearing could require the removal of leaves, and the garden could require pulling of weeds.

That would be really cool. Don't expect it to be implemented into the game for the next 5 years though.

I am not sure if mine is classed as a farming house idea as well but I'd like to see alot of effort and variety offered.
Housing
Resource building
PvP
PvE
customization
Different quests leading to different properties
Mini Games
ETC ETC my expectations for it are big but luckily i wrote up ways to bring each in.

My ideal system would be a kind of sandbox 'build your own home' system.

Instead of buying a house or a farm or a mine or whatever players buy an area of land (preferably instanced so the wilderness doesn't end up stuffed full of houses like in Ultima Online) and then they can build whatever they want within that.

One person might make the entire thing into a house and decorate it with furniture. Another might use it entirely to farm crafting materials and most people will probably do a bit of both; build a house at one end of the plot and use the rest for farming, or whatever they want.

Where is the i dont like option...such a biased poll.

@dafox187 @kkravaritieb17_ESO

Yeah, where is the option to say this idea is No Bueno? Biased Poll.

I dont like single player instanced content. Give us open world & group content instead of spending resources for housing etc. Also fix latency in EU, make a better LFG tool, fix Cyrodiil performance etc. This is what we mostly need, not housing...

I think farm houses would be interesting, as it could possibly be something that can be built up to something like an Estate, which could perhaps be completed by it upgrading itself overtime, or you have to put sufficient funds in to hire builders, or even finding the resources yourself (similarly to Hearthfire; the Skyrim DLC).

Furthermore, not only could this involve bringing in an income, but it could also allow for encounters, such as giants attacking your livestock or bandits invading your farm land and causing havoc to the farm workers, (again similar to Hearthfire, but it brings a more realistic element).

However, housing would obviously have to wait for ZOS to polish up PvP and bring out the other features they've already promised - if it ever were to happen.

Both types of housing would be good to have, not many options for alternate play in this game atm. The more sandbox elements introduced (including a comprehensive housing system) the more replayability the game gets.

@Danikat. I suggest a "Build your own home" mechanic in phase 3 of my 3 phase release plan for Player Housing.

An overview of the release plan:

Phase 1: Allow purchase of pre-existing homes within city boarders.
Phase 2: Allow purchase of pre-existing homes in the wilderness that have material farms attached to them.
Phase 3: Allow the purchase of in-world instanced plots of land where players will construct their own homes.

Pretty much says it all.

Also, not sure if he is saying he wants his "neat idea" to come before anything/everything else or not... would be interesting to know.

I liked being able to grow alchemy ingredients and fish in Skyrim. It didn't replace gathering in the wild or swimming in the lake at Riften but having a central location for all my crafting when all I felt like doing was crafting was good.

Does it matter? Housing is in development so can't we have a specific poll about what we who want housing want to see in said housing without it having to be placed into some mega list of what everyone wants and when? I truly do not believe that all the other improvements are regarded as less valuable by someone who wants housing to be flexible. I could not care less about endgame or PvP or duels but that doesn't mean I don't think those issues are unimportant. Everyone has their own wish list and if the poll/thread isn't concerned with yours don't read it.

@Gidorick , I may not agree with all your suggestions, but they are wonderfully detailed. You have a plan A, B, and C.

I like this kind of concept better than hirelings, or at least have a hireling work your homestead, whether it be on a mine, a fishery, a woodmill, a farm, etc.
