Forsaken Stronghold (DC - East Evermore)

Voting Forsaken Stronghold because I own it but I love the look of Mistveil too.

Strident Springs Demesne (AD - Arenthia)

Was basically a tie with Hundings. But I prefer a more temperate climate as opposed to scorching desert. That was the clincher.

Dawnshadow (AD - Dune)

Purchased Gardner house initially, but need more yard and sun lights.
After viewing each house, Dawnshadow caught my eye, beautifully built, nice outdoor space, perfect.

Strident Springs Demesne (AD - Arenthia)

The layout of the house is terrible but I love the waterfall and the tower overlooking the nearby town.

Forsaken Stronghold (DC - East Evermore)

I love all the houses but Forsaken Stronghold and Hundings pretty much tie top for me followed by Old Mistveil and Mathiiesen and Quondam and Strident, all in second place. The rest all take third place. There is something to love about all the houses.

Hundings Palatial Hall (DC - Port Hunding)

Super tough call between Hundings Palatial Hall and Forsaken Stronghold, but as much as I love the brutish fortress, the fancy beach house gets the win for me.

Oh, and I'm hoping to eventually get both of them (plus a few others), but for now I've blown all my gold on Daggerfall Overlook.

Strident Springs Demesne (AD - Arenthia)

Strident Springs Demesne. I love the waterfall and pond, and the Colovian style is v. nice.

Hundings Palatial Hall (DC - Port Hunding)

Hundings is my favorite by far. it might be my favorite house of all of them (unless the khajiit one had some water around it). I like redguard architecture, and I love the climate/environment in stros mkai/alikr desert/southern bangkorai even more. and it has a pool

Strident Springs Demesne (AD - Arenthia)

I personally own strident springs, so I voted for it, but I do find it very dark compared to some other homes.

Old Mistveil Manor (EP - Riften)

I like old mistveil manor, nice Nordic design and right outside of riften. I also like how my imperial knight statue looks in the courtyard!

Hundings Palatial Hall (DC - Port Hunding)

I bought Hundings, but I also really like Mistveil. Hundings won because of the much larger space to work with and all the water.

Tasear

Stay-Moist Mansion (EP - Alten Corimont)

Lives near a temple, enjoying fresh whether while living a round not square house made out of mud not stone.

Strident Springs Demesne (AD - Arenthia)

Strident Springs.

Love the outdoor space and the waterfall. Doesn't feel claustrophobic either. The inside might be a little small, but I love the layout with the separate rooms. Made it super easy to decorate.

Second place is Hundings. Love everything except the rear balcony thing (feels so out of place). Also not a fan of the totally arid exterior which means no room for a lush garden (with Strident Springs, you can create a Mediterranean/California-style garden).

Dawnshadow (AD - Dune)

Looks like the waterfall house is winning the crowd.

Forsaken Stronghold (DC - East Evermore)

Forsaken Stronghold, I love the outdoor size as well as the castle like inside. It's dark and a nice size. I do hope they add some sort of future storage system even if it's only 50 items. Anything to help, as they keep on adding more and more sets :P

Gardner House (DC - Wayrest)

For me it was a toss-up between Gardner House and Mistveil Manor. I spent a lot of time in all the large homes before deciding. I liked all of the following but ended up not choosing them for various reasons:

Forsaken Stronghold has a lot of space but just too much stone; it feels cold and impersonal. Stident Springs has a nice exterior but has a terrible interior layout and is way too dark inside. Dawnshadow was a no because Khajit architecture is too stylized for me and the wood on their buildings look like they have black mold. I hate deserts so Hundings Palatial was off the list, just too much sand everywhere. Mistveil Manor I ultimately felt was too rustic for my character even though I really liked the place and the location.

I ended up going with Gardner House because I felt it had the best interior layout and most usable space of all the large homes. The courtyard isn't huge but I made it work by lining it with trees and dreamshards and installing a fountain--it looks like a walled secret garden now. It's right in the middle of Wayrest too, so I'm never porting anywhere to do business, I just walk outside one of my three doors and there everything is.

Almost all of the Large houses are really nice and, if fact, many are nicer than the fantastically expensive three Notable homes. Sadly, they are all gimped by the too small twelve player cap, the same as the Medium sized homes. This makes no sense as they are all nearly as large as the Notable homes and it feels like this player cap was set in order to punish players for not being willing to shell out for one of the far more expensive twenty-four player cap homes they may not even want to begin with.

I can't choose between Mistvail Manor and Forsaken Stronghold. That's why I haven't gotten either yet!

I have always liked both Rift and Bangorai as zones, and both houses have some advantages. Mistvail is both cozy and spacious enough, feels like a potentially luxurious log cabin. Forsaken Stronghold is majestic, with careful furnishing and decorations it could look both imposing and beautiful.

Originally I wanted to get Gardner House, but the outside is just too small for my liking. Maybe if it had a balcony.

Hundings Palatial Hall (DC - Port Hunding)

I really need to get out and look at more of the houses.

I'm still working on furnishing the small one I've got.

Quondam Indorilia (EP - Mournhold)

I really like Quandum, also Chateau but it endlessly bothers me that there is no place for that master fisher boat. Yucks. So probably I'll just buy Hundings, even if I don't like deserts.

Forsaken Stronghold (DC - East Evermore)

I haven't bought one yet, but I love the stronghold. I can't decide if I want to spend the money or not. I've been thinking of just getting Mournoth keep until some new houses come out. I really want to be located in a remote region with a stronghold/keep/castle/base type of dwelling. Here's hoping to more craglorn and wrothgar homes.

Strident Springs Demesne (AD - Arenthia)

Definitely Springs.

After watching some previews on youtube this was a must for me. Lovely outside. Waterfall. Imperial building with good layout inside. Bought it instantly.

Well said, I feel forsaken stronghold is really cool and had the space I need but too much stones.
Gardner house is a good place to display all my achievements, but space run out quickly for my other creative room ideas, just a bit too small for a large home.

Looks like the beach house is winning the crowds by far.

Dawnshadow (AD - Dune)

EP houses need some love, only the snow mountain Worthy of mentioning.

Hundings Palatial Hall (DC - Port Hunding)

As a Redguard, I'm only buying the Redguard themed houses so...

Hunding's Palatial Hall.

Hundings Palatial Hall (DC - Port Hunding)

Of the list I would have to Say Hundings. I do like the slightly larger Daggerfall Overlook a little better, but Hundings is a close second for my preference.
