Farm House for me.

Love the Beach House, but I wouldn't want to live on the beach.  

Whichever one is closest to the city. I would enjoy a visit to any of these but I have no interest in living full time away from the convenience of the city.

Mountain cabin.

I love the beach but the older I get, the less I can tolerate extreme heat. Living at the beach through the summer doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Beach house, easy. 

Give me the mountain cabin.

Beach house as long as I can decide the beach to put it on.

Lake house every single day and it’s not even close. 

The beach is great, but maintenance on a beach house is a full time job.  I'd rather live in a farmhouse or lake house 45 minutes from the beach so I could visit whenever I wanted.  I'd have to say a lake house would be my preference.

Farm house

Hard for me to say, because a lot depends on location.  There'd be some lakes that I'd prefer over others, same way with the mountains.  So basically, good lake > bad mountains, but also good mountains > bad lake.

And, ultimately, if I had to pick my dream site...it'd be the mountain cabin...sitting next to a lake.

The lake house where I live, right now. ?

By the way, I lived in a beach house. @rjs4470 is right. Sand and salt air. It is a lot of work to maintain.

This is my only thought process with this question which is why I am picking the mountain cabin. Two of the options have water nearby which seems to be more of a hassle, and yeah, the sand/salt in the air with the beach. A farm house sounds like I am maintaining multiple acres. No thanks.

Now if I had unlimited money/resources where someone could maintain the grounds, I would vote for the beach house.
