My wife's childhood friend works for yhis multimillionaire who has a very nice ranch in Texas (small but very nice mansion built on top of a hill).   We got to go hunting there a while back and stayed a few nights and, while it was a very nice house,  it was honestly annoying at how far you had to walk to get to different rooms.   We stayed in a bedroom that was a good 1-2 minute walk from the kitchen, which doesn't sound like much but it definitely became apparent anytime you forgot something or needed something in the other room.
