What's your dream vacation home?

Here's an interesting New York Times article (registration required) on vacation homes and how the market is expanding from communities that offer golf to ones that offer outdoor stuff:

The 3 Creek Ranch in Jackson, Wyo., offers raptor rehabilitation and songbird banding. The Spring Island resort community in South Carolina organizes plant, bird identification and nocturnal wildlife walks and mountain biking trails. The 14,000-acre Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Mont., which is planned to accommodate 864 members in condos or single-family homes, has rope courses with long zip lines, as well as a permanent campsite complete with a cooking tent, a fire ring and tepees for members who want to saddle up for a four-hour horseback excursion, including wranglers trailing along with the supplies. And Mountain Air has its salamander hunts.

That's closer to what I want. I'm not a golfer and don't really want to pay for a golf course, but hiking trails are worth a few bucks to me.
