I could live forever near a beach that never has hurricanes or blizzards, close to somewhere that has seasonal changes like autumn leaves and light snow, but never enough to be a pain. Where I could walk the beach, swim, work at whatever I want to online - don't have to go anywhere, don't have to work - just want to, be with family and friends who are all healthy, responsible and pleasant to be around. Good, reasonably priced restaurants nearby and well-stocked grocery store. A dune buggy I can drive on the beach. Truck and car I can drive from home. Dogs to walk on the beach that get along with the cats at home. Reasonable drive from a city with excellent medical care, museums, concerts, etc. A reasonable drive from mountains, lakes and forest, some of that forest edging up near the beach. In a house that's so well-built and/or situated that doesn't need much heat or air conditioning, with great ocean views, where I can contract with reliable maintenance providers to keep up as I get older, but I own and only family has keys to, with TV and phone and online access, great ocean views, extensive oceanside decks with multiple levels, steps down to the beach, in a no-crime area with a marina and a lighthouse nearby but not too close.
Is that too much to ask?
What's your idea of heaven?

Reason: editing heaven :p
On Earth? Pockets full of money, time to travel, good health, lots of healthy loved ones to share with. Not necessarily in that order. Oh,.. and a big dog for company too!

I like your idea of heaven so I'll go along with that - or - living in a log cabin smack dab in the middle of a giant marijuana field.
To live in some olde worlde village in rural England, with a slower pace of life; a decent sized 3 or 4 bedroom detached home (paid for and with good broadband) - nothing OTT!; A car and a couple of motorcycles.
My own IT business serving the local area, involving working-from-home, as well as going out to local homes and businesses, where people are by and large far more friendlier and accommodating compared to city life.
Don't want shedloads of money, or lots of material things.
Good health into old age would be nice; and when my time finally arrives to leave this planet, to die peacefully in my sleep.

Although I see the actual Heaven as a great place to aim for.
