Where will it — or should it — be?

Post Your Best Guess

Hello Admin. Hello Gumby Some of us have been discussing this in the backyard so I thought I would ask. Why can't we just guess here on the MB? Why try to send us to the blog? So many do not go there. THIS is where it all began....just saying

I bought Gumby & Pokey pizza & wings

Enjoy!

I'm laughing about how sneaky HGTV is about the DREAM HOME. Sure...give the clue of Hawaii,and create quite a stir that it will be there. Even the midwest has home developments that have Hawaiian names. Nebraska has quite a development in Omaha with one of them. Since I can't enter comments on the blog, I'll leave my clue as Nebraska. Fits today's picture. I was just waiting for today's pic. clue. Clever, clever, clever!

Nebraska eh? Hmmmm Hawaii would not have many dreamers touring.... Still it's about time Michigan got a DH on Lake Michigan or someother lake...we have quite a few....not as many as Moose's habitat but just sayin"....

Is there a more temperate, idyllic, wonderful spot than the Hawaiian Islands? It is time to commit to a real dream!

dream of a lake like Lake ERie Near Sandusky ohio.

I'll take some of those gumby wings, Beachy!

Green Alice I'd love a beach house on Lake Michigan! Have vacationed many times in MI and love it plus hubby has tons of family there to share a fine lake front home.

Been to Hawaii twice and loved it but it's pricey and ** to get family over to visit. Still, I'd be happy to win a home there too.

Wherever DH 2012 is I'll be entering and dreaming.

Are we any closer to knowing the place?
I am so excited to kmow where the dream will begin this year.

It's UTAH! Can't wait to see this house.

HGTV chooses Wasatch County site for “Dream Home” giveaway

HGTV’s 2012 "Dream Home" will be a 45-minute commute from Salt Lake City — and some lucky person will win the whole thing.

HGTV is building a 4,000-square-foot modern Western ranch house at the River Meadows Ranch development, north of Heber City and Midway in Wasatch County, for its annual sweepstakes.

"It’s just a beautiful piece of land," said Jack Thomasson, HGTV’s professional home planner, who is responsible for choosing the site and overseeing the design, construction and decorating. "The location on the Provo River is just spectacular."

The site of the Dream Home was announced Friday; construction began about a month ago. It’s the 16th year of the giveaway.

HGTV received more than 76 million entries to win the Stowe, Vt., Dream Home earlier this year.

"It’s considered the largest sweepstakes in television," Thomasson said.

Individuals can enter once per day between Dec. 30, 2011, and Feb. 18, 2012. The Dream Home will be unveiled in an HGTV special on Jan. 1.

The house was designed by Salt Lake City firm JSA Architects and is being built by Rimrock Construction, a company based in Draper. River Meadows Ranch is being developed by Sandy-based Rockworth Companies.

"Our goal is for the house to fit as perfectly into this region as we can make it," Thomasson said. "We don’t want to come in and build something that doesn’t belong here."

Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of September, followed by two months of filming — for HGTV’s magazine, the hour-long TV special, an online virtual tour and commercials that promote the sweepstakes and the special.
