No need to be extreme, we have the technology....
You just need one of these: (From the Reality sculptors list)
From: Patrick Salsbury <salsbury@sculptors.com>
So, imagine, if you will, that you get one of these houses from
Reality Sculptors, and they have the thing pre-built and ready to
deliver to you, anywhere on the planet. (After all, when you buy a
car, you don't expect them to come and build it in your driveway,
do you?)
The house arrives at your distant mountain getaway, by
helicopter. It's settled onto the ground, auto-adjusting and
leveling itself with its 3-6 legs, so that it can find stable
footing, even on a strange slope. It arrives lightweight, with
little to no water on board, since that would just be extra weight
for the helicopter to haul.

Cool huh?
---------------
Very cool, but it would be even cooler if you combined the helicopter with
the house. Brings new meaning to the term "mobile home"
