Could I have three houses in 3 countries? So that things really are equal?

If so:
Ranch in the foothills of Alberta.
Chalet in Switzerland.
Townhouse or cottage in a small town or village near Oxford.

I'd split between Montreal and one of the Hawaiian Islands with a holiday home here in Australia. Oh, and maybe an apartment in Toronto and New York.
