I keep the "West Wing" closed off most of the year so I don't have to pay for cooling/heating:

Heating cooling was one of the things that sold us on this house. The prior owner has upgraded with zoned HVAC and high efficiency systems (e.g. the downstairs heating uses stored hot water for heat source). The couple that owned it had utility bills of c. $1150 electric and $600 gas bill for all of last year (verified with utility companies). Will allow us to close off the upstairs when the kids are all gone in another 1-2 years. And it has a computer controlled natural gas powered generator installed after Katrina in case of power outages.
And it won't be overwhelming to take care of aside from the treatment of the cypress exterior. I love the fact that the only painted exterior item is the front door
