CINEMAS, wine cellars and swimming pools are staples for any ultimate home, but unless we win the Powerball or become NBA stars the reality of having that dream abode remains a fantasy.

But there’s nothing wrong with that virtual reality. What if we could build that money-no-object fantasy feature in our made-up mansions, what would it be? Would you gift yourself that Batcave you’ve always wanted or perhaps plant a racetrack in your back garden?

We’ve asked the team at news.com.au to reveal their ultimate add-ons, and they range from the brilliant to bizarre.
