AFAIK the <$14K only means that you don't have to report it to the IRS. Over that amount and you report it but don't pay tax until you've gifted over $5M. (I think it's $5M)
I think you can give out <$14K to 1000 different people and not even have to report it.
I'd build a small home in the 'country'
Peace & quiet is something you can't put a price on.

Do the house to my spec

I like to play no limit hold'em, eat really good food, go to the spa and get rubbed and drink while I'm playing.
Usually never even leave the hotel/casino unless I'm really leaving (going home)
I'm due but the road to Reno is not good this time of year.
