The HGTV Dream Home is the American cable network Home & Garden Television (HGTV)'s annual project house and sweepstakes , held since 1997. The sweepstakes commences with a January 1 television special showcasing the fully furnished, custom-built home valued in excess of one million dollars; viewers are invited to enter online. The 2012 contest drew over 81 million entries. [1]

Starting with the 2004 Dream Home in St. Marys, Georgia , public tours have been offered, with some of the ticket proceeds going to local charitable groups. The 2012 proceeds went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah. [2]

Most of the Dream Home winners have sold their prizes, [3] largely because of the accompanying property tax bills, and as of 2006, [3] only two winners had lived in their houses. 2005 winner Don Cruz initially planned to keep the house, located on Lake Tyler , after having his plan to rent out the dockhouse and master bedroom suite on a nightly basis rejected by Tyler, Texas 's city government; however, he decided to sell after receiving tax forms showing the house had a higher value than he originally thought.
