Hard to call it modern with those kinds of energy demands. I'm on a similar path, but a large part of the plan is to have a minimal footprint. I have access to a community well and electricity, but the goal to make it self sufficient enough to be off grid, while maintaining a reasonable lifestyle. So instead of a heated pool/etc the money would be going into solar arrays and batteries and a well. Plus, pools suck, sure its a lot of fun for the kids a few weeks of the year, but they tend to sit unused most of the time, while consuming electricity, chemicals, etc. I have a heater that broke a few years ago, and i haven't bothered to fix it because getting out of an outdoor heated pool when its 60F or colder just isn't something most people enjoy. So I just stopped heating it long before it broke.
