It’s a honorable goal to strive to give your Dad such an amazing gift. Don’t eliminate other alternative gifts which would still be a blessing. Why not a $600k townhome with a small backyard (you mention he is aging so maybe burdening him with maintenance of a large home/yard isn’t a great long-term goal).

Then maybe pick a home in nearby city or an apartment near a park 🤷🏻‍♂️. Just saying, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good here.

Have you considered looking nearby instead of only in this specific area? $1.5 million is a shitload of money, even with your very excellent salary.
