> it brings me great joy just strolling around the garden watching everything growing or picking raspberries with my 3 year old son. So of course, in a sense, the house and the garden brings me joy.

imo you get joy from being happy with what you have (whatever it is, in your case it is a house and a garden, for others it is a mansion and for others a tiny flat)

That might also be the case, but that was not the point of the comment. The point is that owning a mansion, if that is what you crave, won’t make you happy if you never have time to experience it.
