If the gold bar is an asset because it will eventually be sold for profit, then my home is also an asset because I will also ultimately sell it for a profit, or if I die prior to selling then my children will at some point sell it for a profit.There is no difference between the two, by YOUR original definition the gold bar shouldn't be an asset because it doesn't generate any cashflow, or by your new definition the house should be an asset because it will eventually be sold for profit. 

It would be nice to get my children into some fresh air for a healthy break.

We will be investing also for our own children so we and they can enjoy rent-free accommodations!
