I've been considering what to do for home maintenance/repair in the years to come, before I die and my daughter inherits the place.
My metal roof will probably be ready for replacement within 20 years. The metal catchment tank is already a concern.
With regards to the structure, I built my own single wall home using the CCA treated wood available back in the early 90's. All of that lumber still looks essentially brand new 30 years later. Absolutely none of it shows the slightest sign of needing replacement anytime soon.
However, If were to build a new home today and had the money for the materials and labor to construct a steel framed home, that could likely be my choice.
