I have space, I'm just short of things, ideas and energy.
I have always wanted a cherry tree. Not an ornamental one, a proper fruiting cherry tree (or 2, or 3). Not a space issue, but sadly I have a small dog that loves eating anything, including cherries (he'll go for fallen wild cherries) and I can just imagine the vet bill for removing a heap of cherry stones from a dog's stomach.
I would also love a proper greenhouse but I can't think of a suitable location or a way of persuading my husband that it's a really good idea, honest.
Magnolia x solangeana that I couldn’t afford back in 1984 instead of the Acer platanoides that I could. Magnolias were very expensive back then so compromises had to be made. I now have to pollard the acer to subdue it and let light in where the Magnolia would have been a perfect size by now. (In my minds eye at least).
Space and time? Getting the spacing right is probably one of the most difficult things about gardening in my humble opinion.
@Suesyn I am lucky enough to live next to a wood. It is a great borrowed landscape. No beech trees but full of wildlife. The plants I grow are on the wildside too which seems to work well.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

Not a chance here! 😄
