http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3791 isnt a huge house but it is a wet dream for keeping your lootz organized to OCD perfection.

Otherwise you could check out http://www.oblivionsrealestate.com/ one stop shopping for all your housing needs.

I'm not gonna lie. I was never into huge houses in oblivion, for that matter, castles. Then i tried castle wolfspike. It's large, but not massive. PLENTY of places to store things. The main living area even has chests labeled for blades, blunt, light and heavy armor. Plenty of storage in the basemant, cupboards and chests, even functional racks for large weapons, plenty of tables. Not to mention it's secret areas. The alchemy/enchanting/spellmaking area has sorters as well.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10424 & http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13509 is a very spacious home located near Bravil with tonnes of display room, plus in an Ayleid city/ ruin style (if you like that style).

i dont have shivering isles so i cant use the wolfspike castle

Perhaps http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14714 would meet your needs.

Aranmathi is an amazing home I've used it for ages, the amount of storage is excellent, its layout is excellent but it has a few problems with NPC's moving items as they walk in the display areas, if this was fixed and a cobl sorter added it would be astounding.

I'd recommend not just going to TESNexus and "downloading the most popular mods" - this just means you miss out all the great mods that happen to have lower download counts, plus all the mods that happen not to be at Nexus. For example, you would automatically miss http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29126 by Korana, which only has 3000 downloads - but won the ORE competition for best country home.

I'd also recommend getting Shivering Isles - it's absolutely superb, and it would allow you to use some great mods. For example, my http://princessstomper.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/silorn-manor/ is a 6-bedroom mansion surrounded by a small underground village. It has an armory section, and the master bedrooms have huge walk-in closets with multiple wardrobes. There's also a display area, including a Morrowind-style activation script that will automatically display any Daedric Artifacts you collect.

You should be able to use my http://princessstomper.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/princess-cheydinhal-house-for-sale/, which upgrades the buyable house in Cheydinhal to a spacious 4-bedroom manor. It just has 1-2 chests and a closet in each bedroom, plus additional space in the hallway and a dedicated storage closet. It does, however, require COBL and as such have the COBL luggage and other COBL stuff such as alchemy sorting.

Of the mods by other people, I love http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=oblivionmods.Detail&id=1500 - a mod with plenty of storage and display space as well as being a gorgeous house with a good quest.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22810 by Korana has a lot of storage space - every mod by her is just exquisite.

http://oblivionsrealestate.com/Find_A_Home/ORE_Challenges/ore_challenges.html is designed for Mages, but it has a lot of very well-organised storage containers.

I'd second the suggestion to just have a good look at Oblivion's Real Estate because there are some great mods on there. A lot of the better mods are very overlooked, simply because people just gravitate towards the most popular ones and ignore the others, which becomes self-perpetuating - so you have a handful of mods with 20,000 downloads and then everything else which only has a few hundred downloads each, despite being of equal quality.
