I made a portal to the nether and I found that when I come back to the Overworld, it spawns me somewhere else, approximately 100 blocks away from where my actual portal is. Can someone help me so that when I come back from the nether it takes me back to the portal that you can see in the sand house?

I have to say I don’t know why this happens BUT I believe your nether portal got placed rather far from the optimal coordinates
So that overworld to nether a check is mad to try and link to a close portal
But in reverse this check fails and the game creates a new portal
I would suggest that you build a portal at the nether side with the overworld coordinates dividiertet by 8 (hight is not that impactful) and break the old one
This sometimes happens when your portal is right up against a wall. For whatever reason, the game assumes that the portal is obstructed, so it creates a new one.
Use this [Minecraft Portal Calculator](https://mavenspun.com/games/minecraft/) by inputting the coordinates of your overworld portal, then using the output nether coordinates, rebuild the portal in the correct place (approximately). The technique is called “portal linking” and you can find out more information by searching for that term.
Your nether portal does not share the coordinates with your overworld portal (your overworld coordinates divided by 8) likely because of an obstruction at those coordinates in the nether. So when you back through the portal it is creating a new portal in the correct coordinates for the nether side portal
Move the Nether side Portal to ((16 / -120)) destroy the old one, should link up to the house portal.
To work out for yourself in future, take the X and Z of the portal you don’t want to move, divide by 8 if its overworld or times by 8 if its nether. Then you have the co-ords of where to build the other sides portal for perfect linking.
