If the developer is redoing some of the old man. houses there must be an opportunity for others to do the same. No??

I did visit the "historic" side last week while there and liked in particular the houses with the lake view. I talked to one lady that owned two of them and she indicated that the lake view came with a $30K price differential. I think the "landscape complications" mentioned above must be a euphemism for gnomes.

Question for you: Can the carports in the historic area be enclosed and made into garages without undue complications or nonsense with codes/permits??
Thank you

Rick - There are folks who have torn down the man. house and had their approved site built home constructed. No problem doing so as long as the architectural plans are Villages approved.

Those homes on the "lake"... are only waterfront as long as there is lots of rain to fill them! In the dry season - not so much water! But the view is lovely.

Re the garage - my guess is that it could easily be done - have seen some homes go through that process. When we first owned we had the rear carport area privacy screened with slider panels [could see out but could not see in from the street] and stored the golf cart there - leaving the car under the front carport area [we have a double length/2 car carport]. Eventually we added a separate golf cart on the back of the house and remade the screened carport area into a man cave. Our contractor took care of the permits/inspections/approvals and had no problem with architectural review or town of Lady Lake - easy peasy for us!
