Time to unveil my top 3 (remember this is a WISH LIST... just think Santa time when you were 7 years old)

1) I have a hobby that takes one garage stall, so the 2+cart garage is a minimum for us (we will have one car and one or two golf carts)

2) We both like being outside, but will not be accustomed to the heat. We want outdoor cooking and a pool inside a birdcage (and I guess it is best that it not be facing west from results here and from what I have seen on other postings.

3) We do want quiet privacy and a view (I know that is many times contradictory). The best I have been able to describe is on a lake with a golf course beyond. I have looked at a home in the past that was on the cart-side of a golf course, located very near the T-Box of a Par 3. Just looking at the house I got an ear full from the golfers waiting. They were not talking to me, just to each other. Let me just say that they were not using their "inside voices". Each had a story to tell and they all were telling them at the same time and each was trying to out talk the other... you know how it goes - they were enjoying themselves and that was great! I just know that is not what I want in my back yard (ideally), so I have a note - Find a place that the backyard is not near a T-Box and preferably on the non-cart side of the course.

My beautiful wife has her three... we will go there next time as I have written enough for now.

Oh Tom, it may have been better to start with the wife's wish list because well you know. And don't blow by that comment about the heat. Before you go onward with anything else try to come to grips with moving into an Inferno, which we happen to love. It won't be the fun and experience you have had described to you over the last couple of threads unless you acknowledge the heat, rain, storms and the Jurrasic Park aspects of living here. We don't mind anything except the Major Storms.

Don't want to be a Buzz Killer but what kind of friend wouldn't address these issues up front? I'm totally on your side just keeping it real.
