The thing about having non-villages property on the other side of the fence is that you have no idea what might be going up on that property in the future. This area in general is being built up at at quite a clip by both The Villages and other builders.

When we were looking for our house in The Villages we told our agent we didn't want to look at any houses the bordered non-villages property for that reason.

On 466A there were quite a few Villages houses that bordered a very large plot of land. It was purchased by a builder (not The Villages) and now those houses are bordering a shopping center and what is supposed to be some apartment buildings. Overall it doesn't look all that bad but I sure the people in those houses didn't expect that to happen.

On the other hand if you look around the villages you will find many houses that border non-villages and everything has worked out fine. It's really up to you.
