Another option that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves, is to buy one of the OLD manufactured homes for dirt-cheap across the golf cart bridge from Spanish Springs. Raze the structure, and build new, to your specifications. You could also get in touch with the Villages sales office and see if there are any of those older properties, already leveled and ready to build. Again, with all the cabinetry and flooring and possibly even layout that you love in the newer sections. You might even be able to buy a lot and have a new home built on it in the Orange Blossom/Silver Lake area, for less than you'd have to pay for a new home in the as-of-yet-unfinished southern sections.
