I have had a pool so make sure you will be happy cleaning it each day, using it in the cool weather etc. If you do not think you will use most days of the week I would skip the pool.
Heating the water can be a problem. I don't think the solar set ups on your roof are satisfactory year round so you might want to check with others as I have not had one. An option might be solar electric as you will make electric every day and can use it when ever you need it. But I don't know how practical an electric pool heater would be. I would think natural gas is best.
You will probably need a solar pool cover to keep the heat in when not using. Be sure you are happy removing and putting back.
