I suppose there is no guarantee against SINKHOLES OR DRY LAKES in the newer Villages either! Google the following for examples:
"sinkhole at 733 Winifred Way" and "sinkhole at 17092 McLawren Terrace"�and "sinkhole at 2536 Botello Ave", there are more, but you get the idea, watch out for those waterfront views.
We used to live in middle Tennessee and sink holes are a big problem there. Contractors drill into the ground in new subdivisions trying to identify where sink holes might appear but the success hasn't all that good. Sink holes happen all the time, it's a nature thing just like hurricanes and tornados. We had lived in our home for over 25 years and then one night a sink hole opened up about 20 feet from our property line in our back yard. It was up to the land owner to fill in the sink hole as it is their property, I would imagine it is the same here.
