Good luck on your endeavor! I would get a VLS agent to work with first. Our agent did a great job for us. They know when new areas are coming available and are knowledgable about lot sizes and home builds. Search through the models to decide on which plan suits you best. Info we learned is most interior walls can be moved without affecting the cost. Decide if you want the home stretched in any way. How large you would like the garage 2 car golf cart, 3 car etc. I would suggest stretching the garage making it deeper and a bit wider. All golf cart garages aren't equal, some have room for just one others are full depth of the garage. The home you pick will determine the lot. Our agent Stephanie Anderson did an amazing job for us. If you are interested I will send you her info. After looking at lots in several areas we decided on a spec home with a few upgrades. Our priority was room for a decent size pool, southern facing lanai, 3 car garage, large bedrooms, and the village. After an extended search and guidance from Stephanie we chose our current home, our 2nd in the Villages. Pool is going in now. If you find a spec home you're interested in, a site plan and the builders print are available on the counties website via email request. In our case Sumter County. Best of luck.
