After you build the lot, you have 30 days to have the design appointment. I recently built in Lake Denham. The house was finished 4 months after the design appointment.

Coop63 - I built essentially the same house as you are planning! This is my second Villages home. The first was a Mossy Oak, but essentially the same floor plan, without the stretches. I was able to stretch the master bedroom in my Dove home by 2 feet, which has made a huge difference. I also combined the master bedroom windows into one, which I much prefer. My one slight regret was not making the garage into a 3 car, but I had maxed out my budget.

The view lots are the ones that that will appreciate the most. Pay special attention to the direction of the backyard. I hated my northeast facing lanai in my previous home. I have a south facing lanai now and much prefer it.
