From looking at available homes in Dabney and Moultrie, it appears that any home with a view lot is sold and the only remaining homes are interior lots with kissing lanais. This even includes the Premier homes in Dabney. I don’t think too many people want to spend $500,000 and more plus that bond to live in a premier neighborhood and have a kissing lanai.

I have spoken to a number of people with kissing lanais and almost every one wishes that they had a home with a view - water, golf, reserve (or swamp), a street, or at least another 20-30 feet between lanais. It is impossible to have every house built on a view site but it would not be impossible to have more space between houses so that houses don’t back up against each other.
