When shopping for our Villages home we feel in love with a house that had a beautiful pool with a big empty field behind it. We made an offer with a contingency that we would be satisfied with the zoning status of the land. After searching public records, we learned the land’s zoning status had recently been changed from agricultural to commercial, so we walked away. We eventually found our dream home, which abuts a wildlife preserve/flood management area (basically a glorified swamp) that can NEVER be developed. Just out of curiosity, I recently drove by the home we walked away from and witnessed a very large multi story building being constructed behind the home. Totally sucks for the homes in that area.
