And there is also no guarantee your golf course view will remain, aka the Hacienda Hills syndrome. One day you’re looking across a fairway at a clubhouse, restaurant, swimming pool, tennis courts, etc…, and you have a short walk to go out to dinner. The next day you’re watching a wrecking ball level all of it. Then you get to live next to a construction site while your once beautiful view is turned into a residential Villa complex. That’s why if you buy a view lot you need to make absolutely certain the land encompassing your view can never be built on or is not a man made retention pond that can suddenly become empty. A real lake, such as lake miona, or a wildlife preserve, is a safe bet, otherwise buyer beware.
