Hi Russ,
A private lanai was a priority for us too. In some of the older neighborhoods on the north side, the houses are not as close together, are very well offset and have mature landscaping, all of which facilitate back yard and lanai privacy. Don't know if you have any interest in north side; but if so, you can zoom into The Villages from Google Earth and get an idea of where you might be able to find a private backyard lanai. Of course, on the north side, these would all be resales and as Zcaveman pointed out, the houses are called ranches, not cottages.
