We want to buy a place with a pool or room for a pool - we have previously owned four homes with pools.

Wow, what a great backyard. Gotta be tough to leave? So neighbors close by you will be no problem? or you going walled courtyard for a bit of privacy?

I currently have a salt water hot tub that I love. A small pool would be nice down there to beat the heat. My wife is of English decent so she does not take to the sun well so would have to have shade. All in all is pool maintenance a lot of work? The salt hot tub is a piece of cake.

I know what you mean by isolated as my brother lives on a lake and has to drive 35 minutes (over 1 hour RT) to get a pizza or anything else. That part of it has kept me away from lake living. My current backyard creek 1 mile from a pizza was good enough.
