I'd recommend building a garage with a nice house attached. No basements, small attic storage areas, no yard storage sheds, all make for a premium for storage of toys and "the good stuff". By all means consider bumping the garage out in all directions if you want room for storage shelves. Be sure to extend the debth also because the standard size just fits a regular car with only a couple of feet to spare. Strongly consider making the cart space deep enough to house 2 carts ( with the size of the Villages and all its activities you'll probably end up with 2 eventually) A standard cart is approx. 4'X8' so you need at least 18-20 feet of depth for two, more if you get a 4 seater or high-end fancy one. If you can, build a full 3 car garage. If you don't use the extra space you can easily rent it out to a car collector for at least $1000/yr. A realitor friend told me that homes with 3 full car garages resell quickly at a premium.
