When we built our house we expanded it from a double car plus golf cart garage and added another single car garage. Right up to the setback lines. And we bumped it out. Use our double car for storage and recumbent Tri-cycle, along with workshop, et. Didn't want to climp attic stairs.

Onl wish that we had bumped out the back and made living spaces larger.

It takes along time to find what you are seeking. We have been looking for a reasonable home with a pool, outdoor cooking, birdcage, privacy or a golf view, 2+ garage that does not back up to a major road. We also want no carpet & pool heater on the roof. We have been looking for more than a year....

Crazy thing is the little ranch type house we are renting has a 21 ft. deep garage (inside dimensions). This is really strange since this little house is very small and nothing special as far as upgrades.

We have seen many beautiful houses that would be very good candidates if they just had a larger garage. We are beginning to wonder if moving to TV is not in the cards for us. Very frustrating so far.
Stick to your guns. We bought our Gardenia with an extended garage. It just came that way. We weren't looking for the added space. Now that we have it, we love it. If you already know you want this added space, keep looking. You'll find it.

A visit to the right person at the Villages sales office may put you looking in the right direction.

You say you must have a 21 foot deep garage. The sales office should be able to tell you what models have a 21 foot deep garage. So you will know what model or models you want.

You may be unusual. The sales "agents," know from experience that often people say they want .... but then buy something else so you end up being shown homes that are not what you think you must have.

The VILLAGES, perhaps, living in the villages is not important to you. From what I see or think I see few of the homes are on enough land so that you could perhaps add a custom garage.
Perhaps, you should explore a newly built home in Finney?

Default Extended Golf Cart Garage

I had a Lantana with a 2 car plus golf cart garage. I blew out the back wall of the Golf Cart bay and extended it by 27'. This gace me a depth in my cart garage approx. 43' deep. WHOA!!! I then had the garage insulated and air conditioned.The attic over the addition was huge and gave me lots of storage. I had Excel Construction do the job and they did a great job.garage-floor-4-jpg

I had a “Gardenia” style home built on a cul de sac . I had Advanced Construction build an extra garage sized 16.3 X 24.3 inside dimension with 10’ walls and a 4 1/2” thick floor built on .This was a preliminary to installing a car hoist which I didn’t do . They have done other similar garages , so either look for a house built on a curve in the street or on a cul de sac . My entrance was once the back wall of the golf cart garage . Taxes went up about $250 . Try calling Advanced Construction . There are several home down on the south side of Hillsborough which have the lot with room for this addition.
