What is the length of the garage?

There are four designer models that will fit on any designer lot AND include a golf cart garage -- The Iris, The Lilac, The Begonia, and The Sunflower.

You can park on your lanai, don't think that takes approval

My neighbor proposed a revision of his garage which complied with everything you list. Then he was turned down flat by ARC, which would not allow him to put a concrete path to the garage.

AGREED. We like the Iris because it already has the golf cart garage. Grant it, the two extra bedrooms are a little smaller, but we can live with that. We are stretching the front bedroom out four feet and the side out one foot, so it won't be a problem for us. If you can't find a lot to fit an extra garage on the side, try to find one with a little extra feet for the Iris or the other above reference golf cart models. Or if you are not real picky about the roominess of the two extra bedrooms, it will fit on any lot I beleive

Sorry All- We are new to this and set up a new account instead of just having Bruce's first and last name. We thought showing our love for pugs in our name would help people remember us! I am reposting under our new handle...thanks

If I recall correctly, a little over 22 feet...can't swearr to it.

This is going to be an interesting process. Did you select a lot with kissing lanai's? That topic seems to get a lot of 'spirited' debates on this forum. When we were on our LSV, we were a little surprised at how close the back neighbors can be. I am thinking some creative landscaping will help, but hubby seems to want more privacy. Again, this is going to be an interesting process. Enjoy your day.

Can you direct me to where you can find the prices of available lots online?

Thanks, Mary Lou

Thanks, Mary Lou

Go on the Villages.com website, press the area near the top left side that says "neighborhoods", and when the new page comes up, on the right hand side it lists all of the sections open (205,206, etc...). Click on a section of homes you are interested in and any home that are dark green are available lots with prices listed, and any lime green are lots with spec homes on them with the prices for both listed

YES WE AGREE WITH THE IRIS IDEA. WE ARE BUILDING ONE ON QUAIL CT, BUT WE AJUSTED THE HOUSE ON THE LOT SO WE COULD STRETCH THE GARAGE. WE MOVED OUT THE GARAGE WALL 4 FEET, MAN CAVE, AND IN RETURN HER KITCHEN GREW 4 FEET ALSO...........WOW THE NEIGHBORS SAY.

I would check into such things way ahead of time with the review board. Each village has restrictions and the newer the village the more restrictions are in place. I'm not really sure if a lot of these lots allow space to drive a cart from the back to the front anyway...something like that would have to be approved and hope your neighbors don't get their hackles up about it you really don't want that . Normally the footprint of the house can't really be changed and you can only add on within another footprint ie birdcages patio etc. Really would be interested to see where this one goes. My biggest suggestion would be find a place to fit your needs to start. We ended up with one car out and one in with the golfcart.


And yep you can stretch when you build...the one we're in is stretch 2ft on the front...makes for a nice bedroom with a bay
