Sure...it all looks great...but the price of just building a home there would easily top $1M-$1.5M. All of their homes are already listed on the site...no 2 are the same (they have about 75 house plans listed...only one has sold). So aside from your $675K plot minimum you're probably looking at the very least another $500K to build. Add close to $24K per year in home owner's fees and it's not so attractive for the non-super-rich. Then again, if you can afford the plot and house, what's another $2K a month?

You know...I hate the idea of a homeowner's association. Where we live we pay $100 a year and that's ok. It keeps the place nice and clean. But most of that is the city's job so the rest of the money is going into the community pool (which sucks ass), the tennis court (which are cracked and unuseable), and god only knowns what else. On the other hand, if we were to not pay the fee because no one in this house uses those facilities (we don't), we couldn't move out until we were paid up in our bullshit fees. Horseshit.
