We toured golden oak last year. We weren't really interested but curious. I assumed they would have a variety of price ranges available. But the minimum was about 2 million and up from there. The homes were lovely. A lot of Spanish interior and exterior influence. A little too much ironwork in a couple homes. And no big pool, just lap pools. Very small yards. The cost of the house was one thing but the maintenance and club house fees were crazy. I figured if you wanted to belong to the club house with the big pool, play golf, include all the usual landscaping, etc the annual maintenance fees were from 60,000 to 100,000. You also get access to the four seasons for tennis and using their pool. We were told that about half of the owners live there full time. Overall it was the kind of place that looks good on the outside but is very pretentious and over the top. If we had that kind of money, I would much prefer a second home on the gulf or ocean.
