South Carolina with a $550k each yea is a pretty easy option for me. I'd spend the rest of my days beaching and boating.

What is this?

South Carolina and 1/2 million a year going away.

I think it's a water tower?

Georgia for me please

Guessing it is for water. Might be a rain cistern or something. Yeah, if I'm drinking rainwater out of a cistern, I'm OUT.

South Carolina by a mile.

It's young money and well designed versus Georgia is gaudy and old money and looks like a house from 1870

Probably a whole treatment system in the brick bits underneath.

A buddy who lives in Hawaii has his own catchment system for rain and treats it for drinking, and the water tasted fine.

South Carolina all day. Short trip to Charleston and Savannah. Some of the best golf money can buy right down the road in Kiawah. And the extra money?!

The only thing the GA house has going for it that's better is the privacy and acreage IMO.

SC: I love the ocean view - but I'm not a golfer. Only one acre. The decor does not do anything for me.
GA: Gaudy for my tastes. i'm not a horse person either (but maybe I could be...are they like big dogs? I like dogs.) A lot of acreage. The 8' waterfall in the description looks to be a fountain.

I've started to think of this competition as: If I am under house arrest, which place do I choose. I have to spend the rest of my life sleeping in one place.

I am choosing the Georgia house, mostly because of the amount of land upon which I can gambol about. The out buildings could be repurposed. I might put in a small 1 barrel brewing operation. Or a small distillery. Who knows...I might get me a horse to ride about my property. I love that SC beach, but that one acre is too confining.

At first I thought it might be a crypt because I thought that was a cross above the door. But as I look at it again, I think it's probably some kind of water storage system, maybe for use on the grounds rather than for drinking.

Back to subject. I like the SC house better, but that lot is just weirdly shaped. However, since I can't play golf any more and I have an adversion to hurricanes, I guess I'll go GA.

Edit: I went back and looked at the SC property on Goggle Maps satellite and it appears to be only around 50-60' wide at it's widest point. There are a lot of trees in front so I couldn't see the driveway, but the small portion in front of the house appears to be dirt/sand. Looking at the lot drawing on the realator's map, the frontage can't be more than 15' wide. Amazon would have a hard time finding me there since they seem to have a problem with my 330' frontage now.
