Default New stable for my C5s

I just purchased a new house. I love my current house but it only has a two stall attached garage. The new house has a four stall attached and it's 1.3 arces. I'm also taking bids on a three stall detached garage as I have five vehicles and my girlfriend has one (soon to be two). I close June 14th. I told the girlfriend she can have the house (4100 sq ft) because I'll be living in the garage

Niiiiice! 4 car would suit me nicely as long as it's tall enough for a lift.

I told my wife that if she ever finds a 4 stall garage I'd go look at houses all day. I have 3 now so I don't need to move anytime soon. Your place looks great and plenty of elbow room between neighbors. I like that. Congrats.

Nice looking house and great thoughts about an additional garage, but, why just three more stalls? You might still need to add another Vette or two.

Very nice looking new house and what a bonus a four car garage is. Add three more garages and you'll have a really nice setup.

If I had to buy again it would be a metal barn home on a slab. About 120 X 120 feet and about 30 x 30 setup inside for living quarters. Yes, I can dream.

Good move. I have a 4 car and it's not enough. Make sure the coming 3 car detached is expandable.

Only!??
One car garage is all I have. The Z resides there year round, the other 2 are in the driveway.
OP... honestly, you're living my house dream. 4100SF, yep. 1.3 acres is about ideal (my FIL has 5+, too much), 4 car garage for 3 vehicles and my garage biz, uhuh.
Good for you!

add a second 2 car door out the back and put up a 60x100 barn out back,with a large patio[covered] and maybe an inground pool for whats left[no lawn to mow]

on second thought,buy the lot next door too

Wow, that's cool. I wish they would build more like that around here. You are lucky to find them with a third stall that is basically too small. Is that a custom that you had built?
