Houses in S.C. Come with their own pond in the back and stocked with an alligator!
Move to Florida - the alligators are on the golf courses.
Consider Jacksonville, FL: easy to move around, with I-10, I-95, and I-295; international airport, beaches, a wide variety of areas and neighborhoods to live in. No state income taxes, a reasonable sales tax. Activities around the city, or places that are easy to get to - Riverwalk, downtown, Orlando, St. Augustine, Tampa, Atlanta, etc.
Some of the less desirable aspects are: heat and humidity, but the only place that’s not air-conditioned is between your car and where you’re going in to; mosquitoes - keep small pets and children under 8 tied down so they won’t get carried off; palmetto bugs, more commonly referred to as “flying cockroaches” - don’t sleep with your mouth open.
