Nine, Wine, and Dine

That’s how Susan and Bill Voshell enjoy their life at Villages of Citrus Hills… “Nine, Wine, and Dine.” They relocated to this masterplanned community in Central Florida in March of 2019 from the Atlanta area and could not be more pleased with their new active lifestyle. Their family knew Florida well and had vacationed in Sarasota for the last 30 years.

and a familiar place that we had been living. Even right now, we met three different couples who are moving here in the future. We’ve already formed a great connection.”

They love the central location that is about an hour’s drive from both Orlando and Tampa. One of their favorite things to do is to watch the space launches from Cape Canaveral as they can view them with the naked eye from their driveway or the golf course.

“The weather is just beautiful here. We play golf year-round.” Bill has been an avid golfer, and Susan learned to play what she terms COVID golf. She says, “During COVID, I learned how to play golf, and I’m enjoying it. I’m more of a 9-hole golfer, but Bill is more of a competitive golfer.” Even though their styles are vastly different, they enjoy playing together along with their friends.

When speaking of relocating to Citrus Hills, Susan says, “I associate it with when you are young and going to college for the first time, and you meet all of the people from around the United States. That’s what it is like here. Everyone is looking for new experiences and new friends. We all left families

“I didn’t think we would buy a golf cart, but we did. And, we love it.” Though not a golf cart community per se, they ride their cart around the well-manicured neighborhood to participate in their very active lifestyle. Susan enjoys yoga, pilates, and spinning classes but especially the on-site spa. She’s even learned to play bocce and mahjong. “We can hardly keep up with all the things that we want to do,” Tom adds.

But it’s not all fun and games; they also volunteer to help the underserved neighboring community. As a former teacher, Susan still offers her services as a substitute teacher in the neighboring schools.

“I can’t imagine living anywhere but here. It’s almost like it was made for us,” Susan concludes.
