My Grandfather (Great guy. Not the best in land deals) bought two 4 acre lots in Florida back in the 80's one of which still resides in our family collection of Albatrosses as it is 4 acres of straight up SWAMP. I dutifully pay taxes on it in the hopes that one day I'll visit my Alligators.

Fill it in, buy a Hot tub, lot less water lot less chemicals, works all year.
Buy a good one with separate circuit/filter pump, enjoy. Put it close to back porch, patio, door for winter time use. Who actually swims in a pool anyway. Using a floaty thing in the pool results in floating too far from the side (away from my beer), holding it when some fatass jumps in puts water in my beer.
Most of the time further north than Valdosta GA the water is cold and the beer just makes you colder.
Hot tubs makes you warm and thus allowing the need for more beer. Hot tub does not have to be hot, hot, hot just warm tub in the summer.
I would have a skid steer rental dropped off tomorrow and 3-4 dump trucks off fill on standby. Pool worries over in a few hours, your wife will eventually come around.
Best thing I ever did was knock that pool down and scrap the metal.

You never know... watch the aerial pics on the property appraisers website... when the neighborhood starts to fill and develop, get a permit and start heaping in the clean fill. If you fill high enough, early enough... you will have a potentially valuable building lot... if you wait, you will have the neighborhood retention pond... I see lakes for sale all the time, the ones that are dry half the year could offer boating the other half.
AFAIAC, there are no areas left in FL that are safe from development... it's a matter of time until I have to move.

It's true, our other lot was eventually developed.. my Grandmother sold that one in the early 2000's at a very good profit.

Looking for my paperwork, Stan. I've moved around more than 5 times in the last year and it seems my accordion folders are elsehwhere. I'll send you an address when I find it.
In the meantime, a new photo of The Dengue Fever Maker:

And one of me going off the deep end:
Install several in-ground car lifts, backfill with rebar and concrete, and build a nice garage on top of it all.

I'm still thinking a car corral for my favorite New England (or my favorite willing to make the trip) C Bodies.
