I am hoping to get some thoughts and inputs on which design I should go with.
Background: I live on 5 acres. My garage sites to the right of my house/covered patio so there is no way my neighbors could see my family enjoying the pool from that side. The other side of the house were the pool would be is currently wide open. I don't believe my neighbors could see much from their house, however they have a very tall and large barn that would have clear views of the pool area.
So keep that in mind on the designs as I'm trying to make this as private as possible. I understand I live on 5 acres and its already very private, however if I'm designing a pool I want to make it as private as possible.
See the pictures below of my house as it currently sits.
I am looking at two to three different design options. I should have 4-5 different builders submitting designs, but I only have 2 builders design so far to share.
Design option 1: Do a pool with an outdoor firepit. Keep things simple
Design Option 2: Do a pool with with a covered patio on the opposite side of the garage. Run the covered patio the same length as the garage. Have a outdoor fireplace under the covered patio. Tear down my current outdoor kitchen (see the pictures) and move it under the new covered patio. --> I would do this so I have a "covered" walkway to go from one covered patio to the next. if you look at the picture if I move the outdoor kitchen I would have a covered walkway to the new covered patio. Also, my wife likes the idea of "opening" up the space and moving the outdoor kitchen so we have a better view from inside the house.
Design Option 3: Have everything the exact same as Design option 2. The differences would be I would cut the covered patio short and make a outdoor firepit instead of a fireplace at the end of the patio and have the new covered patio just be for the outdoor kitchen
