Looks like a nice place, but the front door is gonna be a pain in the ass for putting in furniture, appliances, and big screen tvs (take it from me, it's practically how I make a living nowadays) but that big garage makes it all worth that...
As for mowing, get a push mower, tie it to the raptor with the shut off bar on a rope attached to you (like a lanyard) and cruise around in 2nd...You'll be done in no time.
