That is the way to go if you can do it.
We just moved to a similar sized house, but we had so much stuff it was nuts. We have my wife's car in the garage, but my truck is in the driveway and I'm not sure that I can get rid of enough stuff to ever get it in the garage at the new place. We had a storage shed at the old house, but a storage shed here requires it to mimic the house architecture. No Tuff Sheds allowed. It would be a major build that would require an architect and approval - probably not worth it to store stuff. Right now a riding mower is taking the place of my truck.
I may just get rid of the truck and get a golf cart. People have carts in the garage and vehicles in the driveways. A lot of people run around in golf carts. There are a lot of places where only golf carts are allowed and no parking for vehicles. It's different for sure. We will eventually get it sorted.
I agree that it's crazy to have a bunch of junk in the garage and depreciating vehicles out dealing with the elements.

since we have 3+ acres it is fabulous for yard work - and since our driveway is about 200 yards, its also great for fetching the mail when we don't have half an inch of ice and subzero wind chills
I've seen people at their mailbox with a golf cart. Our driveway is short.
I tell my wife that we live in the slums. She doesn't like me to say that. What I mean is that we have a small half acre lot. The "estate lots" range from 4-5 acres. I'm getting older and yard work disagrees with my back. The land behind our house is part of the golf course. No one can build on it and the club maintains it. We have an unobstructed view of about half a mile of well maintained property without having to care for it.
Here, too. House came with cart garage, too.
I wish we had a three car garage. The cart garage is nice.
We know two couples from Colorado who moved to The Villages in FL in the past year. They all drive golf carts around the community. Kind of a cool way to get around if you don't have to drive a full sized vehicle.
Our agent told us that we would eventually want a golf cart. We didn't think so at first. Then we drove over to where there is a nature trail on the back side of the lake. There is a sign, electric golf carts only beyond this point. You can't just park and walk because there is no parking. The other side of the lake is the same, no parking, carts only. There are many smaller ponds, lakes, and parks, but there is no parking.
