Wife has requested a 3 seasons move

Bill reading your criteria north of Atlanta would fill most of it. First off not knowing what work your looking to do. ATL has a population of 5 million plus. So the variations of jobs are high. You have the mountains just north, Lake Lanier is a large and nice lake. The gulf coast and the east coast are just hours away. As you go north up GA 400, Roswell, Alpharetta and then Cumming are all nice suburban cities. I've lived north of and south, north is a bit cooler in the summer. I guess due to higher elevations. Other auto related things here are Cobra Restorers, Year One, not far away in Braselton. Summit Racing to the south down I75 and Atlanta Motor Speedway. Orlando is 7 hours south.

The wife and I are "snow-birds". We live in Virginia Beach, Va. during the summer while heading south to Port Charlotte on the gulf coast of south Florida for the fall/winter.

Port Charlotte was the #1 place to retire in the United States as listed by US News and World report in 2012. The cost of living there is really cheap.

We bought a real sweet 2K+ sf home with solar/heat pump heated pool, a 40'x12' covered lanai along with every amenity know to man for a paltry $139K.

No income tax, no personal property tax and very cheap real estate tax makes it a retiree's dream.

...the finest carpet bagging since the war between the states.

Take a look at The Villages, Florida. My in-laws used to live in Naples, but grew weary of the way that city does business, and bought a nice house in The Villages. I just visited them over Thanksgiving, and thouroughly enjoyed the visit. They have a LOT of stuff to do, and it's an hour and twenty minutes from the Orlando airport.
