I did some research and Lbcv, Inc. owns Mid Florida Properties. Lbcv, Inc. has Mark Morse as one of the directors along with Gary Moyer. Also Martin Dzuro is a Vice President of Lbcv, Inc. My money says The Villages is the new owner of the property as Maury L Carter and Associates is a commercial real estate company and their website shows the property as sold now. Yes it is a Villages secret that is now OUT.

Of course those of us who live south of CR 466 are glad they didn't stop at 466.
I guess it's human nature to decry additional building as soon as a spot is secured in The Villages.

I agree. In the meantime we, like all intelligent senior citizens, are just trying to enjoy each day we are fortunate to be alive.

Don't forget about the 27,000 acres just outside of Yeehaw Junction that was purchased for $135,000,000 12 years ago and is sitting there waiting to be developed. no one knows who the real buyer was. Could this be the next Villages?

Absolutely. If build out never occurs, so be it.
It's still a visionary, well-planned community!

There is a bridge just south of the rest area on the turnpike.

Of course. There will always be more Villages, and why shouldn't there be as long as there is a demand.

Look at Google Maps there is a bridge over the turnpike just east of the service center.
All ready to connect to Fenny..

Yes it is. I love how this place is run and the planning and the expertise and the beautiful green spaces allotted. The Morses have secured their fortune but continue to work. I admire them all.

I second your unprofessional opinion

While technically true, your post is misleading.

The bridge over the turnpike and the eastern edge of Fenney are 2 miles apart.

There are a few large parcels separating the two and as we have seen, the developer has deep pockets. It's easy to imagine that the current owners (Bingham Hide Co. and Bexley Sumter Inc.) would sell to the developer.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Developers already have Options on these two properties.

Thanks - gave me a chuckle this morning.

As someone has already pointed out, there is Bailey Road over the turnpike in addition to the more traditional overpasses. Now we just have to start connecting all the land parcels above and below the Turnpike before the assault on 44.

I too fully agree. It may not be obvious or even important to many but moving into a "new" community (IMO) offers many more opportunities to make new friends and quickly become part of the local village culture. We didn't intend to buy south of 466A but it has turned out to have been a great decision for us. Plus, we are that much closer to Disney World!
