Default Developer purchases MORE land

The Villages has purchased 652 acres of land south of County Road 44 that will guarantee golf cart access down to the Village of Fenney and the Village of Southern Oaks.

The announcement of the purchase was made Saturday night at a meeting for Villages sales associates.

The land is located near the Rohan Recreation Center south of County Road 44 and along County Road 468.

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Now watch for the white space to start getting filled in and move further south. Orlando, here we come.

Don't expect your property values to rise anytime soon

I will say what I have been saying. Baby Boomers are retiring at about ten thousand a day for the next 19 years. I think our property values are pretty solid.

We aren't stupid and we bought here, why shouldn't a lot of them?

AND someone is going to build around us, I would prefer it is the Morses. They have the hang of it.

Fact or fiction ? Were not the present purchasers of new homes in Fenney told there would be no golf cart connection ?

Perhaps they purchased because there was to be no connection. Wonder if they have to wait a year before selling. Sounds like a breach of an implied contract.

We were told when we looked at a house, at the present time they did not own the property to connect by golf cart. However they were in negotiations and we're hopeful. You can choose to take your golf cart wherever you want. Now it will be golf cart accessible Fenny residents will have less cars from our part of town to drive down to use their amenities. Our neighbors who bought were hoping for cart access.

Thanks - that is a lot different then being told there would be no connection. Sounds like honesty did prevail.

Since I do not have any idea of what was on peoples minds when they bought in Fenny. I can't even answer that question. We would Buy because of the house, the walking paths, zero entry pool, nature

Gosh, Thank you. No one has ever called me that and I had perfectly good Dale Evans capguns back when.

I think that people will adjust to having a cart path to Fenney and all will be well. We are usually used to plans being changed unexpectedly...at our age.

My post was sincere - I could understand some people wanting to live in The Villages with a little bit less hustle and bustle. In fact my thought process was / is anyone that purchased in Fenney probably wanted a little isolation. Thus what exactly were they told on one of the biggest investments of their lives. I don't know - I'm asking.

But we will need more gas stations enroute, and I think electric golf carts will have greater difficulty making long hauls. (P.S., I had a Gene Autry outfit - chaps, gun & holster.)
