Yes, that is in the plans. There is even an existing bridge that used to be used for live stock that will be used to cross The Turnpike. (at least that is what I have read here on TOTV) Bring provisions if you want to cart to Spanish Springs, however.
Hubby and I live in Mallory Square which at this point is mid way between Brownwood and Spanish Springs. We love to listen to music at the squares and are very fortunate to have a wonderful location to be able to cart to all three town squares in a few minutes with Lake Sumter Landing (my personal favorite) nearly a stone's throw away.
We visited Fenney a couple of days ago. We drove along Morse which becomes 468. Oh my goodness....the homes along 468 are not very nice. The entire stretch of road looks like "Tobacco Road". The salesman at Fenney sales center assured us The Villages owns all of that land and the dilapidated homes will all be gone eventually. I asked him if there were any "hold outs" and he said there are always "hold outs". OK then.
I must say Fenney is absolutely gorgeous. Love the old Live Oak trees and the tranquil setting. BUT.....it's not for hubby and me. Fenney is too far from everything by cart. I would feel isolated living there. I also felt the homes on standard lots seem to be closer. The recreation center pool is a family pool. It is a beautiful pool but we much prefer neighborhood pools which are adults only.
We prefer to be closer to the 441 run of retail shopping and restaurants. It's so nice to drive along that stretch of 441 and see the shopping centers landscaped the same as The Villages. That short hop along 441 has so many of the stores and restaurants we were used to up north. We don't want to have to drive half an hour or more every time we want to go shopping there. I would imagine there will be shopping closer to those who live in Fenney but the stores and restaurants won't be in The Villages.
Good luck to those who purchase in Fenney. As others have said before me, it is not for everyone.
