Golf cart MM entrance access and the GC bridge over to Lake Deaton Plaza and the Rohan RRC around the corner. Beautiful walking trails backing to Chitty Chatty preserve and a short 8 min GC ride to Sawgrass Grove. It sold me and for $250-$300 less than the one in Bonifay. TV currently having Open Houses Mon-Sat.
There are a lot of nice things about this house, and the pool is a nice addition. I don’t follow lot prices, but my recollection is that lots in that area went for about $40,000 for average lots but close to $300,000 for the choicest lots with a full lake view—just for the lot. I think that house would sell for $350,000 easy as it is if it had no view in that neighborhood. Add $300,000 for where the lot is and we are at $650,000. Perhaps the original price listed isn’t taking into account the lot.
