The last two lots on Minoa Drive on the cul de sac went for $600,000 and $650,000 each.
Yes the above big numbers are for the lot only.
Oh by the way the village of Bridgeport at Lake Miona sold out/built out the first 12-24 months!!!!!!!!!!
Everything is relative. And everybody gets the same amenities regardless of the price of the lot/house. That is the beauty of TV.
Live where you can afford and afford where you live and each be happy with their own....eh?

Couple head scratchers here....
We looked at a place in Sunset Pointe with arguably one of the best views in TV, but our hometown friends were so passionate we let them have it, and they are ready to come sooner.
There's a little stretch of golf course, then a nice pond, and just beyond that Miona Lake and preserve. You don't see anything but nature.
Unlike the seven figure peninsular homes on Baypoint, this one does not have the labyrinthian drive to get there, is not the focus of TV tourists, and you don't get the view of hundreds of homes in TV and outparcels like Lakeside Landings (with all due respect, an ongoing project in progress)
For what we infer from BTK's figures, they nearly got a free home!
speaking of 'free homes' we looked at that wooded, unoccupied-for-more-than-five-years place in Harmeswood on a huge near-acre lot, where the back fence is near the power lines and sits on the Marion line.
We called the FSBO number on the knocked-over sign
The cantankerous owner said "it's free - you buy the lot, worth $750,000, and you get the house. It's got a $10,000 chandelier"
"Well, how do we see it?"
"Get me a check for $750,000, but you can look in some of the windows with the shades up"
We opted out, any place empty that long is probably haunted.
As far as the 'Sitting Down'-Sad-face response...
Gracie makes great points.
And we'll add:
If your decision is price based, do you need a pool?
Linda is an aquaphile, and while her preferred ocean or gulf is almost 2 hours, the TV pools are terrific. 10 min. on foot, 2 on trike.
Temps are usually great, and they are usually devoid of critters, be they humans or micro organisms.
She was a pool slave back north and we were happy when we moved so 'the next guys' could have it .
(We opted for a small barn and a couple horses
(another form of slavery!)to keep the girls out of trouble as teens
Also, why not look at resales. We thought we stole the two places we got.
One was for us (some day) , and the other was a cottage for an ailing sister (who won't be needing it any more)
We made some 'they wont take it" offers but lo and behold.......
We didn't even know about TOTV at the time, and did almost no research.
For our place, we saw it on Sally's site after returning home, (having been in remorse for missing the one on the preserve) had our agent and savvy TV friends run over and take a few more pix, and made the nutty offer.
Good luck, keep reading and keep us posted.
