Here is a link talking about the property.

Miami will soon be a bedroom community to us.

We will be able to go to Disneyworld in our carts. :a040:

[tv2016]

Wonder how far from Fenney.

[NYGUY]

I would guess that the development of noncontiguous villages will enhance our property values.

[xkeowner]

The property appears to be adjacent to the Bailey Road overpass which currently only has dirt approaches to bridge across the turnpike. The approaches could probably be paved and used for golf carts.

From the East side of Fenney to the West side on this new land is about 2 miles of travel distance by car or bike.

Bailey rd overpass is just the correct width for a two lane golf cart bridge. Smart move for the Villages. We now know how they will cross the Fl. Turnpike. Now for Rt 44.

Now for a laugh-----this is a post by someone from May 2016 regarding the purchase of land south of 44:

"This rumor is just about as plausible as what a Realtor (one of the major real estate firms selling in the area) told me a about six months ago. He told me, with a serious face, that The Village Developer had purchase 32,000 acres south of 44 to continue building The Villages. I ask politely if he meant 3,200 acres----no it was 32,000 and it came from a very reliable source that knows the family very well.

Sometimes you don't know to laugh or to cry. I walked away laughing to myself about this absurd rumor"

Would that be Scott Hubbard ?

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging but ...
I posted about the parcel back in September 2016.

Yes. I remember that thread. And I remember the suspicion that it was The Villages buying it through an intermediary which now appears to be accurate.

[villagetinker]

So in the near future, Brownwood will be the CENTER of the villages..................

[NYGUY]

I think where we now live will be The Homeland while "The Developer" will continue to develop other Villages wherever they deem appropriate.

Nah... they'll just extend the monorail to 466A.

Thanks!

[xNYer]

Is the new area about 1/2 way between Fenney and the current southern border near route 44?

I think you're right. :thumbup:

[Opmoochler]

I wish I didn't feel now as if this might be the only house purchased in our lifetime that won't appreciate in value.

[Barefoot]

I wish I didn't feel now as if this might be the only house purchased in our lifetime that won't appreciate in value.Of course it's a guess, but I think houses on the original "Homeland" will appreciate in value.

[Polar Bear]

I can't figure out any possible reason why you think that might be the case. :confused:

[NYGUY]

I think that's right. We will be living where the supply has maxed out (The Homeland). All new owners will be living in separate noncontiguous villages.

[JoMar]

I would guess that the development of noncontiguous villages will enhance our property values.

Until it becomes contiguous.

[Bonny]

If there is available property, someone will build on it. I would much rather have the Villages develop it than someone who could care less about the Villages.

Sort of like a " Collector Car " or in this case a " Collector House " on the original " Homeland "..Unbelievable ..

That's called California Dreaming.... tra..laa..laa ...laaa la.la :plane:

Would anyone want to live that close to the high security Federal Penitentiary in Wildwood, Fl ? ;-)

That's easy to figure out...Relatives and Friends of the Inmates..Just think easy everyday visits and in all likelihood Golf Cart Accessible. Kinda like a No Brain-er...The Morse Family have every angle covered. :plane:

I lived closer to a Max in Michigan where all the psycho lifers were. Never gave it a second thought. Those guys aren't escaping.

Same was said when building the new section south of 466A. "Would anyone want to live that close to Wildwood?"

Bring Plenty of Snacks ,, map to find charging stations, or spare gas cans to fill up LOL :beer3:

[kstew43]

I do believe I mentioned that the villages owned or are in the process of owning land all the way to Center Hill.. hwy48.

I found that information out back in August 2016....

No one believed me....about the bridge over the turnpike...

told ya so...

So get ready to run naked Gracie.

Not sure I get your point. The land just purchased by TV is north east of the turnpike. There is no need to cross it.

Unless they want it connected to Fenny.

Too bad you did not ask the realtor about playing golf in July.

[golfing eagles]

Didn't have to---I play every July. And June, and August, all months that end in "y", "h", "l", "e", "t", "r"---and if we had a month ending in "q" I'd play then as well. Ask a central NY realtor about playing in January.
