Designers with fenced yards in Fenney

[vintageogauge]

I noticed there are a couple streets completed with designer homes having totally fenced in rear and side yards in Fenney, section 12 south of Fenney Lane. Great idea for those who need more space than a villa provides but want either privacy or space for their pets to run around. I have a feeling that these will sell quickly. There is also a home in that neighborhood that has a very high roof line and two windows on the second floor, haven't seen the inside but looks as though it might have a finished second floor or one really large bonus room with high ceilings. Lot of great options down here.

2nd floor is a bonus room, under heat and air, have seen it use as a exercise room, office. Nice size room, but then there are the stairs

I noticed them this morning not far from fenney rec center. Might want to call a rep to find correct information

[graciegirl]

I wish they would start building homes with wrought iron front fencing. I love that look.

Here is one #12F052 after you get to that one then search the street to find more of them with fenced in yards. This one is an Indigo, 3 bed, 3 baths.

The homes on Zipperer Way and Condrey Ct. all seem to be sporting a fenced yard. As the two sections in Pine Hills with fenced yards seemed to sell very quickly last year I'm sure we're going to see a lot more clusters of homes like these. Have to give credit where credit is due, the builder knows his market and what people want.

Many will rue the day The villages began building fences

[vintageogauge]

They don't look bad at all as you really can't see much of the fences except on the corner lots. I would assume that there are a lot of buyers out there that want something a little larger than a villa but want the ease of letting their dog out without having to go with it. Might be a lot of dog barking going on over there.

[joldnol]

they have cottages with fences too

[Abby10]

Haven't seen any of these homes or cottages yet myself, but for those who have, what do you think of the brown fencing? Previously, in Hemingway for example, I think they had used white fencing on some cottages. Just wondering if they felt the brown looks less stark or what the reasoning was. Also, is it vinyl fencing like the white? I find it really interesting all the different changes they have made since opening Fenney. The developer obviously listens to the wants/desires of the people.

I think its great the developer is adding fencing. Im sure many existing houses would like to have it. They certainly could regulate it so it would be attractive.

Would not want to go down that rabbit hole. Fences are restricted by the deed restrictions of each unit.

To change this the applicable CDD would have to seek a change to the deed restrictions and then it would have to be approved by all parties associated with the deed restrictions - this would be everyone in that unit and the Developer (not The District government or the CDD, but The Villages of Lake-Sumter company) as this is basically a contract between the buyers and the seller.

People can't stand a yard gnome or a simple wooden cross in someone's front yard, imagine the drama if you blocked someone's view with a fence. And who would make the decision of what is attractive...

Anything would be better than the shiny white PVC the developer is installing. Yuck

You just proved my point, who decides what is attractive, personally I like the white fence a lot more than the brown they are using in Fenney now.

There is PVC fencing that doesn’t look like PVC, looks
like wood.

Never thought I would say it but I miss having our own back yard with 6 foot high brown wood fences 20 feet behind the house and 5 foot from each side where we could do our own thing like we did for over 30 years.

Now have 15 ft on sides and 50 feet in back of grass and a large oak with the golf course and more grass and water for hundreds of yards that is just open for anybody who hits a golf ball a bit off the fairway. The view is great but not really ours to make a special space.

I think about that every time I mow my lawn. But, these are the sacrifices we all make.

We lived on a golf course for 15 years, never again, the view is nice but not worth the lack of privacy, ball hunters, trash, grandkids hearing every curse word imaginable, players urinating on the tees, tossing beer cans in the trees, noise, noise, noise. I would much prefer a water or nature view of some type over a golf course, even worse if the cart path or tee is right behind your home.

WOW! I am sure a bad occurrence with a golfer could sour you on the idea of living on a golf course.

We have lived on two different golf courses here in The Villages and have never experienced things like players urinating on tees, tossing beer cans or lots of noise. We enjoy the beautiful view that we see, even from the inside of our house. The occasional interactions with golfers have been friendly and respectful. We live on an Executive Golf Course where golfers tend to move along rather quickly since the distances are short.

Our golf front property provides an open back yard with palm trees and someone else who is responsible for taking care of them. To each his own.

[vintageogauge]

Our's was on a private club course, our deck was right behind the #5 tee and believe me, when the golfers got backed up, everything I explained earlier went on there. We even had one guy ask to use our bathroom???. I would suppose if on the side of a fairway that was not near a cart path it would be okay. I can't complain about our view, it was awesome, just the members that thought they could do whatever they wanted. Also, they were a much younger group than we have here. I still wouldn't chance it and would not do it again.

I feel your pain. My vacation home is in a golf course community. I bought pre-construction but the developer had a very detailed mockup of the lots and golf course. I chose a location that was 90 degs from a tee box. I’m not a golfer but my logic was no one can hit a ball 90 degs from their intended direction, it’s a matter of physics. I was wrong. I averaged about one ball per month, either into the stucco, roof, or window. How bad does a golfer need to be, to be that far off??? I’ve never played the game so I came from a place of naiveté. As for buying on a golf course, never again.

[Carla B]

Nine years now by the first tee. Not one errant ball, no loud talk. The only disturbance is sometimes when the mowers go by at 6:15 A.M. Otherwise, it's peace on earth and we don't have to take care of it!

Though generally speaking we're surrounded by chemicals, I'd have no interest in seeking out more by living on a golf course, which I've been told involves far more chemicals for proper maintenance than other outdoor areas, especially for asthmatics and those with other breathing issues.

Are you aware all TV golf courses have been certified to the Audubon Silver level for environmental considerations which include reduced and more environmentally friendly fertilizer and pesticide use?

You are spot on

Every where we moved we built and we would get together with other owners and agree not to build fences but to use natural barriers (shrubs, etc.) It worked well and the back yards were gloriously green.
The problem occurred when the original owners sold and new people would move in and immediately erect a fence and it all went to ----

In Memphis you would literally see a six foot wooden fence up against the opposing neighbor chain link fence. If you followed the evelopments in years built suddenly there was the appearance of run down beat up fencing. what an eye sore .

Can you imagine what villages built already would look like if fencing was allowed. The problems associated with maintaining lawns, fencing etc.

Those who play Voluisa will note that once they reach the 2nd hole they are up high and what does that otherwise beautiful view offer but a sea of asphalt.

What people are really saying is that they want privacy but privacy ( a view) not the house in The Villages requires a great deal more in cash

All homes on golf courses offer a view. the differences lie in which golf course your home resides, where on that golf course your home is located (tee box to green) and whether your home is adjacent to a golf cart path.

We live on Palmer's for better than 11 years and I would not trade it. the location of the golf cart path is on the opposite side of our home. The location of our house is such that we have found about a dozen golf balls in those years. My next door neighbor's home is such that they have bore the grunt of errant golf balls.

We have found all but a very few golfers who lack proper etiquette.

but the biggest factor in my opinion is an owners attitude. If you can't handle living on a golf course don't

While I said it here, I never tell people I live on a golf course. And I like to have a dollar for every golfer I've heard say after hitting a house "that's what they get for buying on a golf course":)

Our neighbors have an invisible fence. They let their dogs out and they run up to the edge of their property, but not a step over. Looks great and works.

Note: to maximize their area, the wires for the fence are actually a foot into my property. I have no problem with a wire under my lawn, and it allows the dogs to run up to the line. Apparently the electric shock works a foot or two from the line.

Better to have invisible neighbors.

Having owned a Holly designer home since 2014, I have grown fond of it over the Boxwood and Bridgeport which are similar in design. I prefer the extra walk-in closet over having a half bathroom as found in the Bridgeport. And, I can live without tray ceilings. Plus the price for new is usually less than the other two. Now, it would be nice to have counter tops that aren’t Formica.

This new Holly looks to have other than Formica, a very reasonable price and a fenced in yard. It’s the first new Holly on the market for some time.
