Does The Villages have...?

[Doro22]

About a year ago I believe I heard the The V was going to develop properties on the north end with parcels with large acreage where one could have a barn & a horse & fencing. I haven’t seen any mention of this lately. Does anyone know if this is happening?

[Sandtrap328]

Yes, it is happening.

Call The Villages realty office to see if there are any left to sell.

When I win Mega Millions tonight I might be able to afford one of the sites!

There are 7 parcels total. According to Marion County GIS, one was sold during August 2017.

I’m not asking for myself, happy where I am. We have guests coming down soon looking around the area for something like that, so I thought I’d check to see if something like that is viable.

[Doro22]

But thanks for the information ya’ll.

Lots start at half million and Association fees $6000. A year plus amenity fee.

TV ran large sales ads for Chatham Acres in the Sun several times about 2 or 3 months ago.

Spanish Springs Trolley tour goes to Chatham Acres. 2 hour tour in total. I think tours occur at 11am and 2pm, but best to check with the SS sales office. Might be a nice way for your guests to see the area and learn about it.

Why would anyone pay that kind of money for a piece of land and then that kind of assn. fee plus ongoing amenity fees?

You can do better dollar-wise elsewhere but close by.

We had visitors one of the cold days last week and we took that tour since I had never been on the one in the north end before. They didn't go to Chatham Acres or Phillips Villas. I was surprised.

Because they can.

Well I’ll inform our guests about the area. I’m pretty sure they won’t go for those exhorbitant prices. But I believe being informed is a good thing. Thanks everyone for all the input. As far as I can tell...doesn’t appear to be a hot item at this time.
