Would the developer ever buy Continental Country Club?

[FloridaGuy66]

I know it's a stretch, but seems like it would offer the developer a good footprint in an area that's highly valued. As for the homes there, it's not that different than the "Historic section" of TV.

Seems that if TV residents could have full access to that property that it would add some golf options and many more miles of golf cart paths to venture on including potential access to the new Walmart being built.

Just like Greenland, it’s not for sale.

[Topspinmo]

Why? When they got plenty of land to build on and plenty of houses in pipe line.

[GpaVader]

I know many of the residents there, they would oppose it.

When the developer bought the property splitting Eagle wood mobile home park, to build Brownwood bridge, many wondered why the smaller section of that mobile home park wasn’t included to make TV commercial property larger. That property is for sale, yet developer didn’t buy.

My guess is why buy an entire modular home community, if they could just buy rights for whatever needs to be built? Or why doesn’t Walmart buy it, since it could benefit their sales. Then again Walmart knows people are going to shop there with or without a cart access

[BillyGrown]

Why? Why purchase liability? If I owned many high end cars and someone offered an AMC Gremlin to me for sale, why would I buy it? It isn’t like there is a lack of land availability to build many more new homes.

[BillyGrown]

We love The Villages. The roads, the flowers, the landscaping, is all so beautiful and that area is a dive. They would have way too much to repair if they bought that and it would be next to all those apartments.

Let me take a WAG. You live around the RT 44 area.

Continental Country Club tends to look down at theVillages, they would never sell

Driving by looks nothing special to me.

It's far from "special" and one the most poorly designed and confusing developments/golf courses I've ever been in.

Guessing is all any of us can do. Either the area was not for sale or not wanted by The Developer. I personally think that the Morse family has generally done very well for those living in The Villages and also continues to learn and make decisions that are good for all of us and our property values.

There was 10’ For Sale sign in the front of that part of Mobil park. It went up shortly after “The First To Cross Brownwood Bridge” caravan on December 23, 2020.The sign has been made larger, but still For Sale.

I know that for a fact because we were the first to cross the Brownwood Bridge, and with the first Feline in the group to ever participate in a TV promoted event.

Did TV buy the golf course RV park on 301 at 470? It was sold but I'm not sure who bought it.

Rumors floated around some time ago that the developer did buy the golf course only. It was short lived.

If the lots in Continental CC are individually owned, purchasing would become very difficult.

What property was split by the Brownwood bridge??? Continental CC is miles from Brownwood. There are some trailers to the left of the southern exit of the bridge, but nothing was split. If the reference should have been to the Chitty Chatty bridge, then Continental is on the other side of Morse, again, nothing was split to my knowledge.

[Stu from NYC]

Great idea, the restaurant is excellent.

[Freeda]

Yes, we live Paulie's Oaks. Plus great karaoke there in the very nice bar area 4-7 on Saturdays.

I would guess they tried. There is probably also something in the lot’s deed, the association’s bylaws that makes its difficult

[terryf484]

I would hate to see that as the course is kept in excellent condition by current management and would most likely go down hill if bought by TV.

Each resident owns their property. It would be a difficult transaction.

"Would the developer ever buy Continental Country Club?"

Read the question and you have the answer.....

The DEVELOPER develops land, the land is already developed.

You took the words out of my mouth. The developer is just that. They make money when they aquire land, build a house, and you buy it. At that point, you now own the land, pay taxes to the governing body, and the developers responsibility ends. They only make additional money through your continued use of a "developer owned" property such as championship golf course and commercial business through rent.

So in the case of Continental, they could only make money if they removed the mobile homes and built houses that were then put up for sale. And that would be a slow process and wouldn't be very profitable compared to their building new houses on all the land they already have acquired. Remember, the developer is just that, they develop new communities on land they have acquired, sell those houses, and move on.

[merrymini]

Have eaten at their restaurant. Not that good. Why the heck would the developers want to buy that? It looks like the developers of TV know what they are doing so far.

[Normal]

Yuk,those trailer courts have one lot right on top of the next. Double Yuk!

Its a nice course, but its most valuable asset is the fact that Mickey Mantle once lived there.

[HORNET]

If you would have been here before 2007 - 2009 you would know the answer!
