Anyone else hear today that the Developer closed........
 

…...on the purchase of Continental Country Club? I heard that at work this afternoon.

Would not surprise me

It make no sense. What does it even mean?

Each house is individually owned by the resident. It's impossible to imagine the Developer closed on hundreds of individual homes. And for what purpose?

Or did the Developer buy the CCC club house and golf course? Again for what purpose? The club house and golf course are surrounded by all those houses. And do you think the current CCC house owners would sit quietly and just let that happen?

Although it's a mildly interesting rumor, it makes no sense to me. Remember ... follow the money. I don't see any financial reason for the Developer to buy CCC.

They haven't purchased other people's problems in the past, buying CCC would definitely be buying someone else's problems. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with or at CCC, the comment is directed at buying any property that would have to maintain and operate instead of plowing it under. Buying an existing facility brings with it all its history and promises that they would have to honor.

The rumor mill is alive and well.

Is Continental Country Club a public Golf Course on 44 near Brownwood?

continental country club wildwood fl - Bing

The course conditions over there are about the same as here.You won't notice much difference

Yes

Yes

:icon_wink: Whoever told you should have saved it for April 1st. :1rotfl:

I will find out for sure at 2pm................I'm getting a hair cut.

Just one?, why not get them all cut?:1rotfl::1rotfl::clap2::MOJE_whot::boom:

I tend to not worry or care what other people buy:ohdear: cause it’s none of my business :duck:

I did my best to search Sumter County public records on line to see if I could find a deed transfer for Continental County Club, but could not find anything? If this sale in fact did happen it will be interesting to learn the Developers reasoning for the transaction and how it may effect the Villages. For one thing, it would represent the first addition of Championship golf in a very long time and since many thousands of new homes have been built.

I agree, but if they did buy, did they buy into the whole package?

Facilities - Continental Country Club FL

Just looked at the google map view of Continental and am wondering if a golf cart bridge is planned to go over 44 near the Rohan Regional Recreation Center to access the Villages South. If so, it is very easy to see how golf cart connectivity could be easily linked to Continental?

Think about it, people are pining for another championship down that way; a lot less money would be spent updating that course rather than building a brand new one. And if it becomes a new village, new homes would be site built to replace the mobile homes as they become unrepairable, as done on the Historic Side.

:ohdear: Come on think about it..... new courses cost nothing considering the premium on a golf course lot. The people buying on the course pay for it.

They are in the home building business..... not the home buying business. But.......

I would consider buying in the Village of Pembroke Fairways.....:icon_wink:

Wasn’t there an article in the not to be named paper, about a road going through this park? Dividing it in half?

🤣🤣🤣

I like the idea of a championship golf course south of 44! I wonder how those of us in the villages of Fenney/DeSoto/McClure/Marsh Bend would get there by golf cart? I guess they would just let us use a golf cart like they do up north until the bridges are operational sometime by the end of 2020 or 2021! Then it would be a long trek up Marsh Bend to the bridge over the turnpike all the way up to Brownwood then over to the bridge over 44 then to where? Or the bridge from the Lake Deaton plaza over to Chitty Chatty to where? There could be a plan for another tunnel under Morse Blvd right into CCC from Chitty Chatty.

If the restaurant gets sold as well then the restaurant monopoly of TV gets another opportunity to offer the same food as all their other food factories. Oh boy I can't wait for yet another mediocre restaurant we won't go to.

I really dig the rumor mill!

I don’t believe the mobile home area is individually owned . They have been trying to purchase the mobile homes area for quite some time. They have been to the town to several times to change zoning on that property. They even tried to get the property condemned so as to evict the people on it. Go back into the town records to see this info. It’s been going on for 2 years since they bought all the property near there. I have been following their methods on it. I would not be surprised if this is what they purchased. They do not want this mobile park in the middle of the villages. That is probably the reasoning behind it.

Deed transfers take about a month to be recorded. If it just happened you wouldn't find it on a search yet.

If the lots in CCC are leased and not owned by the residence it is possible that the developer could force the owners to move the trailers as their leases exspire. In a few years that would open the land up for new home development along with a championship golf course and clubhouse.

Not even close! CCC golf course is a goat track.

I live at Continental Country Club and we were not bought by the Villages.

That reminds me of Sam Snead riding a train into St. Andrews for the 1946 British Open.

He asked a fellow passenger if that was an abandoned golf course next to the train track and was told that was the Royal and Ancient Golf Club.

The lots in CCC are all privately owned by the residents. A buyout of all the properties would be next to impossible and hardly worth the expense. There is much more unused/pasture land contiguous to existing owned properties that would be far easier, less expensive, and less controversial to develop and grow The Villages.

The Villages bought only the amenities because they needed the road that runs through it. All home owners own their properties, the Villages now owns the club house, all roads, golf course, pool and recreation areas. The owners there are very upset, I have a work colleague who lives there. The Villages needed their roads. The facility, not the homes are now owned by the Villages.

The big question is do the homeowners own their lots, or lease them? Many mobile home parks rent the lots.

I personally know for a fact that this rumor is NOT TRUE

Interesting. Just curious, why would the homeowners be upset, they bought homes at non-Villages prices and instantly become Villagers. I would think their home values just went way up, assuming they are privy to all Villages amenities and lifestyle advantages? Perhaps I am missing something.

Very funny

I am taking all other posts and speculations with a pinch of salt, until I get the latest news from the barbers!!:icon_wink:

CCC Rumor
 

Do Not Believe Everything You Hear And Only Half Of What You See.

Villagers Can Wish In One Hand And **** In Other Hand

Guess Which One Fills Up First :a040::a040::a040::boom:

Why assume that they want to be part of the villages. CCC was built early 90's ish The villages was a long ways away then. It is quite possible that they like it not being a villager.

True, but they might not have a say in it, at least as far as the course and amenities go.

They are not Villagers. Their roads and amenities are now owned by the Villages because the family needed the roads. The homeowners are upset because there will be increased traffic through the area and they don't know if they will be allowed to use the amenities there anymore or how much they will have to pay to use just their old ones, they are not nor probably will ever be Villagers.

Considered buying a place there for my daughter a few years ago and they were involved in a lawsuit because the place was loaded with termites.

CCC is truly a gated community. If the rumor is true I understand why they would be upset with outsiders having access to their roads.
