Unsatisfied with The Villages?
 
I have completed an extensive study to find a better suited location for the folks that are concerned about Taxes, Traffic, Neighbors too close and exspantion.

Google Dryden Texas to find the very place where none of the problems above will happen to you.

$59,000 Dollars will buy this wonderful ranch.

It's been on the market over six months, so you could probably get them down.

59 acres is an awfully small spread for Texas.

Is that a golf course I am looking at? Did I miss the swimming pool?

You get what you pay for.

You could build a nine hole golf course or an 18 hole par three course on it.

But you'd also have to build a clubhouse and parking lot etc. You'd also have to figure out where your clientele would come from.

It's over 200 miles to San Antonio, the nearest population center.

You could get a boom box if the radio signal reaches and dance in the pasture fro 5 till 9 each night.

Watch out for the cow dung.

It seems like the perfect opportunity for those who think TV is so terrible. They could invest--and risk--everything they had ever worked and saved for, and apply their visionary skills, to buy ranch land tracts just like Harold Schwartz and son Gary Morse did:
"History

Harold Schwartz, a Michigan businessman, began selling land tracts via mail order in The Villages area in the 1960s. He and his business partner Al Tarrson were put out of business by a 1968 Federal law that banned mail order sales of real estate.

Stuck with considerable portions of Florida land, in the early 1970s Schwartz and Tarrson began development of a mobile home park, Orange Blossom Gardens, in the northwestern corner of Lake County. By the early 1980s, the community had sold only 400 units. Trying to improve the business, Schwartz decided to buy out Tarrson's interest and bring his son, H. Gary Morse, on board in 1983.

Morse noted that the successful retirement communities (such as Del Webb's Sun City developments) offered numerous well-maintained amenities to the residents. They also had diverse and nearby commercial development. Morse began to significantly upgrade the development. Their sales improved in the mid-1980s. Schwartz began to buy large tracts of land in nearby Sumter and Marion counties for future expansion. In 1992 Morse officially changed the overall development name to The Villages. The development is still controlled in all major aspects by descendants of Schwartz and Morse."

Looks pretty crowded. I think a stop light is called for.
