More Villages Property
 

Here is a link talking about the property.

The Villages Purchases 2,327 Acres on Florida Turnpike

Miami will soon be a bedroom community to us.

We will be able to go to Disneyworld in our carts. :a040:

Might take awhile. LOL :laugh:

Wonder how far from Fenney.

I would guess that the development of noncontiguous villages will enhance our property values.

A Golf Cart Link to Cross The Turnpike?
 

The property appears to be adjacent to the Bailey Road overpass which currently only has dirt approaches to bridge across the turnpike. The approaches could probably be paved and used for golf carts.

Google Maps

From the East side of Fenney to the West side on this new land is about 2 miles of travel distance by car or bike.

Bailey rd overpass is just the correct width for a two lane golf cart bridge. Smart move for the Villages. We now know how they will cross the Fl. Turnpike. Now for Rt 44.

Now for a laugh-----this is a post by someone from May 2016 regarding the purchase of land south of 44:

"This rumor is just about as plausible as what a Realtor (one of the major real estate firms selling in the area) told me a about six months ago. He told me, with a serious face, that The Village Developer had purchase 32,000 acres south of 44 to continue building The Villages. I ask politely if he meant 3,200 acres----no it was 32,000 and it came from a very reliable source that knows the family very well.

Sometimes you don't know to laugh or to cry. I walked away laughing to myself about this absurd rumor"

Would that be Scott Hubbard ?

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging but ...
I posted about the parcel back in September 2016.

Yes. I remember that thread. And I remember the suspicion that it was The Villages buying it through an intermediary which now appears to be accurate.

Vroom, Vroom.:gc::gc:

So in the near future, Brownwood will be the CENTER of the villages..................
