Corner of Buena Vista and Old Mill Run, anybody know/speculate
 
what all the earth moving and digging is for? Sure hope they do not remove that large oak down by Buena Vista. The back hoes were digging around the base of the tree this morning.

What a sad sight. The hill on the property with two magnificent oak trees was leveled today. They took down the two trees.::cryin2: We would take our cart up there and walk our dog and take in the beautiful view of Lake Sumpter. Gone........ I have no idea what is being built and hope it's not another parking lot for the new medical center.

All that talk about the big house in Pennecamp irritated me. And it's way out there, away from the action. Not to be outdone I decided to build a new place. That big empty lot was ripe for the taking.

My new place will be 12,000 sq feet with a 7 car garage. They will construct it with a nice view over the water. Speaking of water, there will be a moat.

I told them to leave the tree alone.

And don't get any ideas of wandering through the place before it is done, there will be gators in the moat. (Don't worry, you'll be invited to the house warming - minimum house warming gift - $25,000 - or one hand of poker for Tiger.)

Oh, I'm so relieved! Thought it was a Goodyear store with 7 bays.

Where's our inside guy, Mr GMoney, when you need him? I bet he knows the real answer to the question on what is going in to the heretofore empty field.

I've heard that it's residential ...but only a rumor. The Sumter County appraiser website calls it "UNPLATTED SUB EDGEWATER IN THE VILLAGES OF SUMTER DISTRICT 6...which sounds residential. Wonder if it'll be villas, designers or premiers???

Pturner 04-01-2010 06:59 PM

No, no, no. Don't pave paradise to put up a parking lot. :eek:

Buena Vista and Old Mill
 
I could be wrong, but I believe it is going to be a medical center with a surgery clinic operating there.

villages07 04-01-2010 09:21 PM

GatB...you're thinking about the empty field adjacent to the lifestyle villas and across from Barnes and Noble. Site work on this has been underway and it will be a day surgery center.

What we're referring to is the empty field across the street from the lifestyle villas, next to Waterfront Hotel. There has been no official announcement on what's going in there.

marianne237 04-01-2010 09:23 PM

I had always hoped it would become a park....with benches and tables to sit and play chess or checkers and just have a quiet place to sit and watch the lake. Boo hoo.

GMONEY 04-02-2010 05:36 AM

I know beside Creekside Landing will be Creekside Medical Plaza, and there is suppose to be a Cancer Center going in. Not sure If that is what will be beside the WaterFront Inn or not. I have some poeple checking it out.

the area besides The Waterfront Inn is going to be Edgewater Cotteges. Suppost to be like Lakeshore Cottege area on the other side of Lake Sumter Landing. Pass on more infor as I get it. Across from that is the Creekside Medical. think the Cancer Center is suppose to be there from what I am hearing.

I guess I always knew it would not stay an open space, but we really liked going there around sunset. Lake Sumter on one side and a beautiful sunset on the other.....

It sure will change the view for those homes on Palmer also....

Right on the GMoney, as usual....thanks G. Do you know if the new Edgewater residential cottages will be immediately for sale or will they be an extension of the Lifestyle Plan Cottages?

I'm sure they will be tastefully done and architecturally pleasing. Glad it's not going to be a parking lot or more commercial space. Although, we sure could use a South end Katie Belles and another Bowling alley.

Buena Vista and Old Mill
 
OOOPS, you are correct........senior moments..........what would we do without them? Then on the other hand I heard that it might be the place where the monolith was going to be built....you know from the movie? But then, it;s only hearsay. LOL
