new designer section open
 

Gilchrist # 209 that makes a bunch of available lots for designers models, that makes like over 500 designer lots to choose.

but there are only 13 Cottage lots and those are all high $$ premiums.

What's up with that?

Is the entrance open at Pinellas so you can take it to Bonifay?

Yep. Eastfield is the name of the street off Pinellas. This area is building real fast. Sanibel sold out in what, nine months? We are thrilled with this area south of 466A. Love it!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

We love the area too and can't wait to move in.
Closing 6/5 and movers come 6/12.
Glad to see the new entrance is open.

In answer to your question concerning cottage lots, it used to be that the only series of homes that one could buy the lot and then have a home built on it was designers and premiers. Perhaps that is still the general rule - but they make exceptions for premium lots for cottages.

What is up with that is that things sell fast around here. There are many more Designers sold than Cottages or Premiers.

Had a bit more info from sales, the cottages are going to have 1-2 sections open up he thinks in a few weeks, so there should be over 100 lots to choose from he thinks, said they know there are almost none at the moment.

They build about a third as many cottages as designers.

You do get a designer to help choose the options as you would in a designer model series.

So we'll be there soon.

Good to hear that Jimbo! I wish you good hunting and hope you find what you are seeking! I ended up switching my lot in Fernandina to lot 25 in Gilchrest. Are the lots you are referencing for the cottages also in Gilchrest or another new section to open soon? Whatever the case, nice to know you will have a good choice! Enjoy your time in TV and I wish you luck and perseverance!

Yes based on other info my guess is 215, do you know what streets that would be if you see any cottage spec homes being built that would be a good indication.

Since #209 opened on 5/26 about 45 lots reserved, wow!

All of the view lots in our village sold in two hours.

I think we were so lucky, (AGAIN) to have a wonderful bunch of folks move here in this village who are so helpful, and warm and fun and interesting and fast becoming real friends.

And THAT can be said about any village here.

It is so lovely here today in The Villages. Both of our daughters are here with their dad on Fathers day and we just had a nice brunch at Katie Belles.

I am so happy I could just burst.

Does anyone have any idea of what the bond will be on the designer homes in Gilchrist?

Well if you care to assume 215 in Fernandina which is next door, opening only 3 weeks apart is the same > my contract is $19,488

It depends on the lot and house you choose, but I am on lot 25, jnit 209 in Gilchrist and my estimated Bond is just this side of 21,000.:cryin2:

Fernadinia or Gilchrist?
 

We are ready to purchase a lot in TV and are so excited that the time has finally come! We are trying to decide between Fernadinia or Gilchrist because they currently have lots available but know they will sell fast!
Thoughts on each Village? (Location, size, scenery, etc)
We are doing most of this long distance so are not there to see the progress on the new sections! I'm sure both are wonderful.
We would like a lot on a wall for added privacy and are currently thinking of choosing the Begoina because it has the golf cart garage!
The advice on this site has been fantastic!
