Question This is Interesting!

I just read that Whitney Morse -- daughter of Mark Morse, listed her house at 260 Oak Hammock Path for $2,900,000 and it has a contract pending on the sale but is still looking for back-up offers.

The interesting thing is that the property was NOT listed with the Properties of the Villages.
It was listed by a MLS Realtor.

Hmmmmmm . . . so what does that tell you? I guess she wanted more exposure.

Is that actually part of the Villages? The gate gives the impression that it was not.

But sure, the people shopping for $3M homes probably are not the same as those shopping for $400K homes.

Also states that the house was built in 2023. I'm guessing it wasn't really "Her" house, but a spec home. 260 Oak Hammock

Spec house for sure, on 10 acres. The look it has is how houses are being built and remodeled quite recently. Frankly the look does not appeal to me.

Is that grass above the garage in the back?
Not to my taste at all. Very sterile.

Looks to be part of the Morse estate and is not part of The Villages proper.

This is Oak Hammock off 466

Oak Hammock Path is north of 466 behind a gate with a sign that reads Glen Oak Hammock. According to the Villages Districts map it is not within one of the CDDs.

That house has been for sale for a couple of months. Without a doubt, one of the ugliest houses I've ever seen.

I agree with many of above statements.
Cold, sterile, etc. its minimal on steroids.
My garage is more homely than that place.
Even the patio and outside area is bleak.
Could spend the asking price on something much nicer.

Monstrosity!!! No warmth whatsoever. Looks like the lobby of a NYC corporate office building.
