I wonder what the bond will cost on this house?

I have heard that it has four baths and four bedrooms and that it is a spec house.

Does anyone know whether that is true? It is one of the best, if not THE best lot in all of The Villages in my opinion.

I've heard gossip that it might be the prototype for bigger homes in the new area across 466A. (But it is just TALK)

Friends have just moved into a house very close to it and they are quite curious and amazed at the size and beauty of the setting.

I have friends in La. who almost bought that lot. (they are very wealthy). I believe they said the price of THE LOT was over 300 thousand!!!! They were not ready to build and the "1 year to build" program did not apply to this lot.

I am guessing that if you can pay $300K for the lot, you don't care what the bond costs.

Like they say about the big boats when you go shopping - if you have to ask what it costs, you probably can't afford it.

So now that you can buy a lot ahead of time and they can hold it, than you have to build on it in a certain time? So that is how that works. And the lot price can show up in sumterpa.com? Sorry. I sounded like a know it all and I now am back to my original blonde condition.

Gracie --

I dont know if that would show on that site ... I was down on 2 lifestyle visits --and I was offered a few lots for a designer home (golf course or view sites) I was told I can put down 2500 and pay another 2500 every 3 months for a year and then you need to start building --but at the end of the 12 months If you decide you like a different lot you can switch the money already spent to that new lot but you need to start building immediately ....

I dont know if they consider the property sold or reserved ....

coming down the first week in June to RESERVE my Lot -----

I think the reference was the selling price of the LOT.

It's $969,400 - but remember this isn't the "subject" house, just the closest sold house on the appraiser's web site.

What is interesting is the way the road kind of ends in a cul-de-sac and then continues to where the "subject" house is located. Guess that would allow for a gate? (Isn't there another area over by Spanish Springs that only accepts certain gate cards?)

That's a hard one to compare - there are some in Bridgeport with assessed land value close to $300,000 - but you have to remember that land values have changed, they may have paid more for the "premium lot site". If my memory serves me right some designer homes built on Palmer had lot premiums in the six figures.

I think that this is a VERY desirable location and the house looks different and unusual. The interest point to me is that The Villages doesn't usually DO different and unusual. They just don't do anything in the way of customizing even Premier homes, in my opinion. They have this package or that package but...I have not seen a THREE car garage. Maybe I don't get out much.

Want to know. I am curiouser and curiouser.

I think the first house on the right as you enter Bridgeport of Lake Sumter has a three car garage.

Gracie,
I have seen designer homes with three car garages, not many but they are out there. There is one on Moncks Corner, I love to check out the houses when I'm jogging.

I stand corrected and glad to be. We will be saving our change so we can have one of those someday.(Maybe 2030?) A three car garage would go far to replace our basement up north.

I am such a know it all.

I still want to know who....who, WHO is gonna live in my dream house?

The 1 year to start building is for non golf course lots only. I was told golf course would be 3 months to start. At least that was what my agent told me via e-mail last month.
