Default My NEW FAVORITE Village

We were out on a ride tonight and drove through Sunset Ridge at Sunset Point....

WOW....Gorgeous homes and beautiful landscaping! The home on the left just as you drive in has it's own little putting green....not sure if it is used but it is such a nice landscaping touch!

If you live there...I love your neighborhood....just beautiful!!!

I have picked out my future home....but I need to keep working for a few more (20) years.....and just need to wait for it to go on sale!


PS...in case you don't know where this is....it is across the street from Cane Garden.

Cassie,

When Sailor and I were looking to buy, we, too fell in love with the area....we are just down the street from Cane Gardens and Sunset Pointe.

I know....that is how we found it...we went out to take a look at your FANTASTIC, beautiful POOL!!!


The homes in Sunset Ridge are similar to some of the Bridgeports....seemingly smaller lots and closer together....but I think it seems cozier!! A cozy neighborhood of HUGE homes! Love it!!!

PS....hope your neighbors did not call in a panic that there was a woman walking around your house taking pictures!! LOL!!

PSS...We are going to copy your pool....it is so perfect for a relaxing cool down and the hot tub for a warm up in winter! You have GREAT taste my friend! No wonder we get a long! LOLOLOLOL

Agree Cassie. I to live in Sunset Pointe. And that whole area is really great. Close to LSL, very quiet, lots of golf, preserves, and great neighbors. We live on the Heron golf course and also have a pool. Sunset Ridge is really nice, but like where I am better.

We stayed there on our third lifestyle and loved the area. Heron is one of our favorite golf courses. Also, I agree Cassie.....I love Shirl pool and new landscaping...it is all beautiful.

Talking I dug out my TV map.......

Cassie...... I don't know why I hadn't considered that area on the map it looks like it might be fabulous, in a central location and near the Liberty Park Eagle Preserve. Is it a real eagle preserve? Any eagles?

I'll definitely look over there, when I do my first Lifestyle Preview (still don't know when) .

And I thought I had picked out my favorite Village already! Must go Check Sunset Ridge out! Are there any big trees? I love big trees.

So I drove thru LaZamora and fell madly in love with it. Huge Oak trees lining the streets and beautiful older homes.

Does anyone live in LaZamora or know someone who does? Seems like homes never go up for sale in that Village.

CIB,
Yes, there is an Eagle Perserve. Sadley I heard a family of eagles never returned after the '07 tornado that went right through this area. Still there exists a large portion of land for wildlife - an area they will never build on.

Nonie,
Sunset Ridge is indeed beautiful, but like most of the villages south of 466 there are not any huge, old trees. All the landscaping is fairly new.

There are eagles in The Villages. One hunts from SamHass' tree. I saw it with my very eyes.
