Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

Here is the latest....sorta from the horse's (buffalo's ?) mouth.....One of the Morse family is not happy with prospective buyers staying in "neighborhoods", and there has been some negative feedback on rental in the LSL Cottages. The buffalo field at Stillwater is to be upscale villas (similar to those at Spanish Springs, but with a different look), and possibly some designer homes. Supposedly, this is on a very fast track and everything else is on hold until this is done. The permits are all in and are being approved.

Planning like this takes months, so it was probably the "right" time to get rid of the buffalo there, in order to start this project.

Guess we'll have to watch and see if this is, indeed, the project.

The Villages, Florida

Who would of guessed. Freedom Point is now being built in a former buffalo range. Now this one?.

As said in some of the posts above, keeping livestock lowers the taxes and keeps the property open until an opportunity comes along.

Sam, I bet you $50,000 they will put residential in that area.

Sorry Sam, too late to pull your bet off the table. I win, I win, I win. :clap2:

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

I was on my way home and stooped and asked a workman what was going in there. He said Villas. I would have bet the other way but after some previous post and then asking I lean towards Villas being correct.

Barefoot, What is wrong with you??? You just won 72 mil in the lottery and you want to collect a measly 50k from me???? Gee whiz.

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

Sorry Sam, you're right .. with $72 mil I don't need your measly $50K. :chillout:

And now I can buy one of those new Villas in the buffalo field next to LSL. Life just has a way of working out. ;)

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

Ha Bare, I'm not sure how much yard space the new villas will have. I suspect they will be high density. Where will the pups play???

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

I hope something good is going in there as the back of our new house will face it! :bow:

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

Today they were digging a very deep hole next to the fence. There are also stacks of stone that look like the stone they used to build all the stone walls around the tunnels. Lot's of speculation, and no confirmation yet.

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

Laura,

You are right...lots of speculation, no confirmation. Now, I understand the developer keeps his future plans as a close hold secret, but, wouldn't ya think that once the survey stakes went up, the fence came down, and heavy equipment/supplies moves in, that the Developer, by way of the Daily Sun, would publish an announcement as to what is being built there? A few solid facts would sure tone done rampant speculation. It's his land but it is our community and we are all keenly interested in what goes on around here.

So, SunReporter, TOTV member in good standing...are ya reading this? Can you convince your publishers to print an article about the LSL Buffalo field?

I was thinking ... your back yard?

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

07, nice point. TV is well aware of how rumors fly around here. One would think they could announce plans for the site in The Sun . Maybe we should start lobbying the Sun to run a story.

Barefoot..will you hire a picker upper for the back yard??? ;) ;)

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

It's all got to do with marketing.
At any point in time there are prospective buyers for all the land around here and if a neighboring piece is going to be residential or commercial it could drive the price up or down for the prospective buyer. It's not that it's a big secret, it's just better not to announce any finalization CUZ nobody is really sure what anybody is thinking.

Re: Fence being removed by Lake Sumter Landing where buffalo were!
 

I have Fumar in mind. I've heard that he has a lot of time on his hands and loves little dogs so much he doesn't mind picking up after them. :joke:

But I've seen a big gator in the lake behind your house. And I know that Fumar enjoys feeding little dogs to the gators. So perhaps that's not the ideal solution.

:cop: Sorry, off topic, now .. back to the Villas at LSL ..

Look at www.districtgov.org and then district 8 and the agenda for 8/15. It was in the Sun last week under "district reports".
