It is only going to be nicer.

I think that the process of newer homes replacing older ones has been in place, naturally, for many years. If the developer is buying some homes and intends to replace them with nicer ones, he's only speeding up the process.

My only question is, If he is paying $100,000 for homes that he intends to tear down and replace, why would he go after the homes that have been abandoned that he can buy for $39,000? If he's paying $100,000 for just the lot how much is the house that he puts on it going to be worth?

I know several people that can afford to live on the other side of 27/441 but like it over here. But I don;t know how many people are going to be willing to spend $250,000-$300,000 to live over here.

The last I heard was that the Morse family is buying them for their grand-children !!!!

Ohhh, I hate to be wrong. But it happens sometimes. While we are on the subject, I heard a rumor that "The Developer" is buying up these homes to tear them all down and build a new compound for his family. He's going to put up a new wall that surrounds the entire Historic Side and dig a moat and flood the surrounding developments. I heard that he is going to start buying up everything in Wildwood and turn it into a hunting preserve with a lodge and ship in Elk. Or was it Moose? I can't remember. Oh, well. Anybody else hear this? ;~)

If he really loved his grand-children he would buy them Disney World.

On 5/23/2014 VILLAGES OF LAKE-SUMTER INC purchased 440 TARRSON BLVD LADY LAKE FL 32159 for $115,000.

The home that was built in 1985 has been removed and today a bulldozer was working on the property. No building permit has been recorded to build a new home.

[quirky3]

Maybe they will combine lots and build larger homes

I am told that building permits take MUCH longer in Lake County than they do in Sumter. At what point is it needed? Can they move dirt around without one?


Keep us up on things.

And Quirky...it would seem that the developer would build homes in the same size range as those already there. THIS is guessing. My first thought would be they would be cottages and designers.

Tarson? Bulldozer? Perhaps the moat has begun. No beer here, Gracie. I'm too full of myself.

Not rumors, The Villages of Lake-Sumter has bought, and has requested 30 permits from the Town of Lady Lake for demolition.
Some of the parcels are in the County( The Enclaves) and they would get permits from them.
This is good for all home evaluations in LadyLake/The Villages & The Enclaves. Thank you Mr. Morse

So, what is the plan besides the demolition, Mr. Hannan, sir?

EDIT: And what is the status of our lights for the pools?

[Bogie Shooter]

POA July Bulletin
AAC Minutes


A resident asked when the pool lighting
installation at Paradise, Hilltop, Chula
Vista and Southside pools would be completed.
Staff advised that the hold up was
due to the review process going on to determine
whether the current lighting could
be grandfathered. The cost for upgrading
is approximately $25,000 for each pool. A
question was raised as to whether it was
necessary to continue lighting these pools
and Janet Tutt advised that it was necessary because by contract with the transfer
from the Developer the District agreed to
do so. (Exhibit Q of each amenity transfer
Agreement states, ��Make available to
Current Residents and Future Residents
the Facilities, and provide recreational services
and activities of approximately the
same quality, frequency, character and duration
as is currently being provided as of
the Closing Date�� Staff agreed to add
the item to Old Business for updates.

So after the developer finishes buying, demolishing and rebuilding everything in the Historic District, then they start on the oldest of the ones west of 27/441. And then continue to move south.......Build out never quite ends, does it?

[OldManTime]

We can only assume they will build higher priced homes, which is good.

IMHO the developer follows the Japanese management principle of Kaizen, much to the benefit of all. Kaizen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
