I heard from a friend that his cleaning lady's friend of a next door neighbor in the historic section was offered $210,000 for her manufactured house. The offer was wrapped in secrecy and she could not find out who was wanting to buy it.
Sounds like the Morris's are serious about buying up the historic section. |

We drove around this afternoon and looked at some of these homes. 1626 West Schwartz-on a golf course. Very well maintained manufactured home. 1775 Lauren Lane. Also, on the golf course. Very well maintained manufactured home. 812 Aloha-Nothing special but not in disrepair. Looked to be well maintained too. 530 Tarson was the same. Nothing special. Big lot. Not in disrepair. 535 Bonita is on Silver Lake Golf Course and is also very well maintained. I'm wondering if Citizen's First Wholesale Mortgage holds the mortgage to these homes or if they are reverse mortgages? Things that make you go, "hummm."

Some time ago Mr. Morse purchased a large parcel of land east of Ocala, which he plans on turning into a "canned hunt." In the event readers don't know what a "canned Hunt" is, according to Wikipedia, it is: "A canned hunt is a trophy hunt in which an animal is kept in a confined area, such as in a fenced-in area, increasing the likelihood of the hunter obtaining a kill ."

I wouldn't think the sale prices would be inflated, perhaps the finished product will be worth more than the home it replaced.The Morses are pretty good at feeling the pulse of the market, although once I remember they were off, when they put the Cottages up for sale on Lake Sumter. They asked too much and dropped the prices later.

Gracie . . . You always need a permit to demolish a structure and that is pretty easy. .
I have a feeling, based on how quickly building permits are issued here, that Mr. Morse can get his permit(s) lickety split -- in no time. He has clout in all three counties! If in the demo, the "pad" is left, meaning the concrete foundation, a similar structure will be built on that spot. If the pad is gone, it is definite that a new floor plan (larger?) will be built on the same lot. It will be interesting to see what happens.

The rumor I have heard is that Lake County was not as eager to have The Villages as Sumter was and hasn't been as "cooperative. One of the posters who is always correct in their researched information; (Villages Kahuna or Indy Dealmaker) said a friend of theirs purchased a home a while back in Fruitland Park to flip and had to wait months for a permit. That was supposedly one of the reasons that The Villages Inc. had previously NOT built again in Lake County.

I surmised (surmised = my opinion) because I am in Sumter County and know how quickly our house was built and all the spec houses, as well, that the same would hold true for Marion and Lake Counties. I know -- I should never "surmise" and guess that isn't true. But seriously . . . don't you think Mr. Morse will have a better chance of getting things more quickly because of "who" he is as opposed to an individual nobody knows, as in "it isn't what you know, but who?"

The current Lady Lake Town Council is made up of 3 Villages residents of the 5 members. I doubt it was like that when the Lady Lake Council voted to remove the gate 15 or 20 years ago because it blocked access to public roads.
The developer had no choice but to remove the illegal wall when Villagers where on Orlando TV demanding it be torn down. The addition of the TV resident only gate allowed the appearance to Fruitland Park and Wildwood that cart access to TV was under TV control. If Villagers want to shop at Lowe's, Beall's, Aldi, Walmart, etc they can use their cars - put the wall back up. .
