The description on The Villages web site states “This area is the original developer's family compound & the only area w/ PRIVATE GATE ACCESS & ESTATE SIZED HOMESITES. Many Villagers don't even know this area exists!” Took a look and for sure no one could drive through that gate without being invited in.

Will keep looking for an open house to be invited in to take a peek.

The house on The Villages web site

Hickory Head Hammock. Very near Spanish Springs. Gate is larger and Iron or some metal and quite impressive. I think I remember that the streets must be maintained by the residents. The Morse home there was to me, not overly large and not at all impressive. The one below is much grander.

This is a link to a home there ; 16 Hickory Head Hammock, The Villages, FL 32159 - realtor.com(R)
