My thought: Interview and select two sales agents to work with. One, an independent agent who is a licensed Realtor, has 24/7 access to the MLS, and will represent you as a buyers agent. Two, a sales representative with The Villages sales team that is experienced, successful, has access to up to the minute VLS listings, and they have the ability to take your needs/desires to "higher ups" and possibly get something out of the ordinary accomplished.
It should be expected that the buyer provide a letter of credit or a strong financial statement proving the ability to purchase a high end property. Work with both and follow through with whatever home works for you.

Price tag on that last lot was $545,000

[QUOTE=fgaba1949;1932580]We have visited the Villages a couple times for 3 days at a time and really like the people and the community.

We are presently living on a nice lake with a very large lot..

Thus we are interested in trying to find the same type of home in The Villages as we enjoy the water view and the extra space .

When I was last there about a month ago there was 1 premiere house for sale i think for about 1.7
that came on the market while I was visiting and before the realtor and I could see it the next day ..a contract was already pending on it .

In just one day..thats amazing

We realize the cost will most likely be in 1.5 area but there just doesn't seem to be any available.
Thus I thought i would ask the residents if there are any plans for more Premiere homes or homesites in the future.

Any thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks in Advance[/QUOTE

There is a near premier home for sale at $1.1 on Boudreau drive right now.

Closest you can get for a brand new house, about 1 year old. . .

I have a friend that had the dream home built on a lake outside The Villages and also bought a villa to rent, giving them the dream house and Village owner access.

Here’s one

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

[Lisanp@aol.com]

We purchased in The Villages last week. After looking extensively at every model and floor plan, viewing every high-end resale, visiting the design center, looking at every available lot, and asking a ton of questions we decided to buy a smaller home then we want. This approach has 3 benefits, in our opinion. We get to "try out" The Villages before we spend a lot of money to design/build a large custom home, we have someplace to live during the design/build process of a custom designer home, and we can wait for a lot we love.
We learned a ton about the design/build possibilities during our stay and home search. No, they are no longer building the Premier floor plans, but basically any designer floor plan can be customized to suit your wants/needs (as long as it complies with the lot setbacks, of course). Thus, with a larger lot you can build almost anything you want (for a price, of course). Yes, homes do sell in a day because agents have lists of buyers and know about new listings before they even hit the market. Thus, you need both a Villages and MLS Realtor to "watch" for what you are looking for.
My advice is to look at the larger square footage designer floor plans (Ivy, Woodside, Laurel Oak, Bridgeport) and see if they can be modified to suite your dreams. They will stretch length and/or width as well as height, add a bath, go out to the sides and/or rear, enlarge the lanai, add a garage (or two) etc. But, they want to start with the foundation plan of one of their existing designer homes. Interior walls can be moved as you desire for very little cost, but plumbing is a bit more expensive so choose a plan that has the basic kitchen/laundry/master bath location and configuration you desire.
I hope that is helpful.

Below is a link to a premier home in The Villages with a water view. We would be happy to show you the home right away or do a private video tour if you are not currently in the area.

751 Krietemeyer Path, The Villages, FL, 32163 - Photos, Videos & More!

We can set you up on a search in the MLS so you will receive any new listings meeting your criteria the moment it hits the market.

Sorry would need 4 bedrooms surprised this only has 3.

Don't guess or speculate. Find a longtime Properties of The Villages Realtor. The vast majority of pre-owned homes sell thru POV as do ALL new homes. They know when new homes are coming on the market. The best Homesite sell quickly.
