Good for them. They’ve earned it. Enjoy.

Nice digs. If I had that kind of coin to drop on a place in a hurricane target zone by the ocean it would be in St. John, USVI. Wondering if she can commute to the new home via chopper and land on the flat rooftop?

It would not be my first choice in water front properties (if I had that kind of money), but it is not that far from TV.

Absolutely. The family has worked hard, and put their capital at risk, and it paid off. Too many people look at those that are successful and think that it just fell in their lap. For all that you see that are this successful, there are 100 that tried, didn't make it or barely made it.

I think it might not be the original saying, but it goes something like "Want to build a million dollar real estate portfolio? Start with one that cost a billion dollars". There are investors in San Francisco right now that would love to get half of their investment back.

Now you know why commercial royalties and rentals, and homeowner monthly maintenance fees are going up.
I assume you know where that 21 million came from.
That's not a bad return for someone who did Villages commercials, right?
The Morse offspring (and there are more and more of them all the time), need to be kept in the fashion to which they have become accustomed!

Who would pay that much money to live by the Villages. Seriously?

[wayneman]

I used to live near there in a area called Rotonda west. Went to Boca grand many times. The beaches are fantastic. The Bush family also have a place there and nearby is a tiny private air strip. We moved because taxes and h/o ins became unbearable.
With their kind of coin i doubt that matters to them.

Good for them! They work hard to build a community for us to enjoy. I have met Ms. Parr and she was a delightful person.

Wealthy people self-insure. They can afford to take the risk.

Not my cup of tea for a water-front property either but it does look very well-built & it certainly will be an easy getaway location from TV. I enjoy seeing people achieve their dreams. Life is far too short for us all. Good for them. I hope they enjoy many beautiful sunsets into the water-filled horizon with their loved ones.

Wonder if they would sell me a small piece of their beach?

I wouldn't buy it either but I'm sure Jennifer Parr will feel right at home there.
Judging from the photo, it appears that her new house is about 15-20 feet from her next-door neighbors -- just like most of what is built in TV!
