There is a large house under construction on the historic side . It is far enough along that a realtors lock has been put on the front door in an effort to keep people OUT of the house. Unfortunately this has not stopped the villagers from getting into the house. This is private property and someone's home. I am asking my fellow villagers to please control your couiosity, stay off of this property and stop going into the house. The owner is so frustrated and the builder so worried that they are going to start calling the police. LEFT][/LEFT]

It's their property...let them call the police as that is the best action...as for posting here about it...not sure anyone who would trespass reads this column...or are you suggesting it's someone you know who does read here?

So glad that that mausoleum is not in or even close to my neighborhood! How can the owner not be surprised over the consternation that her house has created? I have been told that she is a lovely lady and if folks really want to see the place they should try doing their drive-bys in the evening when she is there to check on the day's progress.

Did a drive-by myself a week or so ago and saw the realtor lock on the front door - but the door from the bus garage to the kitchen was wide open. I guess someone messed up that day!

A bus garage? Is this home actually in TV? Homes in Lake Ashton near Lake Wales were built with garages for motor homes. Is that what this is?

Looks like a garage for a RV.

Don't know where it is. Would love to see a picture.

I don't think this problem is isolated to The Villages and I'm fairly certain it isn't just Villagers trespassing. When we were looking for property a little over a year ago, our sales person told us to check out new construction. We were encouraged to go into different phases of construction to see the quality of workmanship. In some cases, we were told to go through the garage door because it was open. There were lock boxes on the doors when we went through the garages. In none of the cases was flooring down, but it did enable us to see what actually goes between the stucco and drywall.

If this is an individuals house, being built for a specific individual, they have the option, at additional expense to put temporary fencing around the property.

This reminds me of a New York State Senator who "trespassed" in a new construction house, fell and injured himself and 6 months later had the audacity to sue the owner of the house for his injuries. Needless to say he wasn't re-elected even though he had been in office almost 30 years.

There are homes in The Villages with RV garages. Check out Harmswood.

I have seen that home and think it is great to see someone spend the money to make a very nice home in the historic side. So what if he has an rv garage!
I for one am happy to see that the villages and a few outside contractors are buying up some of the old mobile homes and building stick built homes with garages. There are those of us (myself included) that prefer the mature trees and the friendly people there.
Our home is in country club hills and is not as busy as when we lived in the Rio Grande Villas.
There are nice manufactured homes, stick built and block/stucco. That large home being built will be very nice when finished ........just my opinion.

There is a photo of the house and RV garage on the front page of the on-line news.

Judging from on-line newspaper photos the house looks great to me! Like a prior poster, I really enjoy the mature landscaping on the historic side.

The new RV garage home, one of several in the Villages is being built at 1327 E. Schwartz Blvd and was approved by ARC.

I love the concept. I would have the RV garage filled with beautiful stainless racks on wheels and the most beautifully organized holiday decorations ever. Meanwhile back on Planet Earth...
