Anyone who has attempted even a small project quickly discovers that the devil is in the details. With a project of this size, the issues that the developer has overcome are almost overwhelming. As an example. think about the ecological impact of recovering and managing surface water, and how well the system works. Few people are born with this engineering expertise but the family uncovered the resources to tap into which makes TV run so smoothly. This place was no accident, and pride rather than greed was their motivation in my opinion.

I agree with OBDarrell....one smart cookie with amazing vision! I keep asking myself why aren't there other places like this in the USA? I hear rumors they are going to do another one in Texas or N.Carolina, and if true, more power to them. If you build it, they will come. I am living proof, I hated Florida and had no desire to ever live here, but here I am!

Seems like a lot of users don't know this and try to cut and past into another post which isn't as useful in my opinion. Also makes quoting you easier than also pulling in the original + yours.

Used the "quote" icon.

Thanks for this tip. I didn't know that.

A brilliant businessman and visionary, but a very private, almost reclusive individual. Very little seen of him locally and very little written about him. A google search reveals very little.

I'd like to think and hope that he is heading the way of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates... He's made more money than he can ever spend so whats more important to him now is to preserve the legacy for himself and his family by ensuring that this special, unique place thrives well into the future.

Gary, if you're reading this... Thank you so much for creating this wonderful place. May you live a very long and happy life and see the next generations of your family continue the hardworking example you and your father set.

Suggest that you find it the way I did by putting a search on it in your IP search engine. I don't usually have any luckl with PDA documents and this is what this one is. I have the document downloaded on my 'puter, but it won't allow me to upload it to photobucket or this website.

If anyone can help, greatfully appreciated as it is a great article of TV starting from the very beginning when H Schwartz first started OBG with another partner and then bought the partner out and that's when Gary Morse came into the picture and created this paradise. Yes, Gary Morse is the genious behind all of this and Mark Morse, his son seems to be following in his father's footsteps. The Morse family are hard-working members of this huge successful entity.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, logdog. Don't know how you did it, but it sure is an interesting Chapter 3. I guess that I was attempting to make the url "Chapter 3...." when I should have made the url as you did, by the title of the book. DUH ...b

I know he has a family home here. Is it his principal residence? Anyone know how much of the year he lives here?

dfn8tly 10-24-2010 03:50 PM
I've been told that altough he does have a large home here he spends most of his time on his yacht that he purchased from CBS. Just a rumor, no verification.

Good questions P!

Can anyone do Google earth well enough to show us that area in the middle of TV between Morse and Buena Vista, behind the Polo field that is their compound?
