We are forever grateful that we became FROGS and still keep pinching ourselves every day when we wake up in an awesome new house, in a fabulous new neighborhood, with an abundance of great neighbors. Thank you, thank you, thank you all for enriching our lives.

Congrats to you guys--had to go back a few pages to find this thread as been busy with this thing called work and then when I want to get out and around at night--the rains come I hope we all share in your same thoughts when our year comes around. Thanks for making us feel welcome when we first meet you at the pool way back in January--we knew we picked a good neighborhood to call "home!" May we continue to grow deeper friendships as the years pass.

Just about to put a deposit down on lot 109 in section 211.
1606 Gullberry Place. Lanai will face Pinellas and the 8th green is directly behind us. Very excited. But confused about the timeframe for building.
Is this right?
-$7500 deposit to hold lot, sign contract to purchase lot
-6 mo to choose house and have design meeting and give the remainder of 20% of total home
-closing date set at design meeting, according to builders schedule. (60-75 days out)
Is this correct? Our sales person is on vacation so I'm not sure of the timeframe.
She said something about coming back after the $7500/contract for lot. To make preliminary choices. It sounded like she wanted the 20% then. But I thought we had 6 mo from contract date.
Can anyone clarify? Thanks!! We live in Utah and airfare ain't cheap this time of year. Hoping we just have to return for design appt.
thanks, neighbors!!!

Hi Dottie! I'm not sure of the current criteria for homes. The $7500 deposit sounds correct but I believe that I've been told that build time from deposit to build may be 3 mos for those on a golf course. I'm assuming you'll get a design date once you put down the deposit. After design (2-3 days in length) you'll be given a build date. Building does start on time. Near the end of the build you'll be given a closing date when you'll bring the remainder of the money. At least that's how I remember it happening. I'm sure that some of the newer members on the site will be able to give you the most current scoop.

Good Luck!

Our lot is not golf front, it is across Pinellas from the course. So that was a decent savings.
Seems I saw a previous poster who built as Aspen, probably next door to us.
We are also building an Aspen.
I am sure they will have us make significant changes so that the houses don't look too similar. Definitely don't want a cookie cutter look.
We were just concerned about making any extra trips out there that won't really achieve anything that we could otherwise have achieved by fax or email.
We are very excited and wish we could become full time residents sooner, but we are looking at a 2 1/2 yr time frame. We were blown away by what you all enjoy there and can't wait to come and pay ourselves. But first the buying process.......

Your house looks fantastic!!!! The view is even better than we thought it would be. We have not really even been to the lot. We were looking at CYV's when were were there 2 weeks ago. The last day we saw the Aspen and both knew it was the home for us.

I started looking at lots online and found our lot. The other one we were considering backed up to a CYV wall so that it had privacy, but when I saw the price on this lot across from the golf course, We were sold!!! Ours is the 4th lot I think. 211 #109 I think the address is 1612 Gullberry. Our docs don't give the street address. Just the parcel number. Our sales rep sent us a couple of photos and that is what we have made our purchase based upon. Your photos helped us to see what a great choice is was!
Best wishes in your new home from your soon to be neighbors!
Dotti and Bill

We just became residents of Gilchrist last week. Attended our first dinner at Evans Prarie last night (6/6/13) and met some great neighbors. I don' t think we had a chance to meet you. I understand we are in "lower" Gilchrist according to Bob! Looking forward to hanging out with a great group.
