So what’s your point?

[Kelevision]

It’s an amazing house. Not my style per se but I’d love to have that view from my kitchen window. I don’t really understand that Morse compound and how the real estate works there though.

It was listed by a MLS Realtor.

Hmmmmmm . . . so what does that tell you? I guess she wanted more exposure.

I don't care.

Why should anybody?

I concur with many. Very sterile. Never lived in, completed in 2023. Not *really* her house, where she lived or lives.

It is built in that very "I want everyone to think I'm eco-friendly, but I'm really just snobby" decor style with the polished concrete floors, some wood thrown in for "rustic organicness" which I am sure is claimed to be from some sustainable forest somewhere. The fake grass above the garage that serves as your outdoor patio/sun deck is not enticing, but that outdoor kitchen is out of this world.

The description states, "Not part of an HOA" meaning , NOT in The Villages or with Village amenity access despite the address being in The Villages mailing area.

It will probably sell to someone from the "mink and manure" crowd, the wealthy horse folks who want to have someplace for them and their animals while doing their polo thing at the polo grounds.

For 2.9 million dollars, I would give up the 9 acres I would never use and prefer a home that is ocean adjacent.

Gorgeous house. Not really the taste of older people.

Ugly house! Looks like an old factory building converted to housing.

Just to note, the Villages does not have an HOA. No home in the Villages is part of an HOA yet all homes in the Villages have amenity access.

They may very well have intended to mean just what you wrote but strictly speaking, the words they used don't actually indicate that.

Does hypocritical come to mind?

But sure, the people shopping for $3M homes probably are not the same as those shopping for $400K homes.

I used to live in a house in Tierra del Sol South on the golf course with that 2x4 mile mostly unbuilt area beyond the fairway. My understanding is that it has never been part of The Villages and was owned by others. The developers are good at business, and they don’t buy parcels of land they consider overpriced where they won’t get enough profit if they develop them. This is why there are several attractive parcels in the area that have gone up for sale but they don’t acquire.

This is one of those “do you know or do you care” listings. Not interested unless I was in the market for a 3 million dollar house.

The outside is industrial and has no warmth whatsoever.

I love the inside.

My question: Where is the POOL?

[Velvet]

Well, the house looks clean, possibly industrial. Looks like it was not built for seniors, or a family, more likely for business purposes. That would explain the sterility. If a family moved in they would likely do a lot of renovations. The location is wonderful, lots of space between homes.
