Wanna buy the best golf course community in Florida?
Yep, it's for sale--the whole community! There are several offers at this time--all are being evaluated at Florida's #1 golf community--BlackDiamondRanch.com. Look at that site and tell me if you think there's a better golf course community in this state--most who have visited doubt it.
I have lived here for nearly sixteen years and I (and/or my wife, who is a "rater"--more on that later) have played most of the best. We have played the game with hundreds of Florida golfers and hundreds from other states. The concensus is that my statement stands. Everyone loves "BDR!" The courses themselves are fantastic--all five nines are rated in the top 50 in Florida; the famous Quarry course--top 100 in the world! I am making the distinction here between courses, per se and golf communities, where ours have estate homes in the $500K to 3 million price range and "village homes" from $250K. But what really makes this place are the people. Folks are so happy to be here, they make everyone who visits and joins happy people too.
I am a retired airline pilot (UAL for 35 years; USAF--Viet Nam before that, in the '60's) and, as you can imagine, I have lived and been "based" in many cities (from Newark and Detroit to San Francisco and Honolulu). I've played a lot of golf in my day (55 years worth) and (oh yeah, I'm biased, but...) there is no place like my home "spread." There is every kind of golf and activity you could ever want here. We have hosted "The Follies, The Christmas Chorale, TV's The Dodge Shootout, Tiger, Jack, Arnie--you name the pro and they'll all tell you the BDR courses are among the finest courses in the world. Designed by Tom Fazio, one of the eminents of the eminent; it's been heard it's even his favorite. He boasts that the last four holes of our "Ranch" course are some of the toughest in golf. I'd say that's true, but probably only from the back (black) tees. Otherwise, all of the courses are "managable" and fun.
So, at the moment, I (we agents here) have about 15-20 homes for resale and you can always buy a great lot and build yourself. But if you can handle buying and managing the whole complex, that's possible, as well. It's for sale by our owner. Want to hear more? Would you like to have lunch on me and visit--maybe even play? Say the word. I'm available at 352-249-4484 or 415-271-6298 (cell). Write me at jimgive@gmail.com
More to come. C'mon back! (This BLOG was re-written late Aug, 2008. more during the last quarter of "ought eight." Remember the title? "Wanna buy the course?" I can help you buy the whole darned place! Call me.
