Quick question for those of you that have been living here for a while? That back road on Winecreek Road, was it always a gated community? I don’t recall a few years ago there being a gate around the community. Is that new or has that always been there?
I remember back in 2010 there were many houses in severe distress back there and the sales prices were very low relative to the lot and home sizes. I believe that is where Romney’s son bought a place. Has that always been gated? I tried driving around there the other day and saw it gated. Is that new? Thanks in advance.[/quote]
The subdivision is named Ivy Gate. Yes, it was gated since the day one. Romney (Matt?) owns there. Another son of Mitt’s lives in the area, possibly the same subdivision and they have few relatives in 4S.
The hotel probably makes less sense with no golf course, but they will try to build something and I am not sure how easy it is to make major changes in the plan.[/quote]
Thanks all for taking the time to answer. Ah ok that’s good to know it’s always been gated. I was always curious how it was back there. Because during the downfall I remember looking at Google Maps and even some for sale listings had these HUGE yards and the owners couldn’t even afford to landscape them! I remember back in 2009 and 2010 there were listings for them with barren lots.
There were some STEALS back then. I remember seeing some HUGE houses in the $1 million range. People that picked them up at the lows must be happy. The area is really great but I was always curious how it was back there.
Here are a few houses I remember seeing for sale but I never got a chance to check them out because I found a property.
