    Cypress Dunes lot no buildout- build WHAT YOU WANT

    Hi. I'm selling my lot at tremendous loss. It has no enforeceable buildout. You can also use builder of choice (yes, I know this is NOT what the rest of development has... this is due to screw-ups, non-disclosures by closing company, and has been comfirmed by now about 4-5 FL real estate...

    Build in Cypress Dunes/ High Quality/ Southern Living- but cheaper

    thank, you. i have read the HOA, as well as every single deed for the entire development. you are correct, design guidelines HAVE to be met, but seriously, the plans that john willis had done are quite nice, at least i think so. plenty to choose from, that would meet approval.

    Build in Cypress Dunes/ High Quality/ Southern Living- but cheaper

    no kidding. your sarcasm is unnecessary. do you think houses of that quality cost 350$ a sq foot to build in Atlanta and elsewhere. NO> Maybe you should hold off your comments unless you are better educated on what I'm talking about. The builder's work is in well read/ published magazines.

    Cypress Dunes lot- no buildout 215,000 for sale,trade, or partner

    All lots had buildout requirements. As I recall, JW had the right, not the obligation, to repurchase your lot at 5% above the original purchase price, if the buildout requirement has not been met. Since you are willing to sell below original purchase price, the new buyer would have zero risk of...

    Sales Stats for January

    one realtor told me he had some clients, and thought perhaps others had done this as well, that put all of their properties on the market, wanting only 1 to sell to lighten the load. then they planned on pulling the rest off the market.

    Cypress Dunes Lot- no buildout, great for builders/investors

    Can anyone recommend a sign maker that make and install one nice wood sign? I am putting a sign on my lot with the "no build-out" details. Hmm, I'd like to go as large as possible, but will have to check association code, so maybe need more than one reference.

    Cypress Dunes Lot- no buildout, great for builders/investors

    pending lot in Cypress Dunes

    I don't think parking at beach access will be a big issue for Cypress Dunes owners. I seem to remember talk (please don't quote this as fact) of a trolley/van kind of transport that will be ongoing from the club to the beach and back.

    Interview w/ St. Joe CEO

    Cil- could you elaborate on some of these examples? I'd be curious. It's been interesting watching what other developers try to get away with: I've seen a couple doozies in the short time I've been here. But you don't read about those because they don't make good copy the way St Joe...

    Hi everyone. I'm up here in Atlanta. I too have been interested in this fractional concept for those of us who really know we're not going to get down as much as we'd hope or originally think. Heard that big condo tower project (Destin?) just sold out fractionally, but I myself feel...
