Does Grayton Preserve have a build out time?

New buyer will have until February 2007 to commence construction.

Pk, you now have some competition. Today, the price for lot 76 in the Preserve at Grayton Beach was just lowered from $425K to $355K. (listing #386814) I think it is now the lowest priced lot in the project.

Are these lots anywhere close to Beach Access/ have any kind of gulf view potential whatsoever?

[QUOTE=GreenWaveDave]Are these lots anywhere close to Beach Access/ have any kind of gulf view potential whatsoever?[/QUOTE]

Here is a view of the project. It is the trianglular-shaped parcel on the north side of the lake. They have deeded beach access, but it is a hike across 30A and around the lake before you get to the beach.

Yeah, that lot is a major hike from the gulf. I can see why the price is what it is.......

The lot we have for sale is only 450 yards to the beach, 100'x142', backs up to golf course, no HOA fees or build out, less than a mile to Alys beach. Priced to sell now: 399K. Other lots on street are half the size, farther away from beach, and significantly higher priced. MLS 379111.

You are right SJ.....and they are both good lots....and the one in between (77) was one I owned as well but sold it last year.....it will be a GOOD street!  I'm encouraged by inquiries this week.   I so appreciate this forum & the opportunity to get the word out to more folks!    :D

It is a stroll to the beach, but not really too far. The Lake is Big Redfish Lake and the photo is taken prior to the commencement of the construction of the huge condos on the east side of the Lake. Distance tot the beach? probably 400 meters. I will be on Big Redfish Lake later today and will try to update you with the progress of the building of the condos (Sanctuary at Redfish -- I think).

Thanks SJ!   I just realized that Lot 78  is still the least expensive actively listed lot in the Preserve.....TAP FEES are PAID on 78.   
That is worth about $6800 (if memory serves me correctly)....some lots show that Tap Fee is due.  I could change my listing price to $353,000 with tap fees paid, however will just keep it simple.

At any rate, I am so THANKFUL to be here this week as the weather yesterday and today is wonderful!!   To see the sun shining so brightly in January at 8:45 in the morning makes me HAPPY!!!   :D 
Enjoy the lake today!

Very good point Pk. Tap fees are due on lot 76, so that does make yours the least expensive, but now you have some close competition.  Good luck. I do think the price is right. Now, you just have to find the right buyer looking for a place to call (second) home.

We're in town also - this is the mildest January in recent memory - incredible weather.  Driving East to explore Apalachicola and Carrabelle today...

I have clients looking hard at the lots in The Preserve and we have a unit in Sanctuary on the south side, so it should be interesting to see how things play out over the next few weeks & months.

Just searching through some posts from a year ago or so and noticed this one.  Several lots are now for sale for under $250k.  At one point these lots were going for over $500k.  Wow!

If I'm looking at the right map, lots are now selling for under 100K, and homes are selling for what lots were selling for in 2006.

2006 sure was a disaster for me personally.  I look back and that whole year was spent trying to figure it out.  Luckily, 2007 was bettter then 2006 and 2008 was better then 2007 and thank the lord 2009 will surpass 2008!  :biggrin:
 
We are slowly digging out of a mess!  I see light!:clap:

Too funny!!  Just happen to be here in Seagrove today....wow....this thread is a blast from the past....I did finally sell that lot and for a bit more than $100k....and have never looked back, till I saw this tonight :yikes:  
And, at one time, I turned down an offer that exceeded $500k....ugh....not a lesson I will likely ever forget!:cuss:
 
 
Don't know if I should thank you or not for resurrecting this thread!!
It's great for me to leave it in the past, but a good reminder from time to time is not a bad thing!
 
Happy Labor Day weekend!
