Nature Walk at Seagrove

[Smiling JOe]

Thanks TreeFrog. Yes, ALL of NatureWalk is for sale as one piece, though I'd bet that they would split off the Seagrove Villas if you wanted to buy it.

aabsolute, I don't think any lots ever closed in NatureWalk. Franny's post was from a while ago.

If no one buys NatureWalk, it may soon be taken over by nature. It would make a great location for a large public park of some kind.

Isn't it surrounded by a public park the dwarfs it? I'd imagine JOE would buy it for 60,000 per lot.

JOE has no need for it. You are close about the public park surrounding it, though it is a State Forest. I'm talking about a public park with swimming pool, tennis courts, soccer fields, etc.

Grayt idea and the Club house and roads are already there!

I was thinking JOE could use it to legitimize and enhance the bifurcated last phase of Watercolor. Maybe as a business decision there is a destination type amenity they could place there which would draw the rest of the community to that black-sheep phase.

I'm currently of the mind that our government should liquidate redundant assets and directly pay down governement debt with no handling of the proceeds by any part of the government. No more acquisition of land before all current government owned real estate is fully utilized.

Are you speaking of local government? What "current ...owned real estate.." are you referring to? (NOt state forest I hope)

BTW, your idea above about adding to WaterColor is an interesting one Perhaps then, WC would not further develop the land just south of 98....

I think State governments should focus on a short list of priorities before broadening their intentions. Public Safety (Police, Fire, Emergency Services)
Education alternatives, Transportation, Courts. Not much else.

I didn't know JOE was expanding Watercolor North of 98.?.?. Thanks for the info.

Yes it would.

 

[TreeFrog]

Yes it would.

Agreed. Here are a few reasons...

1-395 is near the East/West center of 30A, and SoWal in general, and easily accessible via 30A or 98 from all of Sowal.
2-The land is roughly bordered on the north, east, and west by the State Forest and wouldn't be ringed by houses with owners unhappy to be neighbors to a park.
3-The time will eventually come when WalCo is simply unable to supply public amenities like parks, either because the land is literally all cut up into developments, or because the county won't be able to afford to acquire it. Warren Buffet is buying now because of extraordinary opportunity. Maybe WalCo should follow his lead.
4-Not that it matters to everyone, but blunting the development of NatureWalk will effectively preclude the extraordinary demands that the planned beach club would have had on traffic, parking, and beach crowding at the Seagrove Villas site.

Naysayers will decry the loss of potential property tax base. I accept that, but even in my short time in SoWal I've seen the signs of a long-term evolution from a purely vacation-based community to one supporting a growing permanent population - which needs doctors, car washes, schools, churches, post offices, grocery stores, and yes, parks.
