Watersound vs. Naturewalk vs. Wild Heron

Very true, but they won't let you just drive through. Most Realtors don't want to jump through all of the hoops to show properties in Wild Heron -- something to remember about resale. However, if you are looking for seclusion, it might be your choice.

As the roads in Wild Heron were funded through a Community Development District bond issuance, they received state funds and are not allowed to restrict access. They can put a guard gate up, but they cannot restrict access. I know that the $9/hour guard there has no idea what the hell a CDD is, but if you wanted to make that an issue you could.

6th Gen, I haven't been in Wild Heron since they first opened, when you had to go in with the sales agent. From what you and Franny say, that has changed, and for the better in my opinion. I know for a fact that many agents never showed property in their because of the pain in the booty it was. The listing agent had to accompany every showing. Maybe I will take a Sunday drive that way, knowing that I can gain access.

Not sure if it has changed. I had a friend recently denied entrance, but he didn't argue with the gateman. I've been meaning to take a look at the 5,000SF modular home in there that Henson put up, maybe I'll test it this weekend.

Thank you so much for all your help to date. With each passing day, my wife and I get more excited about purchasing near 30a. Here is my lastest question:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the following communites:
WaterSound (north)
NatureWalk
Wild Heron

Which do you prefer and why?

Thank you in advance!

Have you thought about Seacrest? You can pick up a lot there for 275k.

Franny, it has been a few months since I toured NatureWalk, however, the day I toured it was the first day that they opened the lots for sale. I still have in my possession the price list for 33 lots in Phase I. Even on NatureWalkatSeagrove.com, you can click on Sales and pull up a price list on lots. Granted, the date on that price list is Nov 2006. I think I was there sometime between Nov-Jan, but my price list has no date. Perhaps your information is more recent, and maybe no one is updating their website. Do you know how recent your info is regarding the builders reserving the lots?

My bad, your information is much more updated. The developer originally planned to only release to builders, but several have backed out and he is now releasing to the public, which is probably a very good idea. Thanks SJ.

You really should SJ, I think the place is beautiful. I wanted to look at the club but didn't want to push my luck.😀

They may deny individuals but we were actually looking at property and gave the guy my real estate business card.
