Sanctuary at Redfish and ALys Beach

Have any or all of the units at Sanctuary at Redfish closed? I haven't seen any closings in the records. Are there problems with contract holders come to the closing table?

Although things are very slow along most of 30A, there are some properties moving each month in Watersound, Watercolor, Rosemary, etc. However, I haven't seen any significant closings at Alys over the last 6 or 8 months. Is anything selling in there at all? While it looks interesting, I don't think it will have the wide appeal of some of the other developments along 30A. Is the lack of buyer interest an indication that the developer might have missed the mark on the design of the community?

I haven't checked the mls, but I don't think the builder has completed the Redfish Village units, so probably none have closed.

Every time I drive by Alys I wonder if a monk might walk out onto the street. Looks more like a monastery than a beach community.

I was asking about the Santuary at Redfish--the units that appear to have been finished since about August.

Redfish Village clearly has a ways to go. I do know that the developer does not have all of the units under contract at Redfish Village yet. I believe there are still 20 to 30 units that have not gone under contract.

I was wondering if the problem at Sanctuary at Redfish is buyers walking away from their deposits and not closing.

Sorry about that, fisher. There is so much new construction around Redfish Lake that I get them all confused. :funn: Currently, there are 17 units in Sanctuary at Redfish listed for sale in the MLS. There are 18 units which have expired. There are none shown as sold, pending, or reserved. However, if the developer was selling these units rather than a licensed Broker, they would not be found in the MLS. I do know this, that pontoon boat with the little electric motor is still tied to the pavilion.

Have they had the Christening Ceremony? Heard 30Gay was going to break a bottle of Ripple on her bow..."I christen thee the USS Exclusive Beach Access."

Why the sad face? Do they know they'd have the pontoon all to themselves?

I guess it didn't have gas in it and they got stuck out in the middle of the lake. It was freezing cold and took 4 hours to get to shore using the gifts (several wine bottles) from their agent. I guess they used the bottles like oars(you probably are getting a visual here). Anyway, they are pretty upset and are thinking about selling their unit and never coming back here. The biggest concern the lady had was she had no ideal it got this damn cold.

Wait...let me get this right.....These folks closed on their condo, the agent gave them some celebration wine, they took the wine aboard the pontoon boat and went out for a spin, they got to the middle of the lake and ran out of gas, the temps dropped to near freezing, and they're leaning over the side of the pontoon boat using the the wine bottles as oars for 4 hours to "row the boat ashore." :funn:

Now they think they'll be able to sell their unit? :floor:

PRICELESS!

That story sounds interesting since the pontoon boat has an electric trolling motor to "power" the boat. :funn:I wonder where they put the gas in. :floor:

That is the real funny part. Once ashore they realized it was an electric motor and the switch was off. The wife is soooo upset she may divorce her idiot of a husband. Anyway, looking back on this crazy story thank god they used an agent or they may have not had the proper tools to get to shore!;-)

Hey SJ--what about the question about Alys? Have there been any closings or contracts down there over the last few months? No indications that there have been any closings on the Walton County website.

Although I have not seen any sales or pendings in the MLS for Alys Beach, I have heard talk of some movement in there on a few properties recently.

alys has had 3 sales in the past two weeks, a homesite on the north side, a homesite on the south side, and a house on the north side. 2 of the 3 sales are scheduled to close next week.

If I'm not mistaken a lot of sales in Alys Beach will not show up in MLS.

No, but you can find them in the Walton County official records database.
