My wife and I are from Saratoga Springs NY. We will be in Florida for 8 days previewing 8 communities beginning on June 23rd at Solivita. Your video has given us a great deal of information and has put Solivita at the top of our list. Thank you for taking the time to produce the video.
This tour of where you live was so nice and well done. It was like I was there with you seeing it. You are so fortunate to live there and be able to give back to the water and wildlife. Will be waiting to see what else you show us. 👍 Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!
I think the main reason I did that video and I'll do more, not that many people really watched it though, is to show people that there is light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes working hard and long hours will pay off in the end. Living in a animal reserve with over 100 ponds and lakes is absolutely wonderful but then again it's not for everybody. The town looks like a Tuscany village from Italy and because my wife is from Italy it reminds her of Home where she was born.
This place is beautiful. I grew up living in the woods in rural Missouri with nothing but dirt roads and cow pastures for miles way outside of a small town Stockton that has a very large lake. I really love nature and we'd go swimming and fishing down at the creek with my grandpa below our property as kids and had lots of animals I took care of too. The only thing was it was very isolated and it was over an hour drive just to the nearest Walmart to go grocery shopping once a month lol. But this place looks like the perfect balance of nature and a laid back community with a lot of great amenities. The landscaping is very nice as well. 😊
So if you're from Missouri then you know what hot and humid really is. Florida is not as bad as Missouri is for being hot and humid. I actually grew up in the show me state.
@@anoxicfiltrationplenums Oh yes MO is very humid lol. Very green and beautiful countryside if you don't mind the bugs. Since we were on a well I never used to use dechlorinators for my fish tanks since we had such clean water that never needed to be treated. The riverbeds are solid limestone so we very hard water full of calcium. I had wild caught fish and never once had one of them get sick and die on me. Only when I started buying tropical fish from the store did I start to encounter problems with sicknesses and having problems with my aquariums when I got back into the hobby. They must not be as hardy as the wild bass and sunfishes or minnows we got from the creek.
Wait until October comes and the weather turns beautiful down here then it's not so bad. You have to look at our summers as our winters and your winters as our summers.
Thank you so much for the video. My husband and I are wanting to move to a Solivita within the next year. Do you have a recommendation on a good RE agent? A community person to contact about homes for sale? A good place to find listings? We would prefer a pool but not necessary. Thank you again!!!
You should! When you get to SoliVita, come look me up and I can even show you around. It kind of looks like the villages except it's not as big. However, here's something you have to think about that the villages do not tell you is that you do not own the land underneath your house. When you go to sell your house at the final sale, you will have to pay 7% of your profits to the villages for rental of the property that your house is sitting on. Here in SoliVita, you own your house and property. There's 5500 homes in SoliVita and HOA dues are about $96 a month. That includes all landscaping of your yard, trimming of bushes and watering your lawn.
@@anoxicfiltrationplenums Thank you so much! I will be chatting with Sarah hopefully tonight. We are not interested in The Villages, too dang big for us. Plus we really want a guard gated community. We are looking at both new and pre owned homes, just depends on what we find when we are finally ready. That will happen within the next 8 -10 months. If you listen to Jerry and Linda from the Villages you do own the land. That is interesting to hear. But like I said, we are not interested anyway. The beauty of the land we saw in your video is what we want. 🙂 We will be in touch!
This is a red state we live in in Florida if you cannot or will not except the fact that it is a red state run by a governor that uses common sense then it definitely is not a place you want to retire. Don't you think people need to know that information?
I do understand what you mean because people always think of Florida is being extremely hot and humid. However, all these people have to do is go to let's say the state of Missouri and realize how hot and humid it is there in Florida is a dream state. The other day the weather was absolutely beautiful with a nice breeze I took my bike out and rode 14 miles around SolaVita and actually makes you have a different outlook on life.

This was a fantastic look at what appears to be a very nice community. Minus mosquito season of course lol. Thanks
It sure is!
Thank you. This is an excellent review. I really appreciate all the information you have provided.
Good "move" doc!! Everything is really beautiful! Looks like this place suits your temperament.
I didn't know you can live in a nature reserve. A good idea, to live within nature rather than to push it aside.
Enjoyed the tour.
Looking foreward to the pond videos. Maybe you can do some underwater videos with a cam on a long pole?
Great idea
This is beautiful. I live in WV and I thought WV is beautiful but I am blown away

Sir can we put coarse sponge mat on top of filter plates
Yes Sushil.
There's no dought it is beautiful, but the heat and humidity. Mmm , I just can't take it

Not related bit if you had an anoxic filter "pond" next to the main pond. Can you stack bcb baskets to fit more in?
yes you can
@@anoxicfiltrationplenums thanks
Thanks for this overview, brother, your misguided and unwanted political biases aside.
This is a red state we live in in Florida if you cannot or will not except the fact that it is a red state run by a governor that uses common sense then it definitely is not a place you want to retire. Don't you think people need to know that information?
Keep your sick misguided opinions out of this.
Very beautiful but no thanks Doc lol
I do understand what you mean because people always think of Florida is being extremely hot and humid.

It is sad you had to take a lovely video and make it a political thing 😞
