Sandy Speaks…

I have lived in Celebration, the town that Disney developed, for 10 years and I love it!  You know that whenever Disney puts their mark on something, it is going to be extraordinary.

Now, they are developing an exquisite community that is located inside Disney…nestled between The Magic Kingdom and Epcot!  This luxurious neighborhood is known as “Golden Oak”, named after a ranch in California where Walt Disney used to go to continue dreaming and using his imagination to create what is now known as “the most magical place on Earth”.

“Golden Oak” will be a gated community situated on 980 acres, with almost half of the acreage consisting of conservation land.  It will ultimately be filled with 450 luxury residences that will range in price from $1.5 to $8 Million.  It will be comprised of gorgeous, custom single family homes and lovely, Tuscan-style courtyard homes.

The families who purchase in “Golden Oak” will buy a beautiful lot to have their dream home built upon.  The first release of these desirable homesites is taking place now, with less than 30 being offered at this time. 

Residents of “Golden Oak” will enjoy many amenities including private VIP transportation; theme park benefits; special event tickets; exclusive community activities; concierge services; a private clubhouse featuring fine dining and upscale fitness facilities; and access to the largest “Four Seasons Resort” in North America.  The “Four Seasons Resort”, that is planned for this brilliant community, will boasts an 18-hole golf course, restaurants, and a relaxing spa.

As a real estate broker in Florida, it would be my pleasure to send you more information on this extravagant piece of the most magical place on earth and to accompany you on a private tour of the area.  Please feel free to contact me at Sandy@SandySellsFlorida or at 407.592.HOME (4663).

Have you ever been hit by an emotion so suddenly that your immediate reaction almost knocked you down?  

The realization that my new baby was going to grow up too quickly was the day that he no longer fit into his newborn diapers.  I burst into tears and sobbed while trying to hold him still while searching for the Size 1 diapers!  ”Oh my word”, I said to myself between tears, “So, this is why people kept saying ‘they grow up soooo fast’ while I was pregnant” (something that I find myself doing to every expectant woman I see now).  

This week, almost four years later, it hit me again whenever I placed the call to enroll my son, Jake, into pre-kindergarten.  When I hung up, I started sobbing…almost uncontrollably!  ”How in the world did the last four years go by so quickly?” I wondered, as I felt a big sense of nostalgia and a small sense of panic.  Am I spending enough quality time with him?  Am I focusing on what is most important to create a life of prosperity, safety, and happiness for him?  Am I teaching him everything he needs to know to be a good student and, most importantly, a good person?

Later that day, I overheard him say to one of his toys “My Mommy is grateful.”  I relaxed and thought “Well…I am off to a good start!”
