We named our home 'Our Village Gem' because of it’s incredible location, elegant décor and charm in the heart of The Villages, just a short stroll from the pool, recreation center and The Lake Sumter Town Square, with restaurants and entertainment galore. It's been beautifully decorated and sleeps 6 comfortably,with dining for 8, ideally situated in Virginia Trace, considered to be the most ideal area of the Villages ... the closest neighborhood to Sumter Landing Town Square with shopping, restaurants, golf and activities. This home has been lovingly upgraded to a high standard to provide a luxurious stay.

Or pay a small premium and play one of the 12 Country Club Championship Courses such as The Arnold Palmer or Nancy Lopez Course. RESTAURANTS AND COUNTRY CLUB EATING There are great restaurants around the area that we can highly recommend. Try any of the Country Clubs that often have music or entertainment as well. One of our favorites is The Tierra Del Sol Country Club that boasts Opera Singers who circulate around the tables most nights, and a fabulous Irish couple... singer/entertainers on Thursday nights. We also enjoy walking to the Town Square or taking the golf cart where a dozen or so restaurants are located, many with outdoor eating. You’ll be spoiled for choice! And most of all we love going to the Town Squares from 5-9pm for the free entertainment and dancing on the Square. They serve 2 for 1 beer and wine at a certain time each night and supply chairs for you to enjoy the music! The Lake Sumter Square is easily accessible by foot or golf cart! It’s amazing to see so many golf carts which people use instead of their car. It’s a fun way to take advantage of Florida’s wonderful warm weather. If you want to eat in, there is a Winn-Dixie market conveniently located on the corner of Stillwater and Morse, so you will never run out of essentials. QUIET, CHARMING & CONVENIENT - The home is on a quiet Cul-de-Sac, in Virginia Trace adjacent to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square.

We also love our Screened Outdoor Patio/ Florida Room, with it’s glass top dining table and chairs, divided from the Living Room by sliding doors and screen, giving it seclusion. Since it overlooks the private courtyard, it makes a nice retreat for curling up with a book while others go about their activities.
