New Visitor To Governor's Island

fatlazyless · 06-17-2004, 02:00 PM

With Missy Britney as an across-the-water neighbor, I expect to be getting one of those $79.94-300X-telescope & tripod rigs which Wal-Mart has for gazing at the stars. Will be setting it, way over here, on the poor side of the lake, ahem.

You'll probably give yourself a heart attack or stoke but die happy

When you get that, if you wouldn't mind letting me know. I would be happy to come over and help offset the cost for some viewing time. Thanks!!

Well, If Brittney is planning to buy or has bought there are 6 properties on the market on Govenors Island and one sold for 1.7 Million on 6/9/04 (Edgewater Drive - Govenors Island).

No properties are pending at this time.

We may know soon since she has cancelled her tour and will have alot of free time after any required surgery.

If I am out on the lake it would be nice to see her.

There have been other is the lakes region over the years too.

Real Estate is my business!

Based on media reports and real estate data there is a property that could be the one Britney is purchasing. One home on the north side of Goveror's Island is pending at an asking price of 1.8 Mil and it has been under contract for most of this year.

This morning the news reports were that Britney is engaged to be married. I missed the name of the lucky fellow (Kevin Fedder_____ - a dance partner maybe) but they have had a long and serious 2 month relationship.

Marrage after such a long courtship, makes me expect that in a year or so their Gov Island love nest will be up for sale. After the divorce of course. Hope she has time to enjoy the area.

Do you think that the area in front of her new home will become one of the favorite rafting zones? FatLazy, keep us informed of what you see over there

....and will she be able to rope off the area in front of her house like Governor Mitt one wonders?????

Wasn't that the name of a movie? I'm glad we're not coming up to the lake until September. I sure wouldnt want to get run over by one of the motorcyclists who had just " tanked up". { Free shots of bourbon from Jack Daniels-- are you kidding me?} I'm surprised you only killed three riders!

Now, maybe, if we could get Brittany Spears on a motorcycle ( with clothes on, no less), she would be disenchanted with her " honeymoon haven" and leave. Man- talk about lake polution. I'll bet the old indian cheifs are crying at we've done to their paradise!

Hi Gilly 20,
Don't rush to the Jack Daniels tent in hopes of getting anything for free. The so-called "free" shots you have alluded to start at $5.25 and go up from there.

BTW, giving alcohol away for free in NH is illegal.

Some news sources said that no one from the Spears family or organization made application to the association to buy on Governor's Island. And no one representing them received approval to buy. What's that all about?

Since when does a prospective property buyer need to be "approved" before they can buy a home? This isn't approval for a mortgage but for some other screening process. I understand that some developments for seniors, and some condo and cooperative complexes have requirements for new owners but a private home on Gov Island?

Can someone explain what this Governor's Island Association is all about? What qualifies you to be approved or not approved?

I too have heard rumors that Governor's Island was a restricted community.
I also notice that no one cares to comment about the situation. I wonder what criteria the Association uses to approve or disapprove a purchase? Also recall someone mentioned that one could not rent their Governor's Island property without some approval.

Considering the varied topics and messages on the forum I find it peculiar that there has not been discussion about this subject. Makes me think this is a topic people do want to talk about.

Skipper,it's probably more likely that there are no Governors Island residents participating on this forum. SS

I guess I should chime in. I am a resident of the infamous Governor's Island. The only criteria for joining the association is to be able to buy the house. They had no right to prevent us fom buying anything. The association is just like any neighborhood association these days, except they don't control the color of houses like some. The association does maintain some common land, and it runs the kids club and park.

It really is no big deal. Basically, like with any real estate, the only color that counts is green!
