Currently,
there are many lots for sale in Bella Collina, which was affected by the slow
down in real estate purchases nationwide. Prices have dropped and are back in
the reach of many buyers who thought they couldn't afford to purchase in 2006
and 2007.

On
Saturday, April 23, 2005 all 403 available homesites were sold for more than $320
million, crushing the Florida record for highest sales in a single-day single-location
event, which already belonged to Bella Collina for the four hour, $174-million
launch in April of 2004.

According
to Liz Agnello, Director of Broker Services, potential owners came from across
Florida and around the world to preview the property at the exclusive private
club. While guests participated in grape stomping and kids enjoyed a marionette
show, homesites sold in rapid succession in under three hours. Approximately 320
golf view homesites that overlook the Nick Faldo Championship Golf course sold
for $490, 900 to $935,900, while more than 80 homesites overlooking private Lake
Siena sold for more than $1.5 million. The most exclusive homesite sold for more
than $2.1 million.

lakefront property and begin to visualize the unparalleled lifestyle that you
