The property also features nearly 33,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, four food and beverage outlets, and an Aveda spa, among other recreational amenities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a pretty expansive piece of property and what the buyer was attracted to was all the moving parts, which creates in the mind of some investors, opportunity,\u201d Paul Weimer, CBRE Hotels\u2019 vice president, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cThere was a lot of land here, with well over 200 acres of land, a lot of waterfront and a lot of rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The seller had acquired the property in 2010 and was met with great interest when it put the property on the market this past summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome investors were attracted to the golf courses, which quite frankly weren\u2019t making any money, but what they saw was that they didn\u2019t need to maintain two golf courses and could do with one and cut expenses and do something else with the land,\u201d Weimer said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a housing development or recreation vehicle park, which they felt really fits in with the area. This is a big fishing destination and a lot of the business is being driven by the manatee tours in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Plantation on Crystal River opened in 1962 and sits along the banks of the Three Sisters Springs in Kings Bay, the only place in North America where visitors can legally swim amongst the continent\u2019s largest population of endangered West Indian Manatees.<br \/>\nThe challenge with the property, Weimer said, is that it\u2019s not located in a major metro area like Miami or Orlando, and sits a good 90 minutes away from Tampa. Still, there was a lot of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Scout Plantation Owner LLC had done renovations on the property in the years it owned it, and according to Weimer, the new buyers have plans to renovate some of the rooms and the golf clubhouse.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantationoncrystalriver.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Plantation on Crystal River<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The seller had acquired Plantation on Crystal River in 2010 and was met with great interest when it put the property on the market this past summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004517974,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21743,21808,21751,21742,1612],"tags":[32789,33862,33861],"class_list":["post-1004166129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-deals","category-featured","category-hotel","category-latest","category-tampa","tag-cbre","tag-paul-weimer","tag-plantation-on-crystal-river"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
