hi,
does anyone know Frank Utermol' (or better, his maids,..) - who built a biggg bungalow (onttop of the hill, after the Bale clubhouse) , that he named, "Casa Norma" in LF ? His house is so impressive that CNA even featured a 30minute slot on national tv,...?
His direct neighbour built a bungalow - however it seemed abandoned, and neighbour opposite the road built a grand green/blue-glass-facade, which - in diplomatic language - really highlight's one's individual tastes.
Ask the Owner, and mostly One will get answers mainly praising the Owner's decisions,....
Ask the lower-ranked staff, and One will get practical answers on trying to manage pests,..the isolation,....secutity,..etc.,..
Earlier paved, smooth roads have become roads with uneven, secondary pavings,..
I was told (to be re-confirmed, verified, however) that even in LF, there was some house-breakings, but for sake of maintaining "marketing image", many incidents were covered up.
It really is difficult to distinguish what is "real", "true", until one really takes that indivual plunge to experience.
And more importantly, would those who live in LF, be able to obtain the accounts of the LF's estate management funds - and as a public service - post this information here ?
The bigger challenge, long term, really is the keeping the place in good maintenance.
One suspects that LF's managing funds - is dwindling,....
Am I right ? Apologies, if I am wrong, and please correct my mistakes posted above.
All to share information, and to Learn, Thanks
