Bisected by a local road, this northwest Indiana site integrates an existing golf course, floodplain, and cultivated cropland to create a planned conservation development on a combined 400 acres. The two unique halves were combined into a planned open space community with an interconnected roadway loop and trail network. The trail and road networks provide access to the hilly, open space that was once home to the fairway grounds and golf course.
The community plan features a full complement of residential home types anchored by a community club, marketing office, and a farm market, inn, and pub converted from an existing homestead and outbuildings.
Road routes and stormwater management ponds are planned to complement the site’s natural rolling topography, hillsides, drainage ways, watercourses, and soil types. Residential parcel density is graduated from higher to lower intensities to allow for compatible transition and provide open space vistas.
