Sagamore Farm, historic home to Native Dancer, known to the public as the Galloping Grey Ghost, and considered one of the greatest race horses of all time, embodies all the farm was and will be. A thoroughbred horse-breeding farm originally owned by Alfred G. Vanderbilt, II, it has held international recognition as a premier breeding and training ground in the thoroughbred industry. The current owner plans to restore the farm to its former world-class status and was very clear about his vision for the property, saying simply, “We are looking for winners, period. That’s our only goal.”

Affi liates Blackburn Architects and McKee Carson provided project direction and site design services for the restoration and renovation of the facilities to meet the needs of a modern equine facility with a careful eye and a measured respect for the history of the farm. Blackburn Architects is providing architectural services for the renovation of two existing barns including a 16-stall foaling barn and a 20-stall broodmare barn. The project incorporates several sustainable elements including re-use of original building materials, natural lighting and ventilation to reduce the energy demand of the buildings, and use of recycled materials. In 2011, Blackburn provided architectural design services for a new 24-stall training barn. McKee Carson provided preliminary analysis work along with site design services including the redesign of the gates and entrances and several spaces within the interior of the farm.

Located twenty minutes south of Charlottesville, Virginia, Bundoran Farm and its 2,300 acres of pasture, orchards, and woodlands present a place that is both breathtaking in its natural beauty and classically Piedmont. Unique in both concept and execution, Bundoran Farm represents a rural community that combines farmland and forest preservation with limited residential development.

The Bundoran program places the property under an intricate regime of easements and deed restrictions, ensuring the preservation of the farm’s character and function. Fee simple property owners allow restricted easements and protective overlays on their property. In exchange the farm protects and maintains large contiguous areas for pasture, recreation and forestry, guaranteeing the future viability of all these functions. Thus, property owners protect their investment and gain access to the larger maintained property.

From conceptual master planning to detailed construction documentation and engineering of systems such as alternative storm water management and conscientious road design, Field Sports Concepts’ affi liate company McKee Carson has worked with Qroe Farm Preservation Development to create a community that will enjoy, protect and enhance the working farm and all its natural resources.

Fox Hollow Farm encompasses nearly 400 beautiful acres north of Detroit, MI in the equestrian-oriented township of Metamora. With undulating topography, rich hydrology (including a river, trout streams, ponds, and wetlands), old farm fi elds, and thick stands of hardwood and evergreen forests, the property provides its owners with countless outdoor recreation opportunities. To take full advantage of the site’s natural resources, the client has assembled a top notch design team consisting of three FSC affi liates: Blackburn Architects, McKee Carson, and John Higgins.

McKee Carson is responsible for the site master planning, developing the landscaping plan, and the network of hiking and ATV trails. Blackburn Architects designed the equestrian facilities and the 25,000 s.f. clubhouse. John Higgins designed the course site, layout, pathway, fi eld buildings as well as target sequencing. The sporting clays course is one of the very few in the world that is truly an “all weather” course. Each shooting fi eld has a covered area to shoot from and a “gallery” area behind the shooting stand. The game fi eld station or “Covey Rise” fi eld even boasts a large stone fi replace and has a total of eight clay target machines. The other fi eld’s present targets that best simulate game birds in various parts of the world and present many angles and speeds from multiple clay target machines.

Field Sport Concepts, affi liate McKee Carson worked closely with the client, Summerour Architects, wildlife biologists, surveyors, and a host of contractors to master plan nearly 1,800 acres. The property is bordered to the north by Piscola Creek. The varied topography is highlighted by mature oak specimens and four large cypress ponds comprising approximately 50 acres of the property.

The overarching vision shared by the client and design team was to create a place in which one can relax and enjoy the serenity and beauty of this property. Thus all elements, from the architectural vernacular to the wildlife habitat improvements, seek to lay lightly upon the landscape while evoking a sense of permanence.

In implementing the team’s master plan, our offi ces again worked with Summerour to design both the lodge and shooting facilities. Responsibilities on the lodge and guest cottages included entry court, pool, terrace, and garden design. With Summerour, Field Sport Concepts carefully designed the equestrian facility - complete with a riding ring, paddocks, a 12-stall horse barn – the maintenance barn and the kennels to ensure proper circulation. These efforts, coupled with the re-establishment of native grasses on the plantation and development of perimeter food plots, combine to create a fi rst-class hunting experience.

Originally on a 200-acre parcel of lush green rolling hills in Kentucky horse country between Layette and Bourbon Counties, Monticule Farm was named for the French word for a small mountain. Blackburn Architects worked with famed landscape architect Morgan Wheelock to develop the property, now over 600-acres, into one of the industry’s best commercial breeding facilities. Blackburn designed a 20-stall broodmare barn and a 16-stall yearling barn in the style of other large Kentucky horse farms from the 1940s. In 2008, Blackburn developed a master plan and concept design for a stallion barn complex, which consisted of four 4-stall barns and a breeding shed.

The Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation sits on 1224 acres of hardwoods, prairies, lakes, gravel pits and streams, on the Fox River in Dundee, IL. Field Sport Concepts affi liate John Higgins was asked to do a complete re-design of the sporting clays, trap and skeet facility to modernize and improve the layout. The design requirements had to take into account very limited space at the old gun club site. With careful planning a ten station sporting clays course combined with a 5-Stand, Game Field as well as a trap and skeet fi eld were included in the fi nished redesign. Since the changes to the course have been made usage has at least tripled by the members and more plans are in the works to expand the facility.

John Higgins also developed a complete recreation master plan for the entire facility, including major redesign and improvements to the lodge and club house. The implementation of these recommendations resulted in a signifi cant increase in usage and membership.

The vision for the 1,800-acre Little Mountain Ranch was to create a multi-functional retreat for the owner; a place of respite and recreation designed to meet the needs of a growing family today and into the future. McKee Carson cultivated this vision in a master plan that employs conservation easements, enhances ecologically sensitive areas, and introduces new rural recreational pursuits which can be enjoyed by family, friends and visitors alike.

The master planning process began with a comprehensive analysis of the site’s geographic, cultural, and historical context. Resource maps and narratives of Highland County were chronicled and site analyses conducted on local ecology, plant communities, terrain and solar aspect. Evaluation of the site’s opportunities and constraints associated with the programmatic goals led to further exploration and revelation of the site’s unique character. A thorough understanding of the natural and cultural infl uences, site context, existing conditions and programmatic goals all contributed to the unique landscape language that was developed for this master plan.

In order to revive the ranch’s trout habitat, Field Sport Concepts affi liate Trout Headwaters, Inc. participated in the evaluation of riparian and river restoration efforts for a one mile stretch of river within the property boundary.

Located on a gently sloping site with an expansive view of the lake, Lake Erie College’s Equestrian Center is home to their well-known Equine Studies Program. Having outgrown their current facilities, LEC planned to renovate their existing indoor arena and build a new arena, barns, classrooms, show areas, service buildings and paddocks, effectively doubling their capacity. To allow for the most paddock space possible, the new arena, barns, show and educational spaces were attached to the existing arena and connected to each other. This would also protect people and horses from brisk breezes off Lake Erie, especially during the cold winter months. To scale down the massing of the large proposed buildings, the barns and support spaces were broken down into smaller units that gave the impression of buildings on a more human scale, while still being functionally connected.

Field Sport Concepts, Ltd. and its parent company, McKee Carson, teamed with Equestrian Services to plan and design The Oaks, a 1,222-acre site in the Lake City area of Columbia County, Florida. Our goal was to maintain the agrarian character and quality of place of the surrounding landscape and set a precedent for future development in the region. Preserving the vernacular landscape we have expanded upon critical features and systems such as wetlands, ponds, vegetation and hydrological elements. Residential components are clustered, minimizing infrastructure and protecting open space. Additional amenities include a twenty-four stall barn, competition-quality riding arenas, a cross country course, a covered round pen, more than fi fteen miles of looped riding trails and multiple park like open spaces.

Affi liated with Olympic champions Karen and David O’Connor, Equestrian Services has announced that the project will also become the world’s fi rst branded equestrian facility. Modeled after successful branded golf facilities, the O’Connor Signature brand will designate a premier facility that meets the O’Connors’ standard in terms of planning, design, programming, beauty, quality of construction, and certifi ed professional training, instruction, and management.

Located near Charlottesville, Virginia on scenic Garth Road, the Foxfi eld Race Course runs both spring and fall steeplechase races and hosts several other large-scale outdoor community events.

Raymond Woolfe of Field Sport Concepts was commissioned to design and supervise construction of a fi rst-rate facility like none other in central Virginia. Major site elements include an NSA-sanctioned steeplechase racecourse, turf course, fence lines and all offi cial structures, including stables, saddling paddocks, maintenance buildings and spectator/sponsor areas able to accommodate crowds of over 20,000. Additionally, Field Sport Concepts, in partnership with McKee Carson, designed parking areas, traffi c approaches, entrance ways and deceleration lanes capable of handling such crowds. Following completion of the facility, Mr.. Woolfe’s role extended to direct management of the facility for 5 years, involving the planning, organization and management of events and day-to-day operations. Later, Field Sport Concepts was retained post-construction as a consultant for the grounds and facility to investigate parking and circulation options.

Located on a beautiful existing farm in Victoria, this project was a new commercial equestrian facility. Because of its proximity to the Pacifi c Ocean, the climate is temperate and rainy. The project was designed to take advantage of prevailing local winds as well as to focus the attention on the best views overlooking a small pond and the hills beyond. Included in this project are two 20-stall barns for boarding and schooling horses, a round pen, two indoor arenas for hunter/jumpers and dressage, a health club, and a restaurant.

The terrain and landscape typology of the Alleghany Highlands of northwestern Virginia couple with remarkable habitat to create an extraordinary outdoor recreational opportunity. The area is home to the million acre George Washington National Forest, the Homestead Resort, Lake Moomaw, and the renowned trout waters of the Jackson River. Near the Jackson River tailwaters of Gathright Dam are 600+ acres of privately held Crown Grant property.

McKee Carson and Field Sport Concepts was charged with master planning the property and establishing the vision for a low-density fi shing and conservation estate community. Spending days on site and on the river, our team sited approximately twenty optimal home sites and countless community gathering areas. Each home site will benefi t from a complete cross section of local ecology – from the height of a climax forest, through understory, hedgerow, meadow, and stream. Community amenities are considered in hierarchy – a multi-seasonal cabin/clubhouse, shelters, natural riverside plots, and a series of trails that meander along the Jackson, through newly established warm season meadows and orchards, and along the mountain ridge.

Mill Mountain Farm is located in the mountain region of Southern Albemarle County, Virginia. The owners wanted FSC affi liate McKee Carson to create a unique home and garden on the 600 acre property that accommodates a growing family while acknowledging the landscape typology. On a physiographic scale the landform at Mill Mountain can be interpreted as one gesture – that of a bowl or basin with water pouring from its sides.

The ecological communities at Mill Mountain (forest, riparian edge, and meadow) can be seen as separate but the function of each is inherently connected to the others and to the larger ecosystem in which they are situated. The richness of Mill Mountain’s ecology provides a distinct, multi-layered vernacular that infl uences design decisions. Designing in an ecologically-conscientious manner that recognizes the landscape and the architecture as a cohesive whole is our charge and is essential to the success of Mill Mountain as a place specifi c.

Shrine Mont Conference Center is a 1,080-acre conference and retreat facility owned and operated by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. Signifi cant to the property is its northern boundary shared with the George Washington National Forest. Most fundamental to the ministry at Shrine Mont is the notion that the Conference Center remain “a place apart for rest, devotion and fellowship.”

Field Sport Concepts affi liate McKee Carson prepared a comprehensive resource management plan and economic development program for the Conference Center. In addressing the present and future needs of the Conference Center proper and protective management strategies for the adjacent forested areas, the study included analyses of user needs, site constraints, cultural and historical resources, land use, cost benefi ts, and cash fl ow models. Graphic studies included alternative development concepts, master land use plan, phasing plans, and environmental compatibility reports.

Panorama Farms is a true example of farmland preservation. Comprising 1,038 acres, it is located along the South Fork of the Rivanna River and adjacent to the Rivanna Reservoir, the primary source of public potable water for Charlottesville/Albemarle County. Its owners, recognizing the futility of small farm cattle production at the time, elected to develop a small portion of the property into low-density residential use with the stipulation that such development would protect the reservoir through the use of low-impact development strategies and conservation easements. As a result, a cluster residential plan far removed from the reservoir was implemented leaving more than 800 acres permanently dedicated to agriculture and outdoor recreational activities. This was the fi rst residential development of this type in the County of Albemarle and was an early precursor for the Rural Preservation Development Ordinance.

Today, the undeveloped portion of the farm serves as a cultural amenity for the region. The farm and its picturesque rolling terrain hosts numerous cross-country invitationals and dual meets, bringing in teams from all over the state. Income is also derived from fee-based mountain bike trails, seasonal dove hunting and, most signifi cantly, a thriving composting business that serves the Central Virginia region.

Inspired by the owner’s dedication to and strong belief in conscientious planning and rural land protection, our team employed innovative solutions to create this economically viable and environmentally responsible land-use model in lieu of a traditional by-right residential subdivision at Panorama Farms.

OUR MISSION

To assist those who own or control rural landholdings in preserving, enhancing or planning alternative uses for the properties in their charge. We actively advocate the

introduction of outdoor activities and recreational pursuits as a means of sustaining rural traditions while promoting a land stewardship ethic and creating economic value.

OUR APPROACH

Involves a clear and comprehensive understanding of our client’s motivations and project goals and objectives. Once these have been defi ned and prioritized, the team works cooperatively through a structured process to compile not only effective land-

use concepts, but fi nancial models, construction guidelines and management programs tailored specifi cally to the land and client. In many cases, FSC affi liates provide both

construction assistance and on-going program management services.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The preservation of rural lands is wholly reliant upon economic viability. Aligning the client’s interests with the natural resources and amenities of the property, we reveal

opportunities that are at once economically responsible and environmentally sensitive.
