Quitman, Georgia
Client: Ambling Companies
Acreage: 1,800
Completed: Ongoing

Field Sport Concepts, Ltd. worked closely with the client, Summerour Architects, wildlife biologists, surveyors, and a host of contractors to master plan nearly 1800 acres, comprised largely of slash pine. The property is bordered to the north by Piscola Creek. The varied topography is highlighted by mature oak specimens and four large cypress ponds measuring close to 50 acres contiguously. 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 and possess a sense of permanence.

In implementing the team's Master Plan, our offices 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 kennels to ensure proper circulation. These efforts, coupled with the re-establishment of native grasses to plantation and development of perimeter food plots, combine to create a first-class hunting experience.
