The Pastures at Sedgemeadow is a high end, limited, low density residential land development. The original 270 acres housed the last known working dairy farm in the metro west area of Massachusetts. The farm had fallen into financial difficulties and was undergoing foreclosure proceedings. Public and private sector interests had spent years attempting to create a development approach appeasing many opposing agendas. The development solution preserved 234 acres of the 270 acres for use by various conservation groups. The remaining 36 acres earmarked for development was sub divided with an ANR plan which created 6 acre land parcels with building envelopes for situating the homes, and design review covenants to manage the construction and design process. The project also included the oversight of a large scale environmental clean up of a hazardous waste dumping site, and the restoration of land previously used as a gravel pit. Following the land development, we managed the design and construction of four high end custom homes including Victorian, Cape, and Colonial Farmhouse styles.

Northland negotiates with Farmers Home and the City of Wayland to limit the development scale and preserve the rural character of the land.

A high end limited density development is undertaken. 230 acres are held in a land trust. A super fund mitigation and site reclamation cleans up the site for public use.

The landscape and architectural plans are designed to compliment the natural characteristics and styles of the community. Design and review guidelines govern the process.
