Historical Lowcountry Architecture
Historical Lowcountry architecture is the cornerstone of homes at The Ford. The lots of Country Estates are larger lots ranging in various sizes, strung together on streets that create a labyrinth tying all settings together. In designing a home for the larger lots, it’s important to consider the context and scale of the natural landscape as much as the visible relationship to surrounding homes.
These homesites allow for multiple structures, whether your interest is in building a carriage house, a large estate home or a guest cottage. The planning of ancillary structures and their relationship to a main house is equally important. Lots within Country Estates consist of a primary estate house — Beaufort House, Charleston Double House, Farmhouse, Federal, French Colonial, Georgian, Greek Revival or Victorian Farm/Village House.
Size and Scale
The homes of Country Estates go beyond typical dimensions. A much more sizable scale is available—ranging up to 6,000 square feet for main house structures, up to 2,000 square feet for ancillary structures and homesites up to 16 acres, which presents more room for decorative features and architectural embellishments.

Location, Location, Location
With a sprawl of locations making up Country Estates, there comes a profound range of what surroundings are offered to each homestead. The homesites of Country Estates are strung together on streets that create a labyrinth tying all settings together. Interior homes and homesites may come with woodland and lake views or golf course views, while exterior homes and homesites enjoy direct water access to the Ogeechee River, Lake Clara or Sterling Creek.
Unique Features
