The Ford Plantation

Description

 

The Ford Plantation is located in simpler times, an eighteen-mile drive from Savannah, Georgia in the town of Richmond Hill. A private community and sporting club whose Low Country roots are so entwined with the land, the town itself is named for the private mansion where Members enjoy the best hot breakfast in Georgia. Only 400 families will share the 1,800-acre estate, a place so nearly perfect that time itself hesitates to disturb it.

The Ford Plantation is located in simpler times, an eighteen-mile drive from Savannah, Georgia in the town of Richmond Hill. A private community and sporting club whose Low Country roots are so entwined with the land, the town itself is named for the private mansion where Members enjoy the best hot breakfast in Georgia. Only 400 families will share the 1,800-acre estate, a place so nearly perfect that time itself hesitates to disturb it. Live companionably among native wildlife and treasure the evidence of our heritage: the footprints of Henry and Clara Ford's grandchildren in a set of concrete steps; oyster roasts at the rustic Oyster House, where Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone found a place to relax; lawn parties and equestrian events beneath live oaks that sheltered ladies in hoop skirts and gentlemen rice planters. To own a home at The Ford Plantation is to become a part of the Low Country's timeless ebb and flow. Traditions emulated elsewhere were born along this riverbank and never left.
