Equestrian Facility Summerfield, Elverson, Pennsylvania Rather than burdening the homeowners association with the huge weekly expense of mowing extensive grassy recreation areas, this developer utilized the concept of "non-common" open space. This approach also enabled him to enhance his bottom line, not simply giving the land away to an association, but rather selling it to an experienced equestrian operator. Permanent easements and a municipally-approved management plan ensure that the paddocks are never developed, and always kept in good condition. Photo by Randall Arendt. |
