Field & Frame

[ OVERVIEW ]

Field & Frame is a land-first rental model. We acquire and hold rural and agriculturally zoned property, working closely with local planning and zoning authorities to design low-impact housing that preserves the surrounding landscape. Homes are designed in-house with draftsmen and architects using efficient footprints and durable, economical materials. The focus is on long-term ownership—controlling development risk, minimizing ongoing maintenance, and creating rental housing that remains relevant across market cycles.

These rentals serve young and growing families, newly married couples, and working households who want clean, comfortable, updated homes without the burden of oversized rural properties. Tenants value space, stability, and connection to the land—room for a garden, a few chickens, and open views across fields and pasture—while remaining within reach of jobs and services. For investors, this tenant profile supports longer stays, steady demand, and durable cash flow in a segment of the market that is consistently underserved.

Land-First Housing, Built to Last

Disciplined Land Development

Field & Frame projects begin with careful land acquisition and early coordination with local planning and zoning authorities. We focus on rural and agriculturally zoned parcels, designing homes in-house with draftsmen and architects to ensure layouts, materials, and construction systems are efficient, durable, and suited to the landscape.

Designed for Rural Living

These rentals are designed for families and working households who value open space, functionality, and stability. Units provide room for gardens, outdoor activity, and flexible living, while remaining practical and low-maintenance. Homes are scaled to foster comfort and permanence without requiring tenants to manage oversized rural properties.

Sensitive Site Planning

Field & Frame adds rental housing in a way that respects the surrounding land and environment. Footprints are efficient, site planning preserves views and open space, and clustering is designed to minimize impact while creating livable communities. This approach balances density, usability, and environmental sensitivity.

Built for Enduring Performance

Materials and building systems are selected for longevity and low maintenance, ensuring homes remain functional and attractive across market cycles. Field & Frame assets are designed to be held, providing stable occupancy and consistent performance in a segment of the market that is often underserved.

Rural Rentals with Purpose and Durability

Field & Frame begins with disciplined land acquisition and early coordination with local planning authorities. We focus on rural and agriculturally zoned sites, designing homes in-house with draftsmen and architects to ensure layouts are efficient, materials are durable, and construction is built to support long-term occupancy and low-maintenance operation.

  • Field & Frame is a rural, land-first rental model focused on low-impact housing. Homes are designed to preserve the landscape while providing long-term rental opportunities for families and working households.

  • Developing on land-first sites allows us to create housing that complements the environment, supports tenant needs, and maintains long-term value. The approach reduces density pressures on urban centers while expanding quality rental options in underserved markets.

  • Risk is mitigated through disciplined land acquisition, early engagement with local authorities, in-house design, and repeatable construction systems. Controlling the process from land selection through construction ensures cost efficiency, durability, and predictable long-term performance.

  • Field & Frame homes serve families, newly married couples, and working households who want functional, stable, and well-built rural housing. Tenants value space, light, privacy, and connection to the land while remaining within reach of jobs and services.

  • Homes are constructed with durable materials and efficient systems that minimize ongoing maintenance. Thoughtful site planning and practical unit design support extended occupancy, creating assets intended to be held across multiple market cycles.

  • Field & Frame focuses on long-term relevance, low-impact design, and durability rather than speculative features or short-term profit. Units balance functionality, livability, and environmental sensitivity, creating rental housing that endures across market cycles.
