About Our Developer

Behind the development of Anderson Farms stands the creative vision, financial strength, and real estate experience of owner and developer Richard B. Steele.

He earned a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1993, the year he and his partners took over ownership of Woodside, he founded Longmeadow Capital and served as the CEO for Poland Communications, the largest cable TV provider in Poland. In 1998, he founded and served as managing partner of Summer Street Capital Partners, a $100 million private equity fund focused on later-stage middle-market companies.

For almost 30 years, Steele’s overarching focus has been real estate development in Aiken, SC, where he has invested tens of millions of dollars to create one of the elite residential communities in the United States.

Stop by a Friday Night Pub Club at The Reserve Club during your visit; Rick and his wife, Carol, love to spend time mingling with the community, and would be thrilled to meet you as well.

A History of Nature Preservation

We have set aside more than 500 acres as a dedicated nature preserve, where a wide array of flora and fauna thrive. We are a dedicated Bluebird Sanctuary, and have set aside more than 12 acres within residential neighborhoods to dedicate as parks. The setting for homes within Anderson Farms, as a result, is nothing short of picturesque, and the lifestyle nothing short of idyllic.

The Anderson Farms Lifestyle

What makes Anderson Farms so special?

It’s access to resort-style amenities in a setting that feels like a countryside escape. It’s the sense of community built on the foundation of sustainable and peaceful living. It’s the ability to prepare a fresh meal of your own with eggs from the community chicken coop, or visit a community eatery for a delicious, locally-sourced meal for a night out.

It’s sipping a cool drink from the front porch of your custom home while gazing out at rolling hills, a pond, or an equine neighbor grazing peacefully.

The Anderson Farms lifestyle is simple and abundant, where happiness grows organically.
