MEET THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

 

The Aylesbury Plantation development team is not your typical group of developers.  While they have experience in business and real estate, they are first and foremost agriculturalists.  They are farmers with a vision of how people can live together in a rural community setting that still looks and feels like the country—where people and farming co-exist.

 

Hines Boyd grew up on a large family farm adjoining Aylesbury Plantation.  His family and he still own and operate this sixth generation farm.  Boyd earned a PhD in agriculture from the University of Florida.  He has more than 25 years experience acquiring and managing rural lands.  He has developed numerous projects for investors and his own family.  He is also the great-great-great grandson of Aylesbury Shehee who settled the current Aylesbury Plantation land more than 175 years ago.

 

Wayne Lane farms several thousand acres of crops in North Florida and South Georgia.  He began farming with a few acres of rented land about 20 years ago.  Today, Lane is recognized as one of the region’s most progressive farmers.  His “farmer’s touch” brings an uncommon skill to a development project.  A neighbor recently described the Aylesbury land as “breathtakingly beautiful.”  Nature created the scenic landscape, but nature had able assistance from Lane and his staff.

 

Lello Tarabini, a former clothing wholesale merchant in northern Italy, purchased the Aylesbury land in 1978.  By the mid-1980s, he owned over 3,000 contiguous acres in the area.  Tarabini built a large modern dairy farm that is operated today by his daughter and son-in-law.  A few hundred yards east of Aylesbury Plantation, he designed and built his own 18-hole golf course and eventually added a small Italian-style resort village.  To create Aylesbury Plantation, Tarabini personally selected some of his most beautiful land for this picturesque conservation development
