Hi Lem, this is my application for HvFarm2 – Flaxfarm. I’ve already started building part of the mini, it’s still a WIP, of course. The fields need further refinement, inspired by the field-style of Stackspear. I also plan to improve the variation in the flax flowers to make them feel more natural and diverse.
The concept behind this build is that the family has gradually expanded their estate over the years. The small flax field in front of the farmhouse, known as The Old Flaxfield, is a tribute to their ancestors. While it's still harvested occasionally, its primary purpose now is aesthetic and symbolic. The larger 'new' flaxfields consists of three main fields, situated to the south along the riverbank, one central and a larger field in the north. This northern field follows the curve of the hill and leads toward a small hamlet. I plan to refine this curve so the flax rows follow the slope in a neat, organic way. While I’ve marked out a perfect circle in the layout for now, the final shape will be more natural and less geometrically perfect.
The small worker’s hamlet is located along the access road that runs from behind the hill. It was originally an ordinary hamlet, but the family purchased it over time to house their workers. As a result, it will have a more village-like atmosphere. The hamlet includes seven compact homes with shared spaces for storage and communal laundry.
Although the sand mine isn’t part of the mini itself, I’ve also drafted a layout suggestion for how it could be integrated. Ideally, it would blend elegantly into the landscape next to the mini. Feedback is always welcome—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
