A new village for Bedford and Trimble County
Coleman’s Landing is a vision for a new village in Bedford, shaped by homes, trails, small businesses, healthcare, gathering spaces, and open land. The plan brings new activity near Main Street while extending into the wooded hills and meadows that define the site.
At full buildout, Coleman’s Landing could include a Village Center, senior living, a clinic, cottages, farmette lots, estate homes, village lots, townhomes, house-form fourplexes, public trails, overlooks, greens, and places to gather.

The master plan shows how the site could become a connected community over time. The Village Center sits near Main Street, where shops, food, services, care, and public spaces can be easily reached. From there, streets and trails lead into a mix of neighborhoods, cottage courts, larger rural lots, wooded areas, and open space.
The plan is meant to feel like it belongs in Bedford: practical, walkable, tied to the land, and built around places where people can run into each other.
TRAILS & NEIGHBORHOODS
The plan uses the site’s hillsides, woods, meadows, and long views as part of the community layout. Homes, trails, and the Village Center are placed around that landscape rather than treating it as leftover land.
Coleman’s Landing is planned on roughly 229 acres. The current concept shows 130+ acres as open space, wooded landscape, meadow, trails, and large rural lots with limited building clearances. About 3.8 miles of public trails would connect the Village Center, neighborhoods, pond, overlooks, and wooded areas.
Coleman’s Landing includes a range of housing types, from larger rural-edge lots to smaller cottages and senior living. This mix gives the plan more flexibility and creates different ways to live within the same community.
THE VILLAGE CENTER
The Village Center is planned near Main Street as the public heart of Coleman’s Landing. It could include local food, small shops, a clinic, senior living, event space, outdoor seating, shaded parking, and flexible gathering areas.
The idea is a small Bedford-scale center, not a strip center. Buildings are arranged around walks, greens, parking courts, and outdoor spaces so the area feels active, local, and easy to move through.
