A little about Bundoran from the Nest Realty site:

A truly unique opportunity in Albemarle County, Bundoran Farm is a preservation development encompassing a 2,300 acre farm. Of the total acreage, about 1,100 acres is given to cattle pastures, 1,000 acres is conserved as managed forest with over 15 miles of trails and 200 acres is given to orchards yielding Red and Golden Delicious, Rome and Granny Smith apples. Located in Southern Albemarle County, about 15 minutes from Charlottesville, Bundoran Farm real estate options include Ridge View, Forest View, and Meadow View home sites ranging from 2 to nearly 100 acres. Bundoran Farm homes will be built to the highest standards with a traditional architectural style, consistent with that of rural Charlottesville and Piedmont, Virginia.

 The New York Times highlighted Albemarle County’s  Bundoran Farm this week. 

For those of you not quite familiar with Bundoran, it’s a 2300-acre Preservation Development located in southern Albemarle County.  Bundoran encompasses everything that is good about preserving the land and using it’s resources wisely. 

 

From the Bundoran site:

Preservation Development uses limited residential development to preserve the character and use of rural landscapes in perpetuity. Preservation Development has been described as a “three legged stool.” Each leg of the stool represents a different activity and constituency which bear an equal amount of weight.      
                                                                                                                                                                     
1. Farming – agricultural work and land management activities.
2. Environmental – guided by the work of Audubon International.
3. Development – home ownership and residency on a working farm.      
                                                                                                                                        
These three interdependent legs of the stool support a development that is endearing, enduring and replicable.  Over the few years, some one hundred families will make their home here. Attracted to living in harmony with productive land and creating a community committed to the active application of environmentally responsible principles, these families will not be merely homeowners, but stewards of the land.
