North Garden, Virginia
Client: Qroe Farm Preservation Development
Acreage: 2,300
Completed: Ongoing

Located twenty minutes south of Charlottesville, Virginia, Bundoran Farm and its 2,300 acres of pasture, orchards, and woodlands present a place that is both breathtaking in its natural beauty and classically Piedmont. Unique in both concept and execution, Bundoran Farm represents a rural community that combines farmland and forest preservation with limited residential development.

The Bundoran Program places the property under an intricate regime of easements and deed restrictions, ensuring the preservation of the farm’s character and function. Fee simple property owners allow restricted easements and protective overlays on their property. In exchange the farm protects and maintains large contiguous areas for pasture, recreation and forestry, guaranteeing the future viability of all these functions. Thus, property owners protect their investment and gain access to the larger maintained property.

From conceptual master planning to detailed construction documentation and engineering of systems such as alternative storm water management and conscientious road design, McKee Carson has worked with Qroe Farm Development to create a community that will enjoy, protect and enhance the working farm and all its natural resources.
