Bundoran Farm is featured in the Spring 2008 issue of New Old House Magazine in an article written by Russell Versaci on New Ruralism.

In the article Mr. Versaci, a renowned expert on the architectural heritage of rural Virginia, focuses on strategies for “creating new communities in country places by building on traditions from America’s agrarian past”. Bundoran Farm is presented as an example of how it is possible to preserve the character and use of the rural landscape, champion environmental stewardship and fulfill the demand of people seeking to live in an authentic agrarian environment.

In addition to highlighting how 90% of Bundoran Farm’s 2,300 acres are preserved for cattle pastures, orchards and managed forest through a distinctive system of easements and covenants, Mr. Versaci also speaks to how homes will be designed and built in the manner that “honor the spirit of the countryside”. Homes “are designed to be smaller and less intrusive on the land, using the best sustainable building practices for a greener footprint. Native building materials and craft techniques are encouraged, building local architectural character into homes meant to last for generations. The result is new homes that share in living traditions by blending with historic roots.”
