Absolutely. I would pull back on the house if it meant I couldn't fully realize the potential of the landscape

You might find these interesting then...

Not a lot of great pictures and all together, the development looks a little David Koresh but the individual houses are all very interesting, inspired by 19th century scandinavian farm settlements in the upper midwest.

Thanks Cary ... and indeed much better done. I'm thinking of a cross between the two ... with a plan that is more dependent upon the centerpoint of the driveway circle.

Yes. His houses have gotten bigger, but he's still doing some similar work.

Ah, I forgot them. Ted Flato does what he calls "cracker modern." They are great homes, if a bit more conventional in how they are finished. Before we aborted our FL move, a Ted Flato house was topping our list.

I get that. Jackson Meadow is built around communal front yards... all the driveways are very short and all the house face "backwards" so that the "neighborhood street" is the single sidewalk between the front porches of the house.

I've been through a couple of them- very open and light, but with your neighbors' homes so close, zero privacy. Now, give me one in the middle of 40 acres.

Stephen Atkinson has done some nice rural work, that integrates very well with the surroundings. I had some preliminary discussions several years ago on building something, but we ended up finding a house that was already built.
I liked his Zachary house, in Zachary, LA
