Concept
Serenbe is a highly touted 900 acre green community consisting of 220 homes. The community is located just outside of Atlanta in the Chattahoochee Hill Country. To say that Serenbe was thoughtfully planned would be an understatement. The development team at Serenbe has created a place where there was just as much concentration on quality of life as their was on sustainability. Walkable neighborhoods are mixed in with protected space to create a community full of beautiful views and interesting neighbors.
A conscious commitment towards promoting diversity has lead to several interesting features of Serenbe. First, the community features a variety of architectural styles and dwelling types ranging from live/work lofts to single family cottages & estates. Second, a commitment to the arts, agriculture, and land, has attracted wonderful minds towards the community. Many of the residents care deeply about preserving the land on which they live.
Exploring the land is easy, as there will be plenty of trails for walking, hiking, and biking. The community will connect to a 98 mile greenway system which weaves it way throughout the rolling country. The paths will outline the natural land, meandering along small streams and through fields of wildflowers.
Recent droughts are evidence that water is an important resource in Georgia. Serenbe has addressed that need by developing wastewater treatment and storm water management programs. Graywater from homes will be reused in the best fitted way, including being used to meet irrigation demands, as water for toilets, or sent off for treatment. Storm water will run into heavily vegetated regions and will be disbursed naturally. Native plants are used throughout the development, which significantly decreases the need to water the lawn.
Neighborhood
The community is built in 3 distinct sections, called "hamlets". The hamlets at Serenbe were carefully planned to correspond with the natural terrain. This has helped to leave the majority of the land undisturbed. Each hamlet, which includes restaurants and shops, has its own distinct style.
Serenbe has many amenities for its residents to enjoy. There is a town square where community events, farmers markets and many more activities take place. Outdoor music performances and films are common. Basketball and tennis courts are available for public use. There is also a 25 acre organic farm located at the community which supplies fresh foods to the residents and a horse riding facility for residents enjoyment.
The surrounding 40,000 acres which compose the Chattahoochee Hill Country will remain 80% open space, which means that the land will remain beautiful and healthy for years to come.
Homes
In line with the communities commitment to diversity, there are several styles and types of homes offered. Live & work spaces, townhouses, single family cottages, and estate homes make up the real estate offerings. Home prices start in the $300,000s and vary by style and type of home.

- Energy efficient systems
- High indoor air quality
- Resource efficiency building materials
- Water conservation
