Atlantans pining for a taste of San Francisco in the Georgia countryside could be in luck.

Serenbe officials send word that a six-unit project called Mado Hillside Homes has recently broken ground, with vertical construction expected to commence next month.

The vertically inclined dwellings are being stacked on quad-burning topography in Serenbe’s Mado. That section is positioned near the southern border of the growing, biophilic community set among pastures and woodlands about 35 miles southwest of Atlanta. 

The Mado Hillside Homes are being developed by Atlanta-based South Haven Builders, whose portfolio includes single-family, intown projects spanning from Kirkwood to Brookhaven, along with projects in northern suburbs.

According to Serenbe’s marketing team, the hillside residences will each have a different layout, ranging from two to four bedrooms. Some homes will feature balconies and courtyards, others lofts and offices.

The project is on pace to see move-ins in late 2024, but pricing has yet to be released. (For context, the least expensive single-family option at Serenbe right now is asking $625,000 for two bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,136 square feet.)

The project’s topography recalls the steep inclines of Serenbe’s Lupo Loop, a section of more than 50 residences designed with Danish aesthetics in mind across a nearby hillside.

In other Serenbe housing news, a four-home multifamily building coined “Modern in the Woods” is coming together (priced from $1.29 million); the push to sell bespoke “farmette” sites is heating up; and Walking Dead star Norman Reedus’ sleek modern estate remains on the market (and not budging at $3.85 million).
