On a hilly cul-de-sac off Roswell Road, a new Buckhead subdivision is beginning to take shape in hopes of luring deep-pocketed homebuyers who covet proximity to nature and what’s described as European flair.

Loudermilk Custom Homes has begun development and revved up marketing efforts for the first two spec homes of a project called Blue Heron Walk, situated on Emily Reed Lane about a half-mile east of Chastain Park.

Eleven total lots have been designed, but custom home designs are also welcome, according to the Atlanta-based luxury homebuilder.

A chief selling point is next-door proximity to Buckhead’s cherished Blue Heron Nature Preserve, which counts boardwalks and trails among 30 acres of wetlands, meadows, creeks, and old-growth woodlands.

According to Loudermilk, each lot spans 1/2 acre or more.

Perks will include 10 and 11-foot ceilings, Smart Home tech, three-car garages, gobs of windows, and gourmet kitchens, per the builder.

Which all comes at a price, of course.

So far, foot-in-the-door pricing at Blue Heron Walk starts at $3.9 million for Lot 11 near the entrance (following a price increase of more than $400,000 since the home was initially listed in November).

That buys five bedrooms and five and ½ bathrooms in 9,254 square feet, once two heated garage spaces and the unfinished basement level is factored in.

Meanwhile, the six-bedroom, 6,170-square-foot home project on Lot 6 (basement and garages excluded) is asking $4.1 million.

Beyond the nature preserve next door, perks of the location include a five-minute walk on nature trails to Buckhead’s coveted Sarah Smith Elementary, a two-minute drive to Ga. Highway 400, and 10-minute proximity to Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, and, uh, Midtown, per the builder’s calculations.
