Metro Atlanta’s original farming-meets-walkability utopia is offering new options for buyers who fancy big-city accessibility and agriculture—if not livestock.

Tempting potential homeowners to “make your agrarian dreams a reality,” Serenbe has released new acreage for what’s called “farmettes,” or small residential farms just outside the main master-planned community.

Farmettes are designed to be large enough to fit a custom family home, vegetable gardens, barns and other outbuildings, and in some cases horse pastures.

What separates them from any rural lot in any boondocks pocket of metro Atlanta is connectivity to Serenbe shopping, dining, and amenities; each farmette is linked with Serenbe via a trail system, allowing “homestead” owners to be “in town” on a golf cart, for instance, in about five minutes, according to marketing materials.

“Imagine waking up surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature, collecting eggs from your chicken coop, or harvesting fresh vegetables from your backyard garden,” reads the spiel. “Now that is truly farm to table.”

So what’s this lifestyle cost?

Two new farmette properties released by Serenbe—F5 and F11—are positioned just west of the main town. One has 4.5 acres along Serenbe Road, the other 3.69 acres nearby. Both are priced at $550,000.

Other farmette options cost up to $599,000 for around 7 acres or more. 

Those prices are for the raw land only.

Persistently growing, Serenbe is a biophilic community in southern Fulton County’s Chattahoochee Hills, located about 35 miles southwest of Atlanta and set among rolling woodlands and pastures.

Serenbe's first house was completed in 2004, and the community now counts hundreds of full-time residents across several neighborhoods, all of them designed to be the antithesis of bland subdivisions.

A new Serenbe mixed-use wellness district with a price tag of nearly $300 million is expected to break ground early this year.
