At this point, million-dollar listings at metro Atlanta’s original utopian, master-planned wellness community are old hat, with nearly three dozen properties at that price point (or well above) currently on the market.

Now a Serenbe project with million-dollar prices but a unique, urban-style density and aesthetic is in the pipeline.

Coined “Modern in the Woods,” the four-home multifamily building is aiming to start construction in February among more traditional new houses in a scenic section of Serenbe called Overlook.

According to Serenbe media rep Nichole Hetchkop, the modern-style project along Selbourne Lane will be completed in December next year, with prices starting at $1.29 million.

All four of the floorplans offered stand three stories with four bedrooms and flex spaces. Square footages range between 3,039 and 3,219 square feet. (Find a closer look at floorplans in the gallery above.)

Sales are expected to begin in mid-2024, according to Hetchkop.

Perks include "gorgeous views out to protected woods and trails to [a nearby] waterfall," Hetchkop wrote via email. 

The broader, 40-home Serenbe community is called Overlook—named for its views across nearby Cedar Creek—and it’s taking shape between existing mixed-use hamlet Mado and a future one called Spela.

Serenbe is a growing biophilic community in southern Fulton County’s Chattahoochee Hills, located about 35 miles southwest of Atlanta and set among rolling woodlands and pastures. Its first house was completed in 2004, and the community now counts hundreds of full-time residents across several distinctive neighborhoods.

So what’s the least expensive homebuying option at Serenbe these days? That’d be a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, cottage-style townhome with just shy of 1,100 square feet. It’s asking $835,000, in foreclosure. [UPDATE: 6:32 p.m. Dec. 13: Serenbe sends notification of cheaper options listed in-house; see comments section below for more details.]
