Founded by Steve Nygren and his family in 2004, Serenbe is an idyllic community among the rolling farmlands of Chattahoochee Hills, in Fulton County, southwest of Atlanta.

The 1,200-acre mixed-use development, about 25 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson International airport, commingles nature and nurture in innovative and ecological ways. Single-family cottages, rural estates, townhouses and live-work businesses are surrounded by preserved forests, meadows, nature trails and an organic farm. But, what makes Serenbe a destination for both residents and visitors is its array of amenities and activities, ranging from retail shops, wine dinners and cooking classes to music and theater.
