The eco-chic community of Serenbe, 30 miles south of Atlanta, is expanding with a $250 million health-and-wellness–focused “hamlet” called Mado, which will soon offer 440 new houses. Imagine picking fresh fruits and vegetables after your morning jog, then returning to your Scandinavian country house, stylish shotgun home, cozy cottage, or townhome. Serenbe’s environs include a 25-acre organic farm, more than 15 miles of woodland trails, and berry-lined sidewalks. Officials say Mado’s first phase, including 270 homes, is nearly complete. Coming are offices, healthy eats, wellness-focused shops, a fitness center, and a hotel and destination spa.
