The 13th Annual Serenbe Showhouse

erenbe, in partnership with Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine, is proud to present the 13th Annual Serenbe Designer Showhouse. Set in Serenbe’s picturesque Overlook Hamlet, this year’s Designer Showhouse is an extraordinary custom estate by Phillip Clark Custom Builders that seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern living. Surrounded by protected forest views and offering direct access and views of Cedar Creek, the home is thoughtfully designed to feel both sophisticated and connected to nature. A gracious entry opens into expansive, light-filled living spaces where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow effortlessly together. Multiple covered back porches extend the living experience outdoors, creating inviting spaces for entertaining, gathering with family and friends, or simply enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The main level features a private primary retreat complete with dual spa-inspired bathrooms designed for comfort and convenience. Downstairs, three generously sized guest bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath, are complemented by an additional living and gathering space that makes gathering effortless. Beginning October 1, guests are invited to experience thoughtfully curated interiors featuring finishes by Mister + Mrs Sharp and rooms transformed by an acclaimed roster of designers. More than a showcase of beautiful spaces, the Serenbe Designer Showhouse celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and community impact, offering design inspiration while also supporting the Decorative Arts Fellowship through Art Farm’s Creative Residency Program.

This year’s Decorative Arts Fellowship recipient is Stephanie Wheeler, a painter whose work blends abstraction and impressionism. Drawing on her lifelong connection to nature, Stephanie creates richly layered works through a variety of media including oils, charcoal, watercolor, and ink. Her art has appeared in numerous publications, including Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles,Traditional Home, and Southern Living, and has been featured at notable destinations including The High Hampton Inn in Cashiers, North Carolina, and Blackberry Farm in Tennessee. The Creative Residency Program supports artists in the early-to-mid stages of their careers, welcoming makers and thinkers across disciplines—from visual artists and designers to writers, chefs, performers, and beyond. The Serenbe Designer Showhouse is one way the growing program brings artists and their work to a wider audience. By creating opportunities for artists to be seen, experienced, and celebrated within the community, the Showhouse helps connect art, design, and place in meaningful ways. The 2026 Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Serenbe Designer Showhouse runs October 1 - 25 in the Overlook neighborhood and features interiors by Mister + Mrs Sharp and 12+ top interior designers. Open Thursday - Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours on Friday from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for Sip N Stroll tours. The Toast & Tour Preview Party on September 30 includes early access, bubbly, light bites, live music, and more. Proceeds support The Art Farm’s Decorative Arts Fellowship.

MOLDING COMMUNITY S

Minro Studio Expands

ince opening in 2024, Minro Studio has quickly become a beloved fixture of the neighborhood. Nearly every day, rain or shine, Minro’s peaceful coffee shop is filled with patrons enjoying its thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks, matcha, and delicious pastries from Atlanta’s Colette Bakeshop. But the other side of Minro’s business – a thriving ceramics studio – has been growing just as rapidly. Last summer, Minro relocated its pottery studio from a small upstairs live-work apartment into the retail space next door. The move provided much-needed room to expand programming, allowing Minro to offer children’s workshops throughout the summer, as well as adult classes and workshops in both handbuilding and wheel throwing. Beyond fostering creativity, pottery has become increasingly recognized for its mental health benefits. The tactile, hands-on nature of working with clay encourages mindfulness, reduces stress, and provides a welcome respite from the pace of everyday life. For many participants, time in the studio is as restorative as it is creative. Caroline Gilling, co-owner of Minro Studio and a very talented ceramics artist in her own right, says, “Opening the studio next to the café has made us much more visible to the community, and the response has been really wonderful. There’s so much curiosity, from little

ones to adults, which has been really fun to experience...it feels much more accessible now, both to locals and to visitors. One of the highlights has been getting to know more of the community’s kids through our classes. Watching their creative minds and little hands make something beautiful and completely their own has been such a special thing to be part of.” Minro also offers studio memberships for those interested in deepening their pottery practice. The only requirement for new members is that they have completed a workshop or have previous experience with ceramics. The environment is warm, welcoming, and community-oriented. Members are encouraged to support one another, share techniques and advice, and at the same time respect those who prefer a quieter, more solitary creative practice. Members can purchase clay directly from the studio or bring their own, and in-house glazes are available for their use at no additional cost. Many Serenbe residents who joined as beginners have since become quite accomplished potters in their own right. “We have a really special group of women who are members at the studio,” says Gilling. “They come in on their own time to create, whether that’s wheel throwing or hand sculpting. Watching how much they’ve evolved since joining has been one of the best parts of running this space. It truly feels like we’ve built something that goes beyond ceramics.” Serenbe resident Sunny Whang Daughtrey took her first pottery class in Los Angeles 20 years ago. After years of sporadic practice, she found a consistent creative rhythm after joining Minro more than a year ago. She credits the studio’s proximity, regular practice, and supportive community with helping her work evolve. “I feel so fortunate to be able to play and create with such a safe, supportive, and beautiful group of people,” she says. “I came in with some muscle memory from throwing over 30 years ago, but honestly I couldn’t center to save my life, and I didn’t really have an understanding of how to create the shapes I wanted to make,” says Serenbe resident and studio member Ali Harper Wittorf.“Over the past year and a half that has completely changed.The progress has honestly surprised even me and now I find myself going down a whole new rabbit hole with glazing and glaze chemistry. That’s the best thing about pottery, though – there’s always something new to uncover, something to challenge you, test your patience. But somehow it never feels like work, and I think that’s truly a testament to Caroline’s vision for the studio.” In December 2025, Minro hosted its first member market. In true Serenbe fashion, the community showed up in droves, eager to support their neighbors and celebrate the creativity flourishing within the studio. For those interested in joining, Minro plans to open a limited number of additional studio memberships in the future. The membership program is intentionally kept small and intimate, so prospective members are encouraged to join the waitlist. In the meantime, Minro remains focused on expanding its workshops and events programming, creating more opportunities for both residents and visitors to experience the joy of working with clay.

SOUND CHECK F

A Year of Music at the Art Farm

rom jazz and classical performances to opera and immersive sound experiences, the Art Farm at Serenbe has spent the past year bringing an eclectic lineup of live music to the community. The season featured a celebrated Jazz Series with performances by Sounds of April and Randall, pianist and composer Kenny Banks, and vocalist Rhonda Thomas. Each concert offered something different, from soulful vocals to improvisational sets that highlighted the many influences and traditions that make jazz such an enduring art form. The programming also ventured into more experimental territory with The Art of Experimental Music: Sound, Space, and Imagination, a one-night immersive performance that transformed Gainey Hall into a living, responsive instrument. Presented by artists from Georgia Tech and SCAD, the experience blended experimental electronic music, spatial audio, live performance, and real-time visual projections that evolved in response to the performers’ movements. The result was a performance that felt less like a traditional concert and more like stepping inside a work of art. This summer continued the momentum. July’s The Sound of Freedom: The Story of Jazz explored the origins and cultural impact of jazz through live performance and storytelling. In August, the Mado Amphitheatre became the stage for the second annual Summer Classical Music Series, where audiences gathered outdoors to hear timeless works performed against the

backdrop of Serenbe’s rolling hills, Mado Pond and evening skies. “We’ve put in place classical music every Sunday afternoon in the Mado Amphitheatre,” says Art Farm Music Council Chair Gary Cassis. “It’s absolutely divine because it’s staged in such a beautiful setting with the pond, the sculpture and the landscape. It’s perfect.” The music continues this fall with Mambo, Latin Jazz & Beyond, a celebration of AfroCuban and Latin jazz traditions, followed by Modern Masters of Jazz, which spotlights the artists and sounds shaping contemporary jazz today. Taken together, the past year’s programming reflects the Art Farm’s commitment to presenting a wide range of musical experiences and creating opportunities to discover something unexpected. Whether gathering for a jazz concert as the sun sets, experiencing opera in an intimate setting, listening to classical music beneath the open sky, or stepping into an immersive world of sound and light, live music has become one of the many ways people come together at Serenbe. Learn more about upcoming performances and concert series by visiting artfarmatserenbe.org/music.

SERENBE FARMS A

A Hub for Locavores

According to Serenbe Farms manager Brandi Whitney, the summer yield was nothing short of abundant. From garlic, onions, and peppers, to cucumbers, carrots, and tomatilloes, the farm is in full bloom and shows no signs of slowing down. Keeping that momentum, however, takes more than fertile soil. That pace would be nearly impossible to maintain without the support of the community. With help from volunteers and keen insight from other local farms, Whitney and her staff are transforming Serenbe Farms into a one-stop-shop hub where residents and visitors can easily shop local. “It’s very important for the residents and even people outside of Serenbe to come in and feel comfortable,” Whitney said. “So I always try to make that initial connection with them, and let them know how important they are to our survival, because without them, we have no farm.” Every Tuesday from 4:30 to 7 p.m., Serenbe Farms hosts a popup market where their produce and other goods from local farms are on offer. The Tuesday popup also doubles as the pickup spot for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share members, who have a special harvest box set aside for them each week. If you’re in Serenbe on Saturdays from 9 to 12 p.m., check out the larger weekly Farmers Market, where vendors from all over the Southeast fill the Grange market stalls. Serenbe Farms recently expanded into two stalls to make space for additional veggies and goods from

other local farms.Together, the Tuesday popup and Saturday market have become a one-stop destination for locally grown food and artisan goods. “It’s like they’re doing their grocery shopping, and that’s kind of what I want to have at both markets. We want to feature multiple farms so that everybody can just come here and get whatever they want – produce, meat, cheese, eggs, that sort of thing – so they don’t need to go outside of the community,” Whitney said. That mission will soon extend beyond market days. Serenbe Farms plans to open a self-serve container store stocked with many of the same products available at both markets, giving residents and visitors another convenient way to shop local throughout the week. Whether you’re picking up a CSA box, browsing the Tuesday popup, or filling your basket at the Saturday Farmers Market, shopping at Serenbe Farms is about more than buying fresh food. It’s a chance to support local growers, strengthen the regional food system, and enjoy produce harvested at its seasonal peak. For locavores, every purchase is a simple but meaningful way to stay connected to the land, the people who cultivate it, and the community that brings it all together. Learn more about Serenbe Farms, see weekly opportunities to shop for fresh, local produce, sign up for the CSA program, and view volunteer opportunities by visiting serenbefarms.com.

A NEW CHAPTER

Culinary & Community at Gainey Hall

t Serenbe, every space tells a story. Some stories begin with architecture, others with the landscape, and many unfold around the table. Gainey Hall has long been one of those places, a gathering space where neighbors connect, visitors discover, and memorable experiences are shared. Today,the next chapter in its story begins with the completion of a thoughtfully reimagined kitchen and cooking space, created through a collaborative partnership with RUE Magazine. This renovation represents more than a design transformation. It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating spaces that inspire connection, creativity, and community life. Working alongside RUE and an exceptional team of partners, the Gainey Hall kitchen has been elevated into a space that is as functional as it is beautiful, blending timeless design with state-of-the-art culinary capabilities. The renovation showcases cabinetry from Novalina, premium SKS appliances, and stunning Caesarstone countertops, each selected with intention and craftsmanship in mind. Together, these elements create a kitchen that feels both sophisticated and welcoming, a space designed to support everything from gatherings to hands-on culinary experiences. Great design should enhance the way people live and the new Gainey Hall kitchen embodies that philosophy, offering a setting where food, learning, and hospitality come together naturally.While the materials and finishes bring beauty to the space, its true purpose lies in the experiences it will foster.

With the renovation complete, we are relaunching cooking classes. For years, these classes have offered opportunities for residents and guests to gather, learn new skills, and connect through a shared love of food. The upgraded kitchen provides an ideal environment for chefs, instructors, and participants to cook, create, and learn together. Beyond cooking classes, the renewed space will host an expanded calendar of culinary programming. We envision chef-led dinners, seasonal tasting events, educational workshops, and community gatherings that celebrate the rich food culture that has always been part of Serenbe’s identity. Whether introducing guests to local ingredients picked freshly from Serenbe Farms up the street, showcasing talented culinary partners, or simply creating opportunities for meaningful connection, Gainey Hall will continue to serve as a place where community is built around the table. From cooking classes and special dinners to celebrations and gatherings, Gainey Hall’s new kitchen is ready to welcome people in, spark conversation, and create lasting memories. Because at Serenbe, the most meaningful spaces are not defined by what they look like alone, but by the experiences they make possible. Book Gainey Hall for a conference, host a dinner, a cooking class or gathering. Contact The Inn at Serenbe at serenbeinn.com/event-booking for rates and availability. Discover upcoming public events at Gainey Hall at serenbe.com/events.

CURATING CLARITY Levie Merci’s Journey to Serenbe

spur-of-the-moment road trip stop led Tia Morrill and Jose Nava to the place they now call home. The couple met in Miami in 2013 and married the following year.The city offered plenty to love: a vibrant arts scene, rich cultural diversity, and year-round sunshine. But after the pandemic, daily life began to feel increasingly hectic.Traffic worsened, crowds grew, waits became longer, and finding quality time with family became more difficult. “We really wanted a change of pace for our kids–that was our primary goal,” Morrill said. “We just wanted them to have the ability to have a wonderful childhood where they can ride their bikes and be in nature and just have a different kind of lifestyle than what is possible in Miami.” Connection to nature was at the top of their wishlist, somewhere that felt neither conventionally suburban nor completely rural. Asheville, North Carolina, made the shortlist, and the family packed up the car for a scouting trip to the mountain town. Along the way, Morrill and Nava added a last-minute stop in Serenbe after seeing a segment on Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist that highlighted the community’s biophilic approach to living. They arrived with their two children, who immediately felt at home. “We got there at about 9pm, and it was a couple days after Christmas so there was a lit tree over by The Inn. The kids jump out of the car and they start kind of running across the field. They do a few laps and we’re taking pictures. It was magical,” Nava said. “When they ran back, Lola came to me and said, ‘Daddy, I love it here. I feel so free.’” The kids weren’t the only ones who were captivated. Morrill and Nava said that, right off the bat, Serenbe had exactly what they were looking for. “We got here, and we were like, ‘Yes, this checks all the boxes–done,” Morrill said. “On that three-day trip, we saw the plot of land that’s now our house.” It wasn’t long after that they had traded the hustle and bustle of Miami for the wooded splendor of Chattahoochee Hills, officially moving to Serenbe in June 2024. Morrill and Nava, who run their own branding agency Levie, never imagined

opening a retail shop in Serenbe. But when a commercial space became available in the Mado neighborhood, they saw an opportunity to create something new: a carefully curated boutique featuring clothing, accessories, and home goods inspired by the brands, designers, and craftsmanship they had discovered around the world. For Morrill and Nava, style is a form of creative expression. In Miami, fashion often felt more like an obligation than a choice. In Serenbe, however, they found the freedom to dress— and live—in a way that reflected who they are rather than what was expected of them. “In Miami, it’s almost like you dress up because that was the norm,” Nava said. “But here, you do it for yourself.You’re not doing it for anybody but yourself.” When reflecting on what Serenbe has added to their lives, one word comes to mind: clarity. The pace and pressures of Miami’s urban sprawl obscured the things they were most passionate about, from cooking and style to artistic expression.The Serenbe mindset, Morrill said, helped shift their focus back toward what truly mattered. “I feel like I’ve grown so much since I moved here, but the biggest thing that has been for me is very clarifying,” Morrill said.“When you’re in a city like Miami and there’s so much going on, you’re constantly distracted and going from one thing to the next, so you’re not really thinking through what matters to you in life or what you derive joy from, and I think here with things kind of stripped back, it’s shown me what I love and how style is such an important part of my creative expression.” For families considering a move to Serenbe, the couple’s biggest encouragement is simple: they have yet to meet a child who doesn’t love it. “It will give you clarity, which I think in today’s world is harder to find,” Morrill said. “So come get found in the forest.” Learn more about Levie Merci, discover hours and location at leviemerci.com.

Nature is central to Serenbe’s design. There is a 25-acre farm, a seasonal farmers market, forest trails and a food forest integrated in the community. The homes feature porches and gathering spots. Benches, small patios, even the community mailboxes are placed on main paths to encourage everyday interaction.

Serenbe, a master-planned, agrihood-focused community near Atlanta, shows how walkable, amenity-rich neighborhoods can turn wellness design into a lifestyle advantage. Serenbe has been considered a blueprint for wellness real estate development in the United States since it was established in the early 2000s.

Today, the Inn at Serenbe features 2,000 acres with 20 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding. Guests can volunteer on the organic vegetable farm, where they grow more than 300 varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, for the entire day, join a guided tour, participate in a workshop (like herbal tea blending), or take it slow by plucking fresh blueberries on their way to feed the animals in the animal village.

Serenbe, located about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta in Chattahoochee Hill Country, was designed to be different. Its name combines the words “serenity” and “be”, reflecting a philosophy that has attracted national attention from planners, architects and environmental advocates.

The peace and quiet starts even before arrival, as guests pass through rolling countryside and wooded trails on the way in, kickstarting a natural transition away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Upon approaching the property, that sense of nature continues with an external and internal design centered around biophilia.

PAST & PRESENT Deer Hollow Park Comes Alive

ucked just inside the Atlanta-Newnan Road entrance to Serenbe, Deer Hollow Park has become a tranquil haven for neighbors and visitors alike. A place for trail walks, ballet performances, public art installations and quiet respite, yet the greenspace also holds a rich, layered history. The story begins in the late 1800s with Thomas Jefferson Barfield, who lived in a small cabin on the land, gradually expanding the home as his family grew. Barfield later sold the property to James “Jimmy” Shell, who, with his second wife Frances, converted a one-room log schoolhouse on the site into a family home. That modest cabin was gradually built out with additional rooms, until it became the hallway of an ornate Victorian cottage. Shell’s large blended family – three children from a previous marriage and 17 more with Frances – left deep roots in the area. Family members still live in Chattahoochee Hills and recently gathered for a reunion of more than 200 people on the land. In the early 1990s, after the Nygrens acquired the original farm property that now houses The Inn at Serenbe, they bought an adjoining 60 acres that included what remained of the Shell homestead. Portions of that acreage were sold over time, and ultimately was purchased by early Serenbe residents John and Karen-Flanders Reid. The Reids fully embraced the property, opening it for arts programming and private events. They hosted outdoor performances by Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre, lit the remaining cabin during the holidays, and welcomed neighbors for community gatherings. After a decade of stewardship, they partnered with Serenbe to incorporate a portion of their land into the community, creating what is now the permanently protected Deer Hollow Park. Landscape designers Alec Michaelides and Kenneth Lemm of Land Plus Associates, both Serenbe residents, developed a low-key, rural design that complements the site’s natural character. Named Deer Hollow by Karen Reid for the deer that frequently gather there, the park was envisioned as a passive greenspace—a place for quiet reflection and exploration rather than organized recreation. Today, it features an open lawn and seating area, trails that weave through temporary and permanent public art installations, and the preserved historic structures, which remain closed to the public to protect them. Public art has become a defining feature of Deer Hollow. The first permanent installation, Serenity for Shango by internationally recognized sculptor Curtis Patterson, was funded by a community organization established in the summer of 2020. The work honors African American cultural heritage through references to the Yoruba deity Shango. Its double-iron motif echoes the traditional double-axe symbol while paying tribute to generations of domestic workers in the region. A surrounding gathering space encourages visitors to experience both

the artwork and the landscape. The sculpture is stewarded by Art Farm at Serenbe as part of its Public Art & Special Projects Council. In 2023, Art Farm also commissioned the temporary installation Rich Soil by San Francisco artist Kristine Mays. A self-described “maker” who has worked in wire since 1993, Mays is known for creating expressive, life-sized wire sculptures that explore themes of humanity, resilience, and connection. During her residency at Serenbe, Rich Soil was exhibited alongside her concurrent installation at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, with select works available for purchase. Reflecting on her practice, Mays said, “I am honored and humbled that I can spend my life creating artwork and sharing it with the world.” Deer Hollow Park stands as a testament to the many people who have shaped this landscape over more than a century. From the Barfield and Shell families to the Reids and the Serenbe community, each generation has added a new chapter while preserving what came before. It is a place where history, nature, and community continue to coexist, ensuring the story of Deer Hollow remains alive for generations to come. Deer Hollow Park is open from dawn to dusk and is accessible on foot from the Serenbe trail network off Selborne Lane just beyond the Gainey Lane crosswalk with golf cart parking near the Atlanta Newnan Road entrance.

CHEF IN RESIDENCE Tanya Holland Spreads Culinary Joy

his past Spring, Serenbe’s Art Farm concluded an eight-day pilot residency with acclaimed chef, author and TV host Tanya Holland, marking a high-profile launch for the new Art Farm at Serenbe Creative Residency Program. The residency blended food, storytelling, land-based learning and community engagement across a slate of public and private events designed to showcase a model for future culinary– creative residencies. Organizers say the program met, and in many ways, exceeded expectations. Highlights included a sold out dinner at Gainey Hall, where guests enjoyed a multicourse menu inspired by modern soul food while Holland shared personal stories about her culinary journey and cultural influences. The menu, curated with seasonal, Serenbe sourced produce and signature touches from Holland’s cookbook repertoire, paired nostalgic flavors with contemporary techniques. Educational and community programming rounded out the residency. At the Terra School, Holland led an engaging classroom session on creativity, food and community that attracted chefs, students and local growers. “Food is memory, and memory is the map to community,” Holland told attendees, urging collaboration between culinary practitioners and land stewards. A morning “Coffee with the Growers” convening connected Art Farm with nearby farms

and nonprofits, sparking plans for ongoing partnerships around seasonal sourcing and landbased workshops. Holland also appeared at Hills & Hamlets bookshop for a talk and book signing, drawing fans of her work and expanding the residency’s public reach. The residency also fostered community moments that resonated beyond programming metrics: neighbors lingering after dinner to talk about shared histories, younger cooks exchanging notes with Holland, and farmers plotting how to bring more Serenbe-grown ingredients into future menus. As the week drew to a close,Tanya Holland’s presence helped stitch new connections across Serenbe’s table, between chefs and growers, neighbors and newcomers, donors and students. Food served as the common language, turning shared meals into moments of history-telling, mentorship, and mutual investment in the land. If Holland’s time in Serenbe proved anything, it was that culinary practice can do more than nourish bodies; it can nourish community. Images are from Tanya Holland’s sold out dinner in Gainey Hall. The Art Farm Creative Residency Program also hosted spoken word artist Sarah Kay in May. Learn more about future residencies at artfarmatserenbe.org.

UP ON THE FIELD T

Games, Goals & Gathering

ucked away in the Selborne neighborhood, beyond The Hill and Austin’s, you’ll find a large playing field, natural dog park, children’s playground, a basketball court and multiple tennis/pickle ball courts. These amenities have been updated and expanded over the years and as the resident population has grown, so has usage. One day you might stumble upon a mass of children chasing soccer balls or teams of neighbors playing organized flag football. Organized sports at Serenbe began roughly 14 years ago as an annual post-Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl has transformed into a robust sports culture that those fields couldn’t have imagined back in 2012. The Turkey Bowl was first organized by a gregarious neighbor who rallied our growing community of around 200 residents for a late morning tailgate and competitive flag football competition. Crock pots of chili, BBQ and cupcakes were served on the back of golf carts, bloody marys and spritzers flowed and the group was sorted into multiple teams to be eliminated down to the winner by the afternoon. That tradition continues today as a revolving team of neighbors organizes the players and tailgates alike. It wasn’t until the pandemic, however, that Serenbe’s sports leagues truly took off. With more free time, an influx of new residents, and the outdoors offering a safe place to gather, neighbors gravitated toward recreational play. Tennis became a daily ritual, followed by weekly touch football, and participation steadily grew. Before long, Chicago-style softball emerged, with six neighborhood-based teams—including two from Mado—bringing a spirited mix of camaraderie and friendly competition. As enthusiasm continued to build, so did the lineup of sports. A fall kickball/pitchball league was introduced, followed by a co-ed spring softball league that welcomed players of all ages. As football participation eventually tapered off, soccer gained

momentum, beginning as casual co-ed 5-on-5 matches and growing into a league with 77 players on its roster. This year has brought a renewed interest in sports, with the emphasis shifting from competition to connection. Ultimate Frisbee is a perfect example. What began as separate games for kids and adults quickly merged when everyone realized they were having more fun playing together. Today, participants range in age from 7 to their 60s. Opportunities to stay active extend well beyond Serenbe’s upper field. The nearby Chatt Hills Rico Park & Athletic Field hosts a spring t-ball league, while Team Genesis BJJ offers jiujitsu classes in Mado. Swim Club members can join the Serenbe Sharks swim team, and Glen Slater of Pro Bike Repair regularly leads gravel and road rides throughout the area. For runners, Dr. Kate Edwards organizes a community run club and the annual Fast Bananas Trail Race. Not every outdoor activity is a sport. Once a month, the TrailHeads gather to maintain Serenbe’s extensive trail network, combining stewardship with time spent together outdoors. Whether it’s joining an organized league, finding a tennis partner, riding the Silk Sheets with friends, or simply helping care for the trails, there are countless ways to get outside, build community, and stay active. And if history is any indication, the next beloved pastime – perhaps even Wiffleball – may be just around the corner. Move to Serenbe and join in on the fun! Explore available homes at serenberealestate.com or stop by our office. Serenbe Real Estate is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, Saturday 11am to 5pm, and Sunday 12pm to 5pm. Model homes, located at 1230 Mado Loop and 1131 Lupo Loop, are open for self-guided tours between 11am-3pm every Saturday or by appointment.

THE SUNDAY DRIVE T

Reviving A Lost Art

here was a time when the Sunday drive was a ritual. After breakfast, after church services, or sometimes for no reason at all, people would pile into the car and head out, without reservations or a destination, or schedule. Just a tank of gas, a stretch of open road, and a willingness to see where the day led. Somewhere along the line, we stopped doing that. Our society became obsessed with efficiency. Every route is mapped, every outing planned. We know exactly where we’re going and exactly how long it will take to get there.We’ve gotten really good at arriving but we’ve lost a little bit of the wandering. That’s why a day in Serenbe feels so refreshing. This isn’t to say that Serenbe recreates the Sunday drive exactly, but a day here captures the feeling.There’s a sense that the day doesn’t need to be optimized and that curiosity can still lead the way. Instead of Sunday, let’s use Saturday in Serenbe as an example of what we mean. The day starts simply enough. Breakfast at The Daisy. Coffee, a pastry, and nowhere in particular you need to be afterward. Maybe you wander through the Farmers Market, picking up fresh produce, chatting with local growers, or discovering something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it. And then, instead of heading home, you keep going. Maybe you follow a trail, just because it looks interesting. One path leads to another. You might find a piece of art tucked into the woods.You hear water before you see it and end up at one of Serenbe’s hidden waterfalls.You take the longer route back without thinking twice. This is the kind of wandering that feels increasingly rare and surprisingly necessary. The afternoon unfolds naturally from there. A visit to the farm for a tour. A stop inside Hills & Hamlets bookstore. Browsing the shops in Selborne or picking up a hostess gift in Mado. Maybe a wine flight at the Wine Shop. Maybe simply sitting on a bench and watching the world move at a slower pace. As evening arrives, dinner at The Hill feels like the next chapter rather than the next stop Afterwards, maybe you head to jazz at Austin’s or stop in for a night cap, then take a stroll beneath the stars. Because you can really look up and see the stars here. And that’s the thing about the Sunday drive. It was certainly never about Sunday. It wasn’t even really about the drive itself. It was about giving yourself permission to explore without a reason, to leave room for discovery, and to allow a day to become memorable because of all the things that happened in between your plans.

At Serenbe, that feeling isn’t reserved for one day a week. It’s available on a Saturday morning or a Wednesday afternoon. Any day when you decide to slow down enough to notice what’s around the next bend. The lost art of the Sunday drive isn’t lost after all. It just looks different than it used to.

BEYOND SERENBE A Blueprint For Placemaking

This article, written by Serenbe founder Steve Nygren, is an abridged adaptation of an essay originally published on his Substack.

hen people first began visiting Serenbe, they usually arrived with a lot of questions. One of the more common ones was: “How did you do this?” In the early years, I was happy to answer it myself. I’d spend hours walking people through the trails, neighborhoods, farms, and village centers, explaining not just what they were seeing, but why it had been designed that way. Those conversations revealed something important. People weren’t simply curious about a single community nestled in the Georgia woods. They were searching for a different way to think about development. One of the most significant shifts came after the 2008 recession. As analysts studied which communities recovered first, they found that walkable, environmentally focused places were among those leading the recovery. Developers, architects, planners, elected officials, researchers, investors, conservationists, and community leaders began arriving in Serenbe not because it was a niche development, but because they believed the principles behind it might be applicable in communities across the country. We witnessed a similar pattern during and after the pandemic. As people spent more time at home, they began re-evaluating where they lived and how their surroundings influenced their physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. The built environment, long treated simply as a backdrop to everyday life, suddenly became part of the national conversation. Once again, interest in Serenbe accelerated as people searched for healthier, more resilient models for community development. Serenbe began as an effort to protect the countryside we loved from the encroaching sprawl surrounding Atlanta.We soon realized that preservation alone would never be enough.The real opportunity was to demonstrate a model of balanced growth, one that could accommodate new residents while protecting the landscape that made the place special. In other words, the principles emerging at Serenbe could be thoughtfully adapted in communities almost anywhere. Every landscape has its own ecology, every town its own history, every community its own culture. Over the years, our consulting work has taken us from the Western United States to

New England, and from Australia to Turkey. Those experiences have only reinforced what we discovered at Serenbe: while every place is unique, the principles behind great placemaking are remarkably adaptable. That’s ultimately why we created Nygren Placemaking. Rather than simply giving tours, we began working alongside people who wanted to rethink how communities are planned, built, and experienced. Some are starting with undeveloped land. Others are retrofitting existing neighborhoods, downtowns, resorts, campuses, or aging suburban developments. While every project looks different, the conversations often return to the same fundamental questions: How do you preserve more land while creating greater value? How do you make neighborhoods that encourage walking instead of driving? How do you build places that people genuinely want to spend time in? At Serenbe, those principles show up in tangible ways: protecting the majority of the land, designing neighborhoods around walking instead of parking, integrating regenerative agriculture, supporting local businesses, investing in the arts, conserving water and energy, and creating a mix of homes that bring together people in different stages of life. But those ideas don’t belong to Serenbe. They belong wherever people want to create healthier communities. I have long believed that the built environment has contributed to many of the physical, mental, environmental, and social challenges we face today. Yet I believe just as strongly that it can become one of our most powerful solutions. Economic success, environmental stewardship, and human well-being do not have to compete with one another. In the most successful communities, they reinforce each other. Serenbe was never meant to be a one-of-one experiment. It was meant to demonstrate what’s possible.
