Serenbe: A Pioneering Community Model Connected to Nature with Steve Nygren

Regenerative Real Estate Podcast
Written By Neal Collins (he/him)

Many people dream of creating a new kind of community. One that is both sustainable and beautiful. A place where they can raise their kids, connect with neighbors, yet still rejuvenate in nature. Most of these dreams remain just that.

On this episode Steven Nygren, the visionary and developer, shares his story about creating the community of his dreams. A place outside of Atlanta called Serenbe.

There are not many people in the world like Steve. His creation is truly a feat that many would deem too large to even attempt. From rural hamlets run on geothermal energy, to world-class schools, integrated farms and edible landscapes, by the time you finish listening you'll be ready to see it for yourself.
