I've been a Serenbe Real Estate agent since 2005, and a Selborne resident since 2006, where I live with my husband, daughter, two sons, dogs, and cats. I enjoys yoga, golf cart rides with her kids, and being in my favorite spot: anywhere on the trails.

To save their back yard, they built a town

Serenbe is a built community founded by Garnie Nygren and her father after witnessing clear-cutting near their farmhouse, transforming 1,000 acres into a walkable, European-inspired town that honors people, nature, art, and beauty. The project demonstrates how personal environmental concerns can spark large-scale positive development that preserves land while creating sustainable, community-focused living spaces.
