Heartwood is a community taking shape in the North Georgia countryside: twenty-four homes, built around longevity, restoration, and a life lived close to the land.
Join the Waiting ListA few years ago we left the suburbs for a more rural life, chasing the things that actually make us well: clean air and water, natural light, quiet, real materials, and plants, flowers, and animals within eyesight and earshot. We built those into our own home, and into Santerra, the wellness destination we're designing in Arizona.
Along the way we realized something simple: many of us don't just want this on vacation. We want to live in it. Heartwood is our answer: a small community of homes designed so that wellness isn't somewhere you go, but where you live.
And we're not alone. The Wall Street Journal reports that boomers (who hold some $110 trillion in wealth) are upsizing into homes built for family, health, and aging well, not downsizing. The Global Wellness Institute puts global wellness real estate at $876 billion in 2025, and sees reason to believe homes built this way carry a premium, though that estimate rests on only a handful of developments so far. The world is catching up to what your body has known all along.
Single-story homes in reclaimed barnwood and stone, under black standing-seam roofs. Walls of glass and window-wall doors open wide to a private pool and courtyard, blurring the line between indoors and out. Natural materials, daylight, and clean air in every room. Luxury that feels like the country, not a showroom.
Walk or ride the perimeter trail through peach orchards and hardwood woods. Spring-fed ponds, gentle hills, and miles of quiet path. The land is yours to roam in every season.
Shared tables and firepits at sunset. Pickleball, gardens, and a clubhouse at the center of it all. There's always something to do, and always someone to do it with.
Heartwood homes are shaped by biophilic design: natural materials, daylight, fresh air, and a constant connection to the land. Wellness isn't an amenity here. It's built into the walls, in three layers.
The healthy-home baseline
Fresh, filtered air and clean water. Circadian lighting that follows the sun. Non-toxic, low-VOC materials throughout: the invisible systems that keep you well without ever thinking about them.
Built to help you recover
Sauna and cold plunge. Deeper sleep by design. Red-light recovery and room to move, so your body repairs a little more every single day.
Calm for the nervous system
Natural, biophilic materials and true indoor-outdoor flow. A quiet room to think, a fire to gather around, greenery and light at every turn: spaces that settle you the moment you step inside.
We're building Heartwood a few homes at a time and sharing it with a small group first. Add your name for early updates, first looks, and priority as homes become available.
