In 1994, he and his wife Marie retired to a farm outside Atlanta, with their three daughters. Six years later, he became concerned about urban sprawl invading their adopted country paradise and in 2000 led the effort to create the Chattahoochee Hill Country Alliance to bring together landowners, developers, and conservationists to find a mutually agreed upon solution for balanced growth. Through two years, a land use plan was adopted to preserve 70% of the 40,000 acres on the edge of Atlanta while providing 20% more housing that traditional suburban sprawl yield. In 2004, the Nygren’s began the development of Serenbe interlacing agriculture with a range of housing choices mixed with shops, galleries, restaurants and a full-service Inn. The result is reminiscent of century-old communities where many of your needs are within a walkable distance and neighbors know each other. Today, Steve serves as the CEO of Serenbe and lives in the community full-time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6f9dafae61707495746f18/1618075001223-BBG3ROU0ZCNUD5EGIF9V/1P6A9228.jpg Who We Are - Garnie Nygren Garnie Nygren is the eldest daughter of Serenbe founders Steve and Marie Nygren. In 2005, Garnie graduated from Cornell University’s Hotel School and returned home to see what her father was up to in the woods. She then landed a fellowship at the Georgia Governor’s office focusing on environmental, economic, and transportation policy but spent her weekends at the real estate office down at Serenbe. Her fellowship ended that same year, and by January 2006, she opened Serenbe Real Estate. Garnie is now Director of Operations for Serenbe and co-owner of cold-press Bamboo Juices and retail boutique Resource, both located in Serenbe. She has previously served on multiple boards, including IGEL (Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership), Cornell Hotel Society and Wholesome Wave Georgia. She also served on Woodward Academy’s Alumni Association Board of Directors for several years as Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President.
