Serenbe Residents Love These 6 Community Amenities

The award-winning community of Serenbe is focused on connecting its residents to the beautiful nature around the area. With plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, and even edible landscaping for residents to enjoy, here are six community amenities that residents in Serenbe love.

One community amenity to enjoy when you search for houses for sale in Serenbe is Grange Lake. This lake is surrounded by tall and encroaching trees and grass and provides a quaint waterside haven for members of Serenbe. Stroll through this extremely walkable community with friends or family to enjoy a day in or next to the freshwater lake.

This lake also has a dock that reaches out into the water, perfect for fishing the fully stocked waters or for jumping off to swim. This calm lake is perfect for a quick dip or for stand-up paddle boarding to better explore the nature views. Residents can also canoe this lake if they want to be in the water without getting wet.

 

Given this community’s natural stance, there are also several areas to enjoy outdoor activities. For a quick game of tennis or pickleball, there are courts next to the Selborne ball fields open for resident use. A natural tree barrier acts as a fence along the outermost side of each court. There are also two bocce courts for those living in Serenbe to enjoy, located next to the Mado Medicinal Gardens and the Grange Hillside townhomes.

For residents with families or children looking for Serenbe real estate, the wide-open space of Grange Green is a great place to play a game of freeze tag. For extra fun for the whole family, there are also horseshoes, a sandbox, and an in-ground trampoline. To enjoy the beautiful views or to strike up a conversation with community members, the gazebo has rocking chairs for people to sit on and relax.

 

For a private pool experience, the Serenbe Swim Club offers memberships to Serenbe residents only. This club is great for all types of swimmers, and there are plenty of swim facilities, beach chairs, and cabanas for members to use when sunbathing or exercising in the pools. There are also many adult and youth programs, as well as member activities to enjoy the space and make connections.

Those looking for houses for sale in Serenbe have access to a variety of water amenities. The four-lane lap pool is 24 meters long and heated, perfect for swimming at all times of the year. The main elliptical saltwater pool is 4.5 feet deep and good for enjoying the pool with others or for in-water exercises. For children, the kids' splash pool and the fountain wall are fun spaces to fill an afternoon.

Serenbe real estate is cut through by 16 miles of trails that residents and guests can use to get to the surrounding shops and homes. The community itself has over 700 acres of protected green space and is situated next to beautiful forests. People walking or running the trails can enjoy the views of the surrounding creeks, streams, waterfall, and grandfather trees. There are also old mill ruins that add to the rustic environment of the surrounding nature.

These trails are only open to the public during the biannual Serenbe Trail Race. This is a great way for residents and those interested in the area to get to know the unique dips and curves of the trails, as well as the surrounding greenery and the community layout.

For those who prioritize health and fitness, or are wanting to be more health conscious, the Gym and Indoor Cycling Studio is another amenity available to Serenbe residents.

The facility is fully stocked with the equipment needed to meet personal goals.

The cycling studio is equipped with Peloton bikes, perfect for finding a class that you’ll love, either live or on demand.

There are several high-end restaurants around Serenbe real estate that residents can visit for a great meal at all times of the day. The Farmhouse serves regional cuisine that sources its own garden for ingredients, as well as the Serenbe Farms and other local producers. Guests can enjoy a menu that changes monthly in the restaurant’s intimate summer dining room. Although a casual ambiance, you’d find the menu items at any fine dining establishment.

For the weekday lunch, guests can enjoy options like the New England lobster roll with wasabi coleslaw or the prime ribeye and frites with a mesclun salad. For dinner, guests can start a meal with a starter like a wagyu beef carpaccio before selecting a main entrée like the seared black grouper. Or residents can reserve a private, five-course dining experience for groups of five to eight.

The Farmhouse isn’t the only great restaurant to visit in Serenbe. For another locally sourced dining option, The Hill offers dinner, weekend brunch, and bar and patio seating. Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop (or the Daisy) is the spot to have breakfast or Sunday brunch.
