Healthy House of Georgia announces Pendergrast Farm, a unique conservation community located near Emory University in Decatur. Setting a new standard for sustainable living within Atlanta’s Perimeter, Pendergrast Farm combines nature preservation, energy-efficient homes, a working farm and urban convenience.

Pendergrast Farm offers 20 energy-efficient, healthy homes priced from $1.2 million.
“All of the homes are solar-panel ready and wired for EV charging stations,” continues McConnell. “The model home has a HERS rating of 50, which means that it uses 50% less energy than a comparable new home built to current building codes and 80% less than the average resale home of the same size.”
The homes are situated within a beautifully landscaped setting that prioritizes conservation and ecological stewardship. Designed to focus on the natural environment, 70% of the community has been preserved, including 5.5 acres of woods and a 1-acre organic working farm run by a professional, full-time farmer, who will live on site.
