Living in Harmony with nature, community & family
Karmel Moosavi and Stephanie Charvin discovered they were kindred souls when they met in South America. They both loved nature, community, family, and the sense of harmony felt when all are connected.
After they married and moved to the United States, they lived in different communities for several years until 2024, when they discovered their dream home in the countryside of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. When selecting a barn quilt for their property, they chose a Mandala pattern for its circular design, which symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and the idea that everything is connected. |
Discovering good vibes . . . in Chatt Hills
|

|
Karmel & Stephanie first discovered Chattahoochee Hills while living in Milton -- a once rural, now urban town in metro Atlanta, Georgia. The couple would venture down to Chatt Hills on weekends to enjoy its beautiful Cochran Mill Park, where Karmel enjoyed mountain bike riding, while Stephanie hiked the wooded trails with their dog Leah.
When a friend learned of Stephanie's interest in organic gardening, she suggested they visit the organic farm in Serenbe, a quaint hamlet in Chatt Hills. The couple spent a day touring Serenbe and discovered they loved so much about this community -- its focus on the environment, its friendly neighbors and sense of community, and its attachment to nature -- they began to wonder if a home in Chatt Hills might be in their future.
They decided to venture out to the countryside to look for a home with acreage. They dreamed of finding a property with space enough for gardening, permaculture, raising animals, and starting their family. While they couldn't quite visualize what that might look like, their dream became crystal clear when they discovered a home on 10 acres, nestled in the woods off a gravel road. The good vibe was instantaneous, and the couple knew they had found their new home.
Since moving to their Chatt Hills home in July 2024, Karmel & Stephanie have experienced much joy making connections to nature, community, and family. They planted an orchard and learned more about organic gardening from the nearby Rodale Institute Southeast Organic Center; they met their neighbors and began to share common interests of music, beekeeping, and gardening; they reached out to the Bear Creek Nature Center and are looking forward to volunteering there; and most important of all, they have experienced the joy of starting their family with their infant son Matin.
After moving and living in different places, this happy family has finally found the place they call home.

Heritage story . . . The Sewell Family's Dream Home
|
The house that Karmel & Stephanie now own was built by the Sewell family.
Rickey & Beth Sewell had owned over 30 acres of undeveloped land on Whiteside Rd with the hope of someday building their dream home and having acreage where their kids could hunt and enjoy the countryside. The couple built their dream home in 2004 and enjoyed living their country dream for 10 years. When the recession hit, they sold their home but kept 23 acres, which their family still visits today for hunting and fishing. |
The Sewell Family built their dream home in 2004, which has since shared its good vibes with three different families.
