The Preserve at Fieldstone
Luxurious Living Inside Out

One of the great things about the temperate South is that the outdoors can be enjoyed year round. Even the harshest of winters in Atlanta would be considered more than mild in many other corners of the country. Now, the Preserve at Fieldstone, the premiere neighborhood within the master-planned community of Fieldstone, takes advantage of the ideal metro-Atlanta climatic conditions by turning luxurious living inside out.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Forsyth County, the Preserve offers a variety of classically inspired architectural styles and innovative floor plans for their custom-built homes. However, the Preserve has created a housing niche of its own by beautifully blending each home's indoor and outdoor living spaces, therefore creating the perfect environment in which owners can relax, play or entertain.

Homebuyers have several custom-designed outdoor living options available to choose from when planning their home. These options provide a sophisticated breath of fresh air to the design of the Preserve homes:

Covered sun decks with fireplaces.
Summer kitchens with built-in barbeques and dining arbors providing the perfect setting for dinner parties.
Sunrooms, pavilions and screened porches with fireplaces made for relaxing and enjoying time with the family.
Waterfall patios to make any gathering more romantic.
Gazebo gardens-ideal spots for anything from a tea party to a breakfast nook.

To add recreation upon relaxation, The Fieldstone Club provides ample resort-style amenities to the community. The clubhouse spans 6,000 sq. ft. and features a large, country porch, covered deck, fitness center, catering kitchen and a gathering room. To cool off when the mercury rises, the swim center provides plenty of family fun with a lap pool, adult pool, a zero-entry pool, a two-story water slide with pool and a kiddie pool.

The screened porches are ideal for spending time with the family.

Twelve lighted, Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association-approved tennis courts, complete with spectator seating, are sure to woo those working on their backhand, and the sports court offers an exciting setting in which to enjoy a game of basketball or beach volleyball. The jogging trails, fully equipped children's playground, and three-acre Fieldstone Lake round out the resort-like experience.

When completed, the Preserve community will feature an estimated 240 custom-designed homes priced from the high $400,000s to the $800,000s. Jim Cowart Residential, LLC, known for their award-winning custom homes, developed the Preserve with the goal of creating a community where people can enjoy living and raising families.

"There is nothing quite as personal or unique as a family's home," said John Schiavone, president and manager of Jim Cowart Residential, LLC. "That's why every home at Preserve at Fieldstone is designed to match the way you live, the way you play and the way you relax."

One could say that at Preserve, the proof is in the pudding. In fact, three out of the first seven homes were sold to sales agents, realtors knowledgeable of Atlanta's real estate offerings. "We purchased a home at the Preserve because of the tremendous amenities offered for all members of my family," says Leslie Ewers, a Preserve purchaser and Coldwell Banker Realtor.

Located a few miles west of GA 400, the Preserve lies within the Sawnee Elementary, Vickery Creek Middle and Forsyth Central High school districts, and private schools in Forysth County include Covenant Christian Academy, Horizon Christian Academy and Ivy League Montessori School among others.
