Tellus Group closed on 970 acres for Sherley Farms, a master-planned community in Anna. The $1.5 billion development is set to be designed around holistic wellness, sustainability and community connection.

“We are future-proofing this community with a holistic view of wellness, social connectivity and a deep respect for the land,” Craig Martin, CEO and founding partner of Tellus Group, said in a press release. “Sherley Farms not only reflects our commitment to innovative and meaningful design, but also aligns seamlessly with Anna’s vision for thoughtful growth and vibrant community living.”

The 3,000-home community will include a 65-acre working farm and extensive trail systems and green spaces.

“With over 150 acres of open space, miles of trails and a direct connection to Geer Park and downtown Anna, this development blends outdoor recreation, community gathering spaces and convenient access to our city’s core,” said Anna City Manager Ryan Henderson. “It is a forward-thinking development designed for today and tomorrow.”

Developers and builders are expected to break ground this summer.
