SIMPLY PUT, NOTHING ELSE COMPARES TO HARTNESS
Where else can you find a family legacy of 467 pristine acres — 180 acres dedicated to a protected nature preserve — where every square inch is devoted to providing an extraordinary way of living?
Here in Greenville, SC, one of the nation’s most desirable cities, Hartness offers a sanctuary of peace, a celebration of nature, and a community of sharing — generations at work and play.
COME, SHARE THE VISION.
AT ITS HEART IS FAMILY
For three generations, the Hartness family has welcomed friends to enjoy their family homestead. They have long envisioned transforming it into a new community worthy of a legacy — theirs and yours.
Built to last for future generations, with an authenticity that will ring true through every era, they placed special emphasis on embracing the park-like feeling of this land. The forests, lakes, streams, and meadows have been carefully curated by the family year after year — truly a labor of love.
The result is a vibrant village, thoughtfully created in the traditional neighborhood design. Neighbors share more than an address; they share a life. And all paths lead to friendships.
The Hartness family is proud to share their home with you.
A TAPESTRY OF DIVERSE PLEASURES
Let’s take a stroll. The pathways, green spaces, trails, and gathering places weave together to create a tapestry of pleasures suited for a diverse community of ages and interests. It’s never long before you come across something to explore or someone you’d like to get to know better. Estate homes live side by side with charming cottages — all within steps of the daily conveniences of the Hartness Village Center.
Enjoy a morning walk with friends to share coffee at a café. Pick up your dry cleaning in your golf cart. Send the kids off on their bikes to get ice cream. Walk home after dinner at a rooftop restaurant. Small but priceless experiences are the joys of the Hartness Village concept.
Master-planned to celebrate the very best of the past, present, and future, Hartness is unique in its livability, longevity, and appeal.

MEET THE DESIGNER
One of the Southeast’s most recognizable community designers, Lew Oliver and his team are driven by the idea that great spaces can be designed and curated — places that nurture the human spirit and are in harmony with nature. Lew’s vision for Hartness returns to the tenants of traditional neighborhood development where generations connect and thrive.
Hartness will embody the ideal hamlet – classic architecture, great urbanism, a pedestrian network that is celebrated over that of cars – inserted next to a mature nature preserve. This will form one of the next great neighborhoods in the South, providing a nurturing community for all who inhabit it.
– Lew Oliver, Town DesignerEVERYDAY PLEASURES
Each day celebrates something new to explore and enjoy. Beyond the recreational amenities of tennis, walking/hiking trails, kayaking, fishing, the innovative Hartness Sports Garden, and playing on the Grand Lawn, the planned community clubhouse and pool will feature yet another social hub to relax, pursue fitness, and enjoy friends.
