An hour outside Chicago, one luxury development is taking sustainable living to a whole new level.

Living green in the country just got a lot more luxurious: An hour northwest of downtown Chicago, a new sustainable community is taking shape for city dwellers longing for an eco-conscious lifestyle in a less urban setting. Opening this spring, Serosun Farms is an environmentally focused community in Hampshire, where 114 deluxe, high-performance, energy-efficient homes on one-acre-plus lots will be scattered across a 410-acre spread. The homes will be built around horse trails, an equestrian center, an organic vegetable farm, prairie, wetlands, a grove of 100-year-old oak trees, and more. A concept new to Chicago, high-end green communities amid nature should appeal to urbanites who want to live in deluxe eco-friendly homes while surrounded by more greenery than just a city park.  See full article:
