St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School (SAS) has finalized the sale of a 63-acre parcel of land to Sewanee Mountain Partners, LLC. The property, located across from St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, will be developed into a thoughtfully designed residential community aimed at alleviating the area’s housing shortage.

The new development will include walking paths, natural water features, and greenspaces, providing residents with opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the space that backs up to the Mountain Goat Trail.

“The availability of housing on the Mountain, and especially near SAS and the university, is increasingly limited. The development of this land will increase the supply of housing, both large and small options, for a wide range of potential homeowners,” said Karl Sjolund, Head of School at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee. “We received a great offer from a development group that loves Sewanee and has committed to building a development worthy of the ‘front door’ of both SAS and the University”.

Sewanee Mountain Partners, LLC, has expressed a commitment to integrating the new neighborhood into the fabric of Sewanee, ensuring that the design reflects the character and environmental priorities of the region. The inclusion of greenspaces and walking paths underscores their vision for a vibrant, connected community.

“The housing demand in Sewanee continues to rise, and we are excited to bring a development that not only meets this need but also enhances the natural landscape,” said Richard Courtney, a representative of Sewanee Mountain Partners, LLC and a graduate of the university. “We look forward to working closely with the community as we move forward with this project.”

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School remains dedicated to its mission of fostering a strong sense of place while supporting the needs of the greater Sewanee area. The school will continue to invest in its students, faculty, and campus with proceeds from the sale.
