certification—the first neighborhood in Wisconsin to provide standardized and certified 5 star ratings for every home—maintaining your comfort through the years and investment value for the future.Supplemental Solar water and other optional energy saving systems are available.
GREEN BUILT
We have planned, and will be managing the village in environmentally friendly ways—such as to incorporate beautiful and extensive landscaping to the site to minimize mowing, utilizing drainage systems that filter storm water responsibly, and minimizing environmental pollutants such as pesticides and herbicides. Each home will also be outfitted with smart irrigation systems such as drip irrigation which minimizes water usage.
Each home in Savannah Village will meet the highest standards of the Focus on Energy ENERGY STAR™ program. We also participate in the Wisconsin Green Built program, again easily hitting the minimum requirements—and we expect most homes will generally be certified at higher levels. It isn’t impossible, difficult, or too cost prohibitive to do so—and our goal at Savannah Village is to be the leader in the area when it comes to Green Built homes.
- Construction practices that minimize waste are key to green building and we are following them.
- Exteriors are all quality grade materials, no vinyl siding allowed
- Not just allowing, but planning within each building the necessary hookup to add renewable energy sources at a later date.
- A commitment to using thoughtful and flexible designs which prevent waste, and the type of materials we use are comparatively less toxic in production, during use, and as they age, to the environment.
HOME DESIGN
Unlike many planned communities, we offer the homeowner the ability to live in a truly unique home, inside and out. We have already designed three main footprints (with various options to modify) which will help you accurately understand the pricing and options available, taking the risk out of "building custom".
However, though only 30 families will be able to call Savannah Village home, you have the ability to shrink the overall home size, expand the garage size, shrink or increase porch sizes, choose a single family home, or one of our premium town homes. You are only limited by the overall footprint size established, and we will explore with you what we can do to have the home you love and what fits your financial priorities.
The design is based on utilizing passive solar benefits, as well as the proper roof pitch to accommodate renewable energy sources such as solar panels or solar water heating. The plan in its basic design is extremely flexible for customization, and customized features can be planned and easily priced specifically for you with a signed reservation of your unit location.
The basic plan feels large with a central great room vaulted area, and standard 9 Wall heights on the main floor, and the optional finished basement with daylight egress windows in an 8’ wall height. The great room area is flexible for use in larger gatherings, and also for daily living.
YOUR HOMES STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
Working with the State of Wisconsin’s ENERGY STAR™ professionals, and with our own expert and experienced builder team, we are accessing data relating to thousands of homes and their structures, to best determine the BEST way to build a superior energy efficient home. From structural systems, to material selection, we will be documenting and confidently building homes of the best quality, best construction practices, utilizing the best solutions for comfort, health, green sensibility, balanced with cost effectiveness.

LANDSCAPING
As per the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), private gardens, enclosed and maintained by the homeowner or their privately contracted gardener are allowed. All other areas are beautifully maintained by the association. We also have the opportunity to develop over time a beautiful garden park around our own pond, which we will maintain and develop as an association during the building process for the neighborhood.All homes will have:
- In ground and unit controlled sprinkler systems
- A quality level of minimum of landscaping, and the opportunity to have an attached fenced in area for private gardening and outdoor enjoyment.
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
The Savannah Village Neighborhood Association will manage the common ground maintenance & development, irrigation maintenance, as well as plowing for those snowier winters. The association will collectively award contracts to service providers to insure our desired level of results and reasonable costs. Individual owners will maintain their own homes to the desired level set forth in the Restrictive Covenants. Included in your quarterly fee:
