Wellness-focused community in Anna
moves into construction phase
Anna, TX (March 25, 2026) — Tellus Group announced today the groundbreaking of Sherley Farms, a $1.5 billion master-planned community located just five minutes from Highway 75 near downtown Anna, Texas and introduced its initial builder lineup. Designed as North Texas’ first wellness-focused community centered around a working farm, Sherley Farms will bring together approximately 3,000 homes, organic produce, open space, unique amenities and walkable, community-centered design across more than 970 acres.
“Sherley Farms reflects our belief that the future of community development is rooted in wellness, connection and a deep respect for the land,” said Craig Martin, chief executive officer and founding partner of Tellus Group. “We are designing this community with intention, where access to nature, walkability and fresh food are part of daily life. This is about creating a place that supports how people want to live today and for generations to come.”
Sherley Farms will feature a curated group of builders offering homes in the first phase on 45- to 70-foot lots, bringing a diverse residential mix and consistent architectural quality. Builders in the initial phase include Bloomfield Homes, DRB Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, Homebound, Olivia Clarke Homes and Perry Homes. Estate lots are planned for future phases.
“We wanted to create a community that functions differently,” said Andre Ferrari, chief operating officer of Tellus Group. “The farm, the trails and the walkable spaces are the framework that changes how people experience the neighborhood day to day and creates long-term value for residents and the city.”
The first phase will feature the first amenity center (including a resort-style pool), the initial section of the Central Green that will ultimately connect the entire community through ample green space and the initial phase of the 65-acre organic working farm.
On the northern side of the community, the working farm will serve as both an agricultural anchor and gathering place, offering fresh produce, educational programming and community events. The plan also includes more than 150 acres of open space, a trail system connecting to downtown Anna and Geer Park and walkable neighborhood retail designed to support daily life.
“Sherley Farms is a meaningful investment in Anna’s future, expanding our tax base, attracting new residents and driving long-term economic growth,” said Kevin Toten, Anna Mayor Pro Tem. “This project will generate new economic activity, support local businesses and strengthen Anna’s position as a destination for high-quality development in North Texas.”
Infrastructure improvements are underway with mass grading complete and amenity development ramping up this fall. Lots are projected to be delivered in late 2026 with first model homes available Spring 2027.
As master developer of the $3 billion Windsong Ranch in Prosper, Tellus has a long history of creating significant value for both its residents and homebuilder partners by engineering and executing cohesively designed communities enhanced by unique amenity offerings and abundant lifestyle programming. Tellus is also developing Mosaic in Celina, TX, Mirabella in Prosper, TX and Meraki in Forney, TX.
