Litchfield is a residential community with sizable homes in a quiet, woodsy area
Litchfield's sprawling custom homes and large landscaped lots are, arguably, the neighborhood's biggest draws. But for residents like Rachel Poore, who sells homes with Keller Williams Atlanta Perimeter and has lived in Litchfield for more than 20 years, there's another layer to the neighborhood's charm. "We've had professional football players and celebrities in here, but everyone still treats everyone the same," Poore says. "Not only do people respect people's privacy, but everyone is so laid-back and welcoming." Neighborhood events and clubhouse amenities often get residents together. "There are plenty of activities, so you can be as social as you want or as private as you want," she says. The community's natural setting helps it stand out. "People say it's like a national park when you drive in," Poore says. "It evolves as you drive through, transforming into something really natural."
Large front yards are common in all homes in Litchfield.

Custom homes on woodsy lots with staycation-worthy backyards
No house looks the same in Litchfield. "They are true custom homes, built timelessly," Poore says. Houses measure anywhere from 4,000 to over 10,000 square feet, and most have at least five bedrooms. The community's oldest homes date to the early 1980s, when Poore's was built, but hundreds popped up in the '90s and early 2000s. Multi-acre lots are private, heavily wooded and often adorned with resort-style amenities. "There are some homes I've sold where the backyard is jaw-dropping," she says. Some homes have saltwater pools, hot tubs and stone-lined trails that meet quiet backyard creeks. Gated subdivisions include The Overlook at Litchfield and Lakeside at Ansley. Homes list from $730,000 to $2.5 million, and homes in a gated community tend to list above $1.2 million. An HOA serves most homes in the community.

Resort-style amenities and nearby golf courses
Residents can access various recreational amenities through monthly HOA fees. The Overlook/Litchfield Club is members-only and features tennis courts, a seasonal pool and a playground. The facility and its amenities are behind a gate. The community has a few additional clubhouses with tennis courts and pools, like the one right behind the gates at Lakeside at Ansley. Folks also enjoy golf. "We're a golf cart community," Poore says. Ansley Golf Club's Settindown Course sprawls across 18 holes and was ranked the 10th best in Georgia by Golf Digest for 2019 and 2020. Golfers also enjoy the course at the Brookfield Country Club. Both country clubs require membership. A hidden nature preserve is along Lackey Road. "It was waterfalls and trails," Poore says. "A lot of people don't know it's there."
