Like much of the Southeast, we’re starting 2010 in the North Carolina Mountains peeking out from under down comforters and polar fleece. It’s been cold. Record cold, in fact!

It’s the kind of weather that brings to mind stories of “cabin fever,” a malady brought on by winter isolation and made worse depending on your distance from the nearest neighbors. In the old days, it could be life threatening. Now it’s just depressing when you find yourself cut off from friends and deprived of the pleasures of community because of the weather.

Sanctuary Village

Sanctuary Village is a new Traditional Neighborhood Development in the mountains of North Carolina. First-phase construction has begun on what will be a walkable, mixed-use community five blocks from Franklin's historic Main Street. This will be a neighborhood of porches, parks, and walking paths -- all within easy strolls to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in downtown Franklin. There's an architect-designed housing option for everyone, whether it's a moderately sized single-family home with a garage apartment or a cozy cottage or a mansion flat in a building served by an elevator. All this with low maintenance costs and high energy efficiency.
