Fall, 2008

Like me, you must be thankful that the October madness in the markets and now the elections are behind us! Here in Franklin, fall and all of its glory is in its peak. The weather and colors are perfect and while our highs are now in the low 70’s, last week we even had some snow. I have never seen such a beautiful contrast of colors!... (+)

Traditional Neighborhood and Secluded Gated Developments in the mountains of Western North Carolina

The Sanctuary Village -A Traditional Neighborhood Development in the Mountains


The 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. Learn more about Traditional Neighborhood Development at The Sanctuary Village...

The Sanctuary at Mountain Grove -Secluded Lots in a Gated Community in the Mountains


The Sanctuary at Mountain Grove offers secluded lots in a gated community in the mountains of western North Carolina. Each site provides spectacular long-range views. It's the perfect private mountain retreat, yet it's conveniently accessible via a newly widened and paved road that connects the historic towns of Franklin and Sylva. A 20-minute drive through rolling farmland puts you in either town for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Build according to your own plan, and own a mountain hideaway that will provide family memories for generations.

The Sanctuary Communities
Our Vision

By Tim Ryan
When Iva and I moved our family from South Florida to Macon County in 2003, we looked upon our new home as a refuge, a sanctuary, from the stress-inducing atmosphere of so many of America’s metropolitan areas. But it wasn’t escape that drew us. It was the opportunity for a different kind of engagement – engagement with the natural setting, with the traditions of an historic community, with other citizens who prefer small town mountain life to the annoyances of too many hours spent in cars and in places too soulless to be called real communities.
