You and The Great Smoky Mountains


If you've ever visited or lived in the mountains, you are familiar with the serene feeling of breathing in the pure clean air, hearing nature fill the trees all around you, and seeing nothing but the beautiful natural landscape for miles around.


Sanctuary Village in Franklin, NC is more than just a neighborhood; it's a lifestyle that combines all the benefits of living in the mountains with modern amenities and a tight-knit community. It's the forever home you've dreamed about but haven't found...until now.



Read on to find out more of what life in The Great Smoky Mountains has to offer and how Sanctuary Village gets you closer to all of it!


Our homes (Mountain Cottages, Townhomes, Village Homes with garages) in Sanctuary Village will be built to reflect the historic architecture of the region and provide open concept spaces for modern living. With spacious front porches and easy access to the community parks and surrounding nature trails. This picturesque neighborhood offers in-town living but with the peace and quiet of a mountain getaway. It's not the sort of place you simply "see" - it's something you must "feel".

This little town is on the rise. It's never going to be a giant metropolis; there will always be a small-town charm that nothing can take from this historic city, but that hasn't stopped it from attracting national and international names to the area. Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, and Aldi are just a few.
