3,300 feet above it all
Simply put, The Sanctuary is a unique private mountain community positioned on the side of Mount Mitchell that is the perfect example of unrivaled natural beauty and living where you feel most alive in the acclaimed mountains of Western North Carolina. The Sanctuary blends architectural craftsmanship with the natural flow and beauty of mother nature to allow all inhabitants to relax and enjoy the rewards of daily life in a place above the clouds.
Where is the Sanctuary?
You’ll find The Sanctuary just one hour’s drive from downtown Asheville. Just two miles from the famed Blue ridge parkway, (Hwy 80 exit) you’ll discover a hidden gem over-looking the Mt. Mitchell Golf Course surrounded by the pristine South Toe River. There is a camaraderie and friendly spirit that emanates from this community that is very different from most other communities and clubs. From golf, kayaking, hiking, waterfalls, fly fishing and mineral mining activities (to name a few) to just relaxing in the peace and tranquility in a setting atop a mountain at over 3600 feet, life doesn’t get much better where the air is crisp and clean and the views are breath taking.
“Once you’ve seen and experienced the beauty of this mountainous region, your heart will bring your mind back time and time again in the quietest moments.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
“I just love living high above it all. It’s the closest place to heaven yet still living here on Earth. So nice to drive through that gate and enter shear bliss. Thank God for The Sanctuary!!!”
