Our growth has not gone unnoticed!

We’re excited to share that Sanctuary Village was recently featured in The Franklin Press! The article, written by Mia Overton, beautifully captures the heart of our vision — a neighborhood built on connection, community, and respect for nature.

In the feature, owner-developer Tim Ryan reflects on the dream that started nearly two decades ago: “We are creating a community that has a sense of place. I’m the developer, but I’m not a developer — I’m doing this out of the love that I have for architecture, design, and community building.”

The story highlights how Tim and his wife, Iva, discovered the property in Franklin, fell in love with the town’s charm, and set out to create a neighborhood that feels both timeless and welcoming.

Today, that dream is taking shape with eight completed homes, 32 ready-to-build homesites, and a master plan that preserves almost 40% of the land as green space. Sanctuary Village offers parks, trails, a community fire pit, and tree-lined streets — all designed to bring neighbors together.

As Tim shared, “Even with just eight homes, we already have community taking place.”

If you’ve been dreaming of living in the mountains while staying connected to a welcoming community, we invite you to come explore Sanctuary Village. Stroll through our tree-lined streets, enjoy the outdoor spaces, and discover the homesites where you can build a home that fits your lifestyle.
