70% of Homesites Already Purchased at Sanctuaire Farms Near Ball Ground

BALL GROUND, GA – Property sales at Sanctuaire Farms are exceeding expectations, according to Rob Beecham, CEO of developer Folia Group, as families are drawn to Sanctuaire Farms’ curated lifestyle, amenities and home design opportunities. The 461-acre master-planned farmstead community is located in north Georgia’s Cherokee County near Ball Ground and offers lots of 5-20+ acres as well as a number of farm and garden amenities. www.sanctuairefarms.com

To date, 70 percent of the homesites have been purchased with families already working with Sanctuaire Farms’ architect, J. Steven Kemp, and others to design homes that are integrated with the natural landscape and offer easy access to a community garden, greenhouse and orchard. Residents will have access to resources for raising livestock and gardening, as well the opportunity to enjoy subscriptions for beef, pork, poultry, dairy and vegetables.

Here’s what three new property owners have to say about Sanctuaire Farms:

“Sanctuaire Farms represents the future we believe in, where regenerative farming, wellness, and intentional design come together. We were drawn to the land not only for the opportunity to raise horses and live more connected to the earth, but also because it reflects our Christian faith — stewarding God’s creation with purpose, gratitude, and care. Sanctuaire Farms is a place where our family and future generations can live out our values every day.” Melanie and Zolton Torteli

“We are better people outside. The kids fight less, we feel recharged versus tired, and life generally is better. Didn’t we start out in a garden after all? Maybe that’s why garden-grown food leads to more shared meals and time together. We wanted to transform this peace and togetherness from moments and memories into a way of life. However, making a change or doing something new can be intimidating. With the Sanctuarie community, we knew we wouldn’t be living and learning this lifestyle on our own. Having someone to ask for help if you are stuck on something or traveling makes all the difference. This is what makes Sanctuarie different than other homestead opportunities and why we went under contract with a beautiful, creekside lot.” Corey and Darryl Smith

“Our prayers were answered. After spending a couple of years looking for a homestead style development in north Georgia, we’d all but given up. It wasn’t until we spoke with Rob and Jen Beecham that we knew this community was exactly what we’d been hoping and looking for -- thank God! We’ve met several of the future home owners and become more excited every day as we get closer to breaking ground on our dream home. We cannot wait to get our garden planted, our chickens housed and the homestead life started. This community will be generational for our family as well as a place of comfort, love, and sense of coming home.” Bill and Tina Bruning

Sanctuaire Farms was conceived out of the Beecham family’s desire for a simpler, family and community-centric lifestyle with less traffic, noise and stress. The centerpiece of Sanctuaire is The Grange Community Farm. Here, residents will enjoy a community garden, greenhouse and orchard, a well as educational resources for gardening, farming and raising livestock. Subscriptions for beef, pork, poultry, dairy and vegetables will be managed here. The Grange will also be the site for numerous gatherings and celebrations such as farm to table dinners, cookouts, special occasions and more.

“Property owners may choose to build their own barns and additional structures for livestock, beekeeping, woodworking, gardening, or other pursuits. They may also choose to enjoy these activities at The Grange, which has been designed as the social hub of Sanctuaire,” said Realtor® Chad Davis of Shirley Gary Group/Ansley Real Estate. “There is a core group of exceptional builders who are already working at Sanctuaire, giving residents a number of options for constructing their homes and auxiliary structures.”

“We are offering an upscale, multi-generation farm lifestyle with the finest amenities,” said Beecham. “Families who join us here will benefit from fresh air, fresh produce, re-connection with nature and a supportive community. Residents can choose to be as hands-on as they wish with their own gardens and livestock, or they can simply enjoy the bounty of the community garden and interact with Sanctuaire Farms’ horses, cows, pigs and other livestock.”

The community is just 3.5 miles from downtown Ball Ground, Ga. in Cherokee County, and an easy drive to Atlanta, Chattanooga, and the numerous recreational opportunities in and around the north Georgia mountains.
