New Home Community Sanctuaire Takes Shape in Downtown Canton

The first homes at Sanctuaire are nearing completion, with one home nearly finished and five more under construction in downtown Canton, Ga. Phase One will include 14 single-family homes along Railroad and Academy Streets, and Phase Two will consist of 124 single-family homes and townhomes. Sanctuaire is under development by Folia Group, one of the region’s leading homebuilders, and marketed exclusively by Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta with Chad Davis as the sales manager. www.livesanctuaire.com, www.ChadDavis.evrealestate.com

“We are creating a thriving community that delivers a uniquely curated and vibrant lifestyle here at Sanctuaire,” said Rob Beecham, CEO of Folia Group. “All of our homes are built with a unique steel and wood construction design, offering the highest level of strength and durability. We also believe every home should delight the homebuyer with bespoke high-end design features and finishes. Through our Folia Signature Home Program, each home at Sanctuaire will include carefully-selected features that are too special to mass produce. Examples could include a specific design theme, antique door, unique wall treatments, and more. From the moment you enter the community, you’ll get a sense that you’re in a special place, from how we are developing the land to the smallest feature of your designer home.”

Sanctuaire has been designed to take full advantage of Canton’s beautiful riverfront views and parks, as well as proximity to the small town’s charming restaurants and shops. Canton offers easy access to Atlanta and the north Georgia mountains. The Etowah River runs through town, providing beautiful vistas and recreational opportunities literally right outside the front doors of those who live there.

An additional advantage of living at Sanctuaire is a property-enhancing tax structure, thanks to the Tax Allocation District (TAD) created by the Canton City Council. Within the district – which includes Sanctuaire – new property tax revenues above a set rate are allocated to redeveloping the area. This means Sanctuaire residents will play a key role in the continued enhancements to the greater community, including roads and greenspaces.

Homes at Sanctuaire will range from three-story, four-bedroom, four and a half-bath single family homes to one-level, two-bedroom, two and a half-bath cottages, with several sizes and styles in between. All feature an architecturally-driven exterior with the highest quality interior finishes, and most include garages. Within the gated community, residents will enjoy multiple amenities, including the use of a guest house for overnight visitors.

“The range of size and style in these thoughtfully-designed homes makes Sanctuaire perfect for families and adults at various stages of life, including young professionals,” said Davis. “The onsite amenities for residents and their guests add to the appeal. They include co-working business space, a fitness center, special event space with a catering kitchen, guest facilities, hot tub, steam room, massage room, car wash, dog wash, fire pits and pocket parks throughout the property. With concierge services available and outdoor landscaping provided, Sanctuaire offers a true lock-and-leave lifestyle.”
