The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary, a 1,300-acre community off Shopton Road West on
the shores of Lake Wylie, is one of the most unique developments
in the region. Referring to each of its homesites as “preserves,”
the Sanctuary’s sites range from two to more than 13 acres, averaging
about five acres. The community features 20 miles of nature trails,
200 acres of natural areas and "The Camp", a lakefront
community center with swimming pools, tennis courts, a fitness
center, kids’ room, playground, picnic areas and a boating center.
Only twenty percent of the land in this community will be developed.
Twenty million-dollar homes are part of the development; homesites
range from $300,000 to $2 million.
