About The Sanctuary

A nature preserve community on Lake Wylie

A one-of-a-kind lakefront neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, just fourteen miles from Uptown.

The best of both worlds

Quiet lake living, minutes from the city

Life at The Sanctuary feels a world away, yet Uptown Charlotte's dining, shopping, professional sports and cultural venues are only a short drive from the neighborhood.

Frequent travelers appreciate being close to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, too, so getting home to the woods and the water never takes long.

Activities

An escape from the everyday

Across 1,350 acres, residents enjoy about 22 miles of private trails, roughly 300 acres of common open space and outdoor activities for every age.

The waterfront amenity area is the heart of it all, home to the swimming pools, tennis courts, picnic areas, community events and a boating center stocked with canoes and kayaks.

Community

Fewer than 200 preserves, one neighborhood

With fewer than 200 private preserves, The Sanctuary has the feel of a small, close-knit community. Family-friendly events and activities throughout the year make it easy to get to know the neighbors.
