Reopening as Private Residence

The Sanctuary has been closed to the public since November 2023 due to new code regulations, and it has remained inaccessible since Hurricane Helene in September 2024, when our road and bridge were washed out. Once the road and bridge are fully restored, we will reopen The Sanctuary as a private residence, welcoming friends and family. For updates or more information, please contact Michael at lightweave@aol.com.
