“Our collaboration with Steve marks a pivotal moment for Sanctuaire Farms,” said Rob Beecham, CEO of Atlanta-based Folia Group. “With Steve’s visionary leadership, we’re taking our commitment to creating a modern farmsteading community to an entirely new level. This project will set a new standard for community living, fostering connections, sustainability and an enriched quality of life for all who live here.”
Kemp has worked in greater Atlanta and across the country for nearly three decades, specializing in both architectural and interior design. The award-winning architect is known for creating site-specific, custom designs with clean lines and classic style designed to inspire homeowners and reflect their lifestyles and taste.
Sanctuaire Farms is located on 461 acres in north Georgia, and when completed, will offer residents a uniquely curated and vibrant lifestyle with world-class lots on 5-20+ acres. The lifestyle-oriented community 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 Farms is The Grange Community Farm. Here, residents will enjoy a community garden, greenhouse and orchard, as 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 events, and more.
“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.”
