Forming
Living Well Community
Franklinville, North Carolina,
United States
 The Living Well Community is a mixed-use development with a focus on healthy living. The project focuses on environmentally conscious development, and will feature energy-efficient, green buildings and homes.
This is a 124-acre property bordered by a mile of the Deep River on one side and a mile of Sandy Creek on the other side.
We have 23 existing approved lots along roadway with underground power, telephone, cable, municipal water and sewer. There are 17 existing additional approved residential lots, and also five commercial/institutional lots.
Our community is located near major highway corridors, just two miles from Highway 64 in the town of Franklinville, North Carolina. This property has regional appeal and access, being only a half-hour from Greensboro, 15 minutes from Asheboro and Siler City, and an hour and 15 minutes from RTP (Research Triangle Park), Raleigh, Durham, and Charlotte. We are centrally located between the mountains and ocean, and at the midpoint on the eastern seaboard between New York and Florida.
The Living Well Community has beautiful natural scenery, rolling bluffs for future homes and small businesses, and gentle slopes with trails down to the Deep River and Sandy Creek. The tract features hardwood forests, running cedar, rock outcroppings, woods, and many peaceful picturesque views. There are natural open areas along the riverside for peaceful sitting, reading, picnicking, recreation, and canoe or kayak launching. Beautiful vistas overlook the creek, river, and farmlands.
There are several greenways and walking trails on the property that go through the woods and down to both the creek and river, including a mile-long greenway trail along the Deep River on the old railway bed.
The Conference and Retreat Center, located on the 50-foot-high bluff overlooking Sandy Creek and the Deep River, features the lovely, historic McIver-Faulk House, built in the 1850s and relocated to this site in 2004. The partially completed Conference and Retreat Center will be available for retreats, classes, and events (weddings, reunions, etc.).
