Less than five minutes from downtown Franklin, Peaceful Meadows is a gated, resort-style Tiny Life® village on nearly 29 acres of Western NC ridgeline. The development merges luxury minimalism with fee-simple deeded land ownership—78 park-model sites on large platted parcels (0.17–0.84 acres), rolling mountain views, a clubhouse with fitness, pickleball, and dual secure gate entries.

Peaceful Meadows is a deeded park-model village—not the same as a custom permitted backyard ADU on a separate Macon County parcel you already own. Route into pathway tools if you are comparing both models.
