Available Residences

Each home is crafted for low-maintenance, main-level living with modern comforts and a deep connection to the natural world. Expansive windows invite the outdoors in, framing views of towering pines and open skies.

The Gourmet Kitchen offers you the warmth of Wood Flooring, the strength of Quartz Counters, the efficiency of an Induction Range with Convection Oven, and the capacity of Maple Cabinets which touch the vaulted ceiling. The high-efficiency Tankless Water Heater, Furnace, and AC systems empower you to manage energy use, while the above-standard insulation throughout the residence and between the common wall contribute to solitude and comfort.

From the ground up, these residences are built with intention – using quality materials and timeless design principles that support well-being, reflection, and community. Walking trails, meditation spaces, and common areas are woven throughout the 45-acre site, offering peaceful places for quiet retreat or shared connection with neighbors.

Construction has gone vertical!

Phase 1 is complete.
Phase 2 is nearing completion.

Phase 3 will soon be announced!

The site plan – striking a balance

Sanctuary of Peace carefully considers the right balance between care for and preservation of natural resources including water, plants, and creatures. This connected, intentional community is designed to make efficient use of only five acres of land, wrapped in 45 acres of land.

It is the hope of the Sisters of Benet Hill Monastery that those who choose to make their homes in this community will share in their values, especially the Land Ethic. They seek to create a community of peace and solitude for those pursuing a deeper relationship within themselves, with their neighbors, and with all Creation.

What is the Sanctuary of Peace?

The Sisters of Benet Hill Monastery's Land Ethic: Care of the Earth

We, the Benedictine Sisters of Benet Hill Monastery, listening with the ear of our heart, hear from Holy Scripture, we are One with all Creation. Grounded in our Judeo-Christian Heritage and rooted in our 1500 year Benedictine Tradition we are entrusted by the Creator with care of the sacred gift of the land. The guiding principles that arise from our contemplative awareness inspire this land ethic which recognizes our moral obligation to respect and protect every particle that vibrates with One Life in the entire universe.
