Achasta

One hour of Atlanta in the mountains of northern Georgia, the trout filled Chestatee River meanders through a scenic mountain community named Achasta Golf Club, an attractive place to find homes for sale in northern GA. Their mountain golf course is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Achasta Golf Club is located between the gold rush town of Dahlonega and Lake Sidney Lanier. Dahlonega is known as one of the best small towns in Georgia filled with wineries, antique stores and history.

Achasta Golf Club has one of the most scenic mountain golf courses in Georgia. Set in a valley, the mountains and Chestatee River accent the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. Arts and Craft-style homes overlooking the golf course are at eye level or are built higher up on the hills. Dramatic mountain views are visible from every direction while playing the course. The Achasta golf course is an easy walkable golf course, uncommon to find in Georgia mountain communities. Achasta Golf Club amenities include a golf clubhouse, restaurant, lounge, outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, six miles of walking/ biking trails and a 24 hour gated entrance.

The rustic charm, preserved natural beauty and amenities compliment active mountain lifestyles. Mercer Reynolds, the founder of Reynolds Plantation and original developer of Achasta, had a goal for Reynolds Linger Longer Communities, to "leave each community better than we found it, including the land, the people and the greater community". Planting 500 trees, 1,200 plants and preserving 50% of this Georgia mountain community as protected open space is a reflection of goals accomplished making it ideal to Baby Boomers who want to retire in one of the best small towns in Georgia.

Nicknamed the River of Running Lights, Chestatee River naturally adds to the beauty at Achasta Golf Club. Fresh mountain air, refreshing waterfalls and interesting hiking trails contribute to a healthier lifestyle found in the mountains. Achasta's Outbound Director coordinates activities year round at Achasta golf. Wine tasting, book, gourmet cooking and Women's Clubs are just a few of the social clubs at Achasta Golf Club, chances to meet friends and share lifestyle interests. Not all residents are golfers. With the Chestatee River running through Achasta, trout fishing, canoeing and kayaking are water sports available to residents. Hunters can access sporting clays nearby at Etowah Valley Game Preserve. There's plenty to do for the entire family. For example, your grandchildren can treasure hunt for gold in Dahlonega or couples savor wine tasting at one of the superb wineries.
