Achasta is comfortably set in the beauty of the North Georgia mountains. Like at other Linger Longer Communities (see Reynolds Landing and Reynolds Plantation), golf plays (no pun intended) a very important role, thanks to the par-72, 6,995-yard Achasta Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design. The course is set amongst such beauty that, according to their website, 25% of golfers choose to walk instead of renting a cart!

The course has been home to the PGA Tour’s 2007-2008 AT&T Classic Qualifier, 2002-2006 Bell South Classic Open Qualifier, 2002 Georgia State Amateur Qualifier, 2003 US Open Qualifier and the 2004 Georgia State Mid-Am Qualifier. The Achasta clubhouse is a casual setting, just steps from the Swim and Tennis Center nearby.

Achasta is only minutes from a unique arts and cultural scene in downtown Dahlonega, which was recently named a “Top Five Offbeat Town” by OffBeatTravel.com for its eclectic arts scene, historic treasures, 12 annual festivals, dining and shopping.

Currently under development for the community is the planned Mountain View Club. The Achasta Mountain View Club will feature both indoor and outdoor pools with waterslide and whirlpool spa, a casual bistro, lounge, meeting space and fitness center.

Local history is woven into the community:

“Achasta” is derived from the Tsalagi (Cherokee) word for light. Exemplifying Linger Longer Communities’ commitment to preserving the heritage of the land and the people who once inhabited it, Achasta is a tribute to the Cherokee people and the Chestatee River. Known as the “River of Running Lights,” the Chestatee flows through the community, illustrating the light of new beginnings while leaving a legacy of its own throughout the beautiful mountain topography.”

The North Georgia Mountains surrounding Achasta offers members and visitors the opportunity to walk the more then 3 miles of winding scenic trials that meander all around Achasta’s 1058 acres. The nearby Chestatee River is perfect for an afternoon of trout fishing, floating on a relaxing inner tube or a kayak ride in the cool mountain water.

It wouldn’t be the mountain life without mountain biking, gold panning, rock climbing and horse back riding. All of these are available at Achasta.

The property search on the Achasta website shows lots are available from the $120k’s, and complete luxury homes range from the $400k’s up to $1.5 million. [visit website]
