About
Achasta
Dahlonega's Premier Gated Golf Community • 639 Private Acres • Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf
A Name Born from
Cherokee Heritage
The name Achasta comes from the Cherokee language, meaning "river of running lights" — a poetic description of the Chestatee River as it shimmers through this magnificent 639-acre community in Dahlonega, Georgia.
Located in the northern Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains, Achasta sits at the gateway to one of America's most storied landscapes. Dahlonega itself was the site of America's first major gold rush in 1828, and this rich history adds a uniquely American layer to life here.
Today, Achasta stands as North Georgia's most distinguished gated golf community — where the grandeur of a Jack Nicklaus Signature course meets the warmth of true Southern mountain hospitality.
