Neighborhood Guide
The Three Sections of Achasta
The Greens
Single-family homes situated adjacent to or overlooking the Jack Nicklaus golf course. The Greens typically command premium pricing for course and mountain views. HOA dues cover common area maintenance, gated entry, and road upkeep specific to this section.
The Cottages
Smaller detached or semi-detached homes designed for lower-maintenance living within the Achasta gates. Popular with retirees and part-time mountain residents. Often priced below The Greens while still offering access to all Achasta Club facilities.
Custom Estate Lots
Larger parcels ranging from one to several acres, intended for custom-built homes. Estate lots allow more architectural flexibility and are typically positioned at the community’s perimeter or on elevated terrain with the broadest mountain views.
How the Achasta HOA Works
Achasta is governed by a homeowners association that oversees the gated community infrastructure, common areas, landscaping, and the community rules that maintain property values across all three sections.
Golf club membership, access to the Jack Nicklaus course, clubhouse dining, pool, and tennis, is governed separately by the Achasta Club, not the HOA. Buyers should verify which tier applies to any specific listing.
For current HOA dues, rules, and governing documents, buyers working with a Gold Peach Realty agent receive direct access to the relevant disclosure documents as part of the transaction process.
Community Type
Private gated community, single-HOA governed, with section-specific fee structures for The Greens, Cottages, and Estate sections.
Governing Documents
CC&Rs, Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations. Provided as part of the home sale disclosure package.
Club Access
Separate from HOA. Golf, dining, pool, and tennis access governed by Achasta Club membership tiers. Not all homes transfer membership.
