Enota
is located on sixty wooded
acres, which were once ancient sacred Cherokee land and then a Cherokee
village. When gold was discovered in the mountains in the 1800’s the land
was confiscated by US government and subsequently sold to a family who
homesteaded it for 60 years. The land was then sold to the YMCA which
used the land as a boys camp for 50 years.
It then became an RV, cabin and tent campground and is now in Trust
for conservation, educational and spiritual purposes.
Enota is surrounded by 750,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest
and has never been used for cattle grazing or had any pesticides or
chemicals used on it. Enota
offers some of the cleanest air and water available.
It is located 1 ½ miles from the Appalachian Trail (which can be
reached from the property) and is a direct neighbor to Brasstown Bald
Mountain, the highest mountain in Georgia.

Enota Eco-Village is
based on shared spiritual, ecological and social values. Working with the principle of not taking more from the Earth than
one gives back, Eco-Villages have the potential to be sustainable
indefinitely, cooperating and living in co-creation with nature.

Enota
practices organic farming. We have a eight-year old organic garden.
As part of our educational program in the farming practices we are
continually planting orchards, berry bushes and edibles throughout the
property.
|
Guests are always
welcome to help in the garden.
|
In
our commitment to sustainability, we raise chickens from which we get our
own eggs. We have cows & goats which we milk daily. We also have
llamas, a miniature horse, a couple of cows, rabbits and ducks.
Enota serves the local community by acting as an animal rescue center.

The
kids love to help feed the animals and milk the goats
Enota
would like to transition to alternative energy in the near future.
Enota has a state-of-the-art hydroelectric micro power plant, which has the
ability for 28kw and has the capability to run our main Lodge. This
power source is completely functional but not yet operational. As
part of our sustainable and educational commitment we are working towards implementing
alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind, as demonstration models
throughout the entire property. We are looking for individuals who
will work with us to bring this transition into reality.
