In the heart of Choestoe, The Real Georgia Mountains, "Land of the dancing rabbits"

Choestoe, the most beautiful area of the Northeast Georgia Mountains, is ready for you to explore. Unique, exclusive, unspoiled, undeveloped, peaceful, rare, and much sought after are a few of the many accolades bestowed on this beautiful land. Choestoe is an Indian name that translates to "where the rabbits dance" or "Land of the Dancing Rabbits."
Choestoe was originally inhabited by the peaceful and civilized Cherokee Indians who welcomed the white settlers to their land. Later the Cherokees were eventually forced to join the "Trail of Tears" and were forcefully removed from Georgia.
The Choestoe area is the land formed by the boundaries of the upper Hiawassee River in South Towns County, Arkaqua Creek, and up to Blood Mountain, and across to the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River above Helen, GA. The Choestoe area is surrounded on three sides by the Blue Ridge Mountains that extend across the south end of Choestoe. This Blue Ridge creates a watershed that divides the waters so that the waters on the north side of the ridge flow to the Mississippi River and then to the Gulf of Mexico while on the south side of the ridge the waters flow to the Atlantic Ocean.
Choestoe encompasses Brasstown Bald Mountain (4784' elev.), which is the highest peak in Georgia, and Blood Mountain (4458' elev.), second highest elevation in Georgia, which is also on the Blue Ridge Divide and the Appalachian Trail.

The Choestoe area is unsurpassed in beauty and is unquestionably one of the most desirable areas in the Northeast Georgia Mountains for a number of reasons.
First the entire area is almost 90% National Forest. The scarcity of available private land in the area makes it much sought after by people wanting to own land in a truly unspoiled mountain area. Property owners in this area want the privacy and seclusion from development found in other areas.
Second, the northern suburbs of Atlanta are within 1 hour and 15 minutes from the Choestoe area. Families that have owned Choestoe land for many years continue to hold most of the private land. Most of this land continues to pass to heirs.
Third, Blairsville, the Union County Seat, is the most central of all towns to everything in the NE Georgia Mountains. Choestoe is in south Union County, which is ten minutes from Blairsville, 15 minutes from Hiawassee, 25 minutes to Helen and 45 minutes from Dahlonega (The Gold City-Gold Rush US Mint).
The Geological Survey maps that cover the Choestoe area are Coosa Bald Quadrangle, Jacks Gap Quadrangle, Cowrock Quadrangle, and Neels Gap Quadrangle.

The Choestoe area is full of beautiful mountain recreational areas, including, but not limited to:
1.Appalachian Trail- http://georgiatrails.com/features/apptrail.html Hog Pen Gap-access, Testenee Gap-access, Blood Mtn.-access as well as additional hiking trails throughout the area.
