Introduction
Union Acres
Community
was founded in 1989 in the heart of the
beautiful Smoky Mountains of
Western
North Carolina. We are located one hour
west of Asheville near Cherokee
in
the riverside town of Whittier, adjacent
to Great Smoky Mountain
National
Park. The community is made up of 80
acres set aside for up to 24
residential
dwellings (members own title to their
individual lot/s). Seven acres is
common land offering majestic woods, a
wandering creek, hiking trails,
garden
space, a community center, and a lovely
meadow with a swimming pool.
Union Acres is a spiritually eclectic,
ecologically conscientious,
intentional
community based upon the principles of
earth stewardship, simplicity,
and
wholesome living. Our stated purpose is
"to live as neighbors in peace,
harmony,
and ecological balance; to respect one
another and all forms of life;
to attune to and act in harmony with the
Universal Life Force which is
the essence of all existence."
We
enjoy coming together for many different
kinds of gatherings
such as potluck meals, talent shows,
costume parties, food co-op
sharings, and a wide variety of
celebrations that honor many
traditions; we also enjoy enjoy such
sports as wiffleball, volleyball,
swimming, kayaking, canoeing, hiking,
and horseback riding. Many of
these events are attended
by "friends" of the community. As we
grow in numbers, various members
have expressed
interest in developing other activities,
some of which you can read
about in Future
Interests.
We seek people
who are cooperative in nature, who share
similar interests
to ours, and who are willing and able to
actively participate in both
the work and play of building
vibrant community. We welcome
visitors who make advance arrangements
