Ocoee Preserve: Luxury in Nature’s Embrace

Ocoee Preserve: Luxury in Nature’s Embrace

Surrounded by 85 acres of unspoiled Tennessee wilderness, Ocoee Preserve transcends the typical resort experience, offering a sanctuary for guests. This eco-luxury retreat sets a new standard for sustainable design. Inspired by the rich history and natural beauty of the Ocoee River Valley, Ocoee Preserve weaves seamlessly into its surroundings. Imagine twelve intimate guest cabins, a 20-room boutique inn, and world-class dining facilities, all harmonizing with the dramatic topography and lush old-growth forests. This isn't a place that conquers nature, it celebrates it.

Minimal Impact, Maximum Experience

The design philosophy at Ocoee Preserve revolves around minimizing environmental impact while maximizing guest experience. Gone are the days of clear-cutting and mass grading. Instead, the resort embraces a componentized layout, with structures like guest cabins perched on slender columns or nestled into the earth. This allows the natural landscape to flow freely, creating a sense of immersion and connection.

A Winding Journey Through Nature's Art

A winding staircase, a ribbon of stone and wood, snakes its way down the hillside, inviting guests on a journey through the heart of the resort. With each step, the forest unfolds, revealing glimpses of the river, the mountains, and the intricate details of the architecture. This pathway transcends its utilitarian purpose, transforming into a captivating sculptural element. It exemplifies the resort's commitment to harmonious integration with the surrounding environment.

Sustainable Luxury, Defined

Ocoee Preserve doesn't compromise on luxury. Rustic-chic interiors adorned with natural materials like stone, timber, and masonry offer a sense of warmth and refinement. The world-class restaurant showcases local, seasonal ingredients, while the spa pampers guests with treatments inspired by the surrounding flora and fauna.

Beyond the Nature

This resort is a beacon of hope, demonstrating that luxury and sustainability can coexist in perfect harmony. It's an invitation to reconnect with nature, to experience its beauty, and to appreciate the delicate balance between human ingenuity and the natural world.
