Lake Toxaway Estates

Live in the stunning forests of Western North Carolina! Lake Toxaway Estates, connected to the Lake Toxaway Country Club, features over 1000 beautiful luxury homes deep in the mountains with gorgeous views, easy access to nature, nearby activities, and even a marina. The community has become popular, both for year-round residence and as a vacation home to escape the summer heat. Beautiful Lake Toxaway is North Carolina’s largest private lake, which means that summers are not crowded; you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy water-based activities.

Many luxury amenities await members at Lake Toxaway. The 18-hole golf course was designed by leading architect Kris Spence and is connected to the Tom Fazio Golf Learning Center for those who want a little help with their swing. The golf center also features a health club with top-of-the-line fitness equipment, group classes, and personal trainers on staff for those who seek more personalized assistance. Additionally, the fitness center organizes guided hikes for people who want to explore the mountains but don’t feel comfortable traversing the trails on their own. 

The country club also has a championship-level croquet facility with carefully manicured lawns, as well as five tennis courts where organized events are frequently held. During the summer, tennis clinics for kids and adults offer the chance to perfect your game. 

The star of the community, the Lake Toxaway Country Clubhouse, was renovated in the past several years and now features a stunning Vanderbilt Ballroom, an extensive bar that runs both inside and outside, two dining areas, and a covered porch that can be reserved for special events. Members love the chalet-inspired architectural details that enhance the mountain lodge feel and add to the cozy atmosphere, despite the expansive space of the building. The large windows provide unadulterated views of the mountainous landscape, the thick forests, and the different sports courses so that whether you’re grabbing a drink or dining in the ballroom, you have an excellent vista to admire.

Just fifteen minutes to Sapphire and an hour to Asheville, residents have no issues finding ways to stay entertained. The Blue Ridge Mountains offer a wide variety of hiking trails for all skill levels; hikers can enjoy access to Dupont State Park for mountain biking or hiking as well as various waterfall trails along The Plateau.

Some of the local rivers are suitable for whitewater rafting, and the lake is a favored destination for fishing, sailing, and other watersports. The forests are home to a menagerie of wildlife, from deer to snakes to black bears, and an even wider number of plant species.

Nearby, Brevard and Sapphire are both home to several cultural activities, from art galleries to live music. Anyone looking for expanded shopping options can venture into Asheville, where they will have their pick of small artisan shops or larger well-known chain stores, as well as a variety of delicious restaurants. Asheville is also home to many seasonal festivals that you won’t want to miss. Hendersonville is also nearby, allowing for just an hour’s drive to Asheville Airport.
