LAKE TOXAWAY, NC                                                       View Lake Toxaway Property Listings

Welcome to the Splendiferous Secrets of Lake Toxaway....

Families have been drawn to the breathtaking mountain vistas and crystal clear waters of Lake Toxaway since 1903 when the Fords, Edisons and Rockefellers came by private railroad car. 

But the body of water we know as Lake Toxaway did not always exist. Before 1902, this was a rugged mountain area thick with forest and no paved roadways to travel.

Then, as now, people dreamed of getting away from it all, to rejuvenate their health, to renew their spirit. Many found nature to be this life-enhancing elixir. With that in mind, this remote wilderness area evolved into the exclusive resort area of Lake Toxaway, the first artificial lake of any size built in the Appalachians. At three miles long, one mile wide and with a shoreline of 14 miles it was situated at 3,010 feet above sea level.  Directly to the north, is its baby sister, Lake Cardinal, a body of water covering 65 acres and extending a shoreline of just 2miles.


Today, Lake Toxaway is a premiere resort destination offering rentals and second homes in several unique communities featuring the state's largest private lake, a country club, golf and tennis, great hiking and fishing, and homes and homesites on the lake, on the golf course, or on the mountain with dramatic mountain vistas.

Minutes from Highlands, Cashiers and Brevard, an easy drive from Asheville, Atlanta and Greenville, Lake Toxaway is a place where Mother Nature displays some of her best work, twelve months a year.
