Few settings capture the Lake Toxaway lifestyle as immediately as this two-bedroom, four-bath lakefront pedestal home. The dock is just beyond the back door, reached across a gentle lawn, while views extend over the water to the surrounding mountain ridgelines. From sunrise on the deck to evenings beneath the covered lakeside porch, the home is designed around an effortless connection to the landscape. Inside, the living room makes a memorable impression with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, a fireplace, and an expansive wall of windows framing the lake. Warm wood floors and natural textures create a relaxed atmosphere, while the room is equally comfortable for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The kitchen offers granite countertops, a generous island with seating, stainless steel appliances, and an open connection to the dining area beneath another vaulted, beamed ceiling. The primary suite includes an adjoining sunroom currently used as an office, where windows capture the lake and mountains from multiple angles. A private balcony extends from the sunroom, creating an intimate perch for morning coffee or a quiet pause above the water. The suite includes a full ensuite bath, while the guest bedroom also enjoys its own private bath. Two additional full baths bring the home’s total to four and add convenience across its levels. The finished walkout lower level offers a kitchenette, full bath, tiled flooring, built-in storage, and sliding glass doors opening to the covered patio, lawn, and lake. Ideal as a recreation room, secondary gathering space, or guest retreat, it supports relaxed lake days with ease. Although the setting feels peacefully removed, the property is approximately 20 minutes from Sapphire Valley Resort and downtown Cashiers, 30 minutes from Brevard, and 40 minutes from Highlands. Nearby hiking trails and waterfalls invite exploration, while dining, shopping, art, music, and events such as the Cashiers Plein Air Festival and Groovin’ on the Green enrich the experience. Whether envisioned as a private mountain escape, a full-time lakefront residence, or a property with potential for short-term rental use subject to applicable rules and regulations, this home offers direct water access, flexible living space, and exceptional scenery. Experience the setting in person and discover a retreat where the water is more than a view—it is part of everyday life.

Step inside this one-level mountain retreat, waiting for you next to Gorges State Park, then hike out your backdoor and quickly access the park’s trail system!

Cozy up to the stone fireplace under the living room’s vaulted ceiling with wooden beam accents. Enjoy evening cocktails on the back deck as you unwind and relax.

An easy 14-mile drive from both downtown Brevard and downtown Cashiers. New HVAC in 2024; baseboard heat and plug-in AC units for the bonus space.
