Toxaway

Lake Toxaway resides in the southwestern part of North Carolina and just east of Sapphire. The 614- acre mountain lake was the first artificial lake built in the Appalachians in 1902 by E.H. Jennings. The area is most well-known for being a favorited vacationing spot for the Fords, Edisons, and Rockefellers. Today the area is still popular with its unlimited possibilities. Hiking the majestic mountains, horseback riding through the scenic forests, skiing the snow-covered slopes, boating and fishing in the sparkling waters, and friendly games of golf, tennis, and croquet are all available here at North Carolina’s largest private lake.

Lake Toxaway features homes varying from lakefront estates, classic mountain cabins to spacious luxury homes.
