Search Lake Toxaway, NC Homes for Sale with a Basement

Lake Toxaway is the largest private lake in North Carolina, and the houses ringing it sit on ground that falls away toward the water. That geometry makes the lower level the natural place to put bedrooms and gathering space, because it is the level closest to the lake and the dock. In practice these are the rooms people actually use, opening onto a terrace with the water in front of them. The upper floor holds the primary suite and the kitchen. Cashiers Valley Real Estate has worked this lake for years. Compare the valley on the Sapphire basement page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is distinctive about Lake Toxaway?

It is the largest private lake in North Carolina, originally dammed in 1902, sitting at roughly three thousand feet with houses and a country club around its shoreline.

Why is the lower level so important on these houses?

Because the ground falls toward the water, the lower level is the one closest to the lake and the dock, so it usually holds the guest bedrooms and the main gathering space.

What should be inspected?

Moisture management and drainage on a sloping lakeside site, foundation condition, dehumidification, and whether finished lower level space was permitted.
