There are many things to think through when you begin to look for your dream location around the lake. The first thing we recommend is looking for a home site that allows you to build the size of the home you have in mind while still enabling you to leave as many of the natural elements in place as possible. This ensures you can protect the natural habitat of the lake as well as provide your homesite with more natural landscape for privacy.

Incorporate Natural Elements

One thing to keep in mind when building your lake home is the natural surrounding that will ultimately frame the exterior of your home. To ensure your custom home fits in with its surroundings, we recommend utilizing natural elements in the design. Native river stone, custom woodwork, and rustic architectural details are popular choices for homes around Lake Toxaway.

Outdoor Living

You will want to maximize the outdoor living space of your home on Lake Toxaway. It is extremely important to design a landscape plan that is both functional for your personal use as well as aesthetically pleasing to those who will see your home from the lake. Incorporating native plants and worry free materials into your landscape design will ensure your home looks beautiful year round.

The majority of entertaining on the lake is done outdoors so you will want to be sure to design an outdoor living space that allows for both intimate and large gatherings. Incorporating stacking glass walls or swinging french doors, screens, and a fireplace makes for the ideal setting no matter what the season.
