At the far end of a rare, secluded cove on Lake Toxaway's western shores, Stonehaven Estate occupies one of the lake's most significant addresses. Defined by 706 feet of private shoreline, a dual-slip boathouse, and a level lakeside lawn that is almost unheard of on the Plateau, the property commands an extraordinary waterfront position. Constructed in 2012, the stone-and-timber residence is not simply a home - it is a fully realized private resort, designed for multigenerational living, large-scale entertaining, and quiet retreat in equal measure. A pair of gated entrances opens onto a sweeping circular drive framed by stone walls, towering hardwoods, and grounds that have matured into the landscape. Inside, an imposing two-story great room forms the emotional center of the estate: light pouring through expansive openings, warm timber beams, iron candelabras in sculptural balance overhead, and a monumental stone fireplace anchoring the room. The kitchen - designed with gathering in mind - features dual oversized islands topped with hand-hammered copper sinks, professional-grade appliances, and easy flow to a covered Tennessee stone veranda where the boundary between indoors and outdoors feels purposefully blurred. The primary suite occupies its own wing with a stone fireplace beneath a reclaimed timber mantle, separate dressing areas and bathrooms, and direct views of the veranda and water. Upstairs, spacious guest suites with balcony access evoke a private lodge feel, anchored by a central lounge designed for long-weekend conversation. Below, the lower level functions as an exclusive private club: a twelve-seat bar, a climate-controlled wine room, a golf simulator, a fitness suite, a sauna, and a resistance pool, with stone and marble underfoot throughout. Outside, stone terraces descend to the shoreline where fire pits, open lawns, and a whimsical treehouse speak to the estate's generational spirit. The boathouse, with its expansive upper deck, becomes its own destination at day's end. Just minutes from the Lake Toxaway Country Club and The Greystone Inn, yet entirely removed from the public rhythm of the lake, Stonehaven Estate offers privacy and scale - and something increasingly rare: a sense of permanence.

Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home-it is part of Highlands' enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable-opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman's farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle-all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, & more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef's kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage & additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, & downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property, private, connected, and increasingly rare. Seller will pay for a Caretaker & Concierge for 2 years from closing.
