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.
