About 212 SE Shore Dr

What sets 212 SE Shore Drive apart is its combination of thoughtful renovation and immediate access to Lake Toxaway's shoreline. Thoughtfully updated while honoring the home's original character, this contemporary residence offers 2,660 square feet across 2.5 stories, positioned on a gently sloping 1.16-acre parcel just a short walk from the lake.

Inside, the renovation focuses on performance and comfort: ductless heating and cooling, high-efficiency systems, and careful finishes that contribute to the home's excellent condition. The main living areas feel purposeful—rooms sized for relaxed gatherings, a living room with a fireplace for cooler evenings, and spaces that extend toward the outdoors. The property includes three bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a partially finished lower level that provides flexible space for media, hobbies, or an office.

Well-suited for year-round use or a mountain retreat, the home includes a dedicated sauna and modern mechanicals that lower operating costs. Utilities are set up for mountain living—well water, septic, propane, and electric service through Duke Energy—and a two-car detached garage adds valuable storage and workshop potential. The shingle roof and wood-frame construction reflect durable, straightforward choices appropriate to the setting.

Outdoors, the 1.16-acre lot offers privacy, room for gardens or future improvements, and direct proximity to the water and community amenities. Lake Toxaway Country Club is a short drive away for golf and dining, while Gorges State Park and its network of trails and waterfalls are within easy reach. For those who want a connection to a vibrant small-town arts scene, Brevard is about a 15-mile drive.

This property is a strong option for buyers seeking a move-in ready lakeside home with contemporary systems and turnkey comforts. With a recent series of renovations, efficient mechanicals, and the rare combination of acreage plus lake access in Lake Toxaway Estates, 212 SE Shore Drive represents both lifestyle and long-term value in one of Transylvania County’s most desirable settings.

Neighborhood & Location

Lake Toxaway Estates offers an elevated mountain-lake lifestyle where private shoreline, golf, and access to wide-ranging outdoor recreation define the community. Homeowners here value privacy and nature—boating and fishing on Lake Toxaway, rounds at Lake Toxaway Country Club, and day hikes to waterfalls at Gorges State Park are everyday options.

Market Insights

Lake Toxaway Estates currently reads as a steady, specialty market where higher-end homes draw careful, patient buyers. Average days on market in the area is elevated—around 156 days—indicating that while demand exists, premium listings often require pricing and marketing that reflect unique attributes (lot size, lake access, renovation quality). Local median sale price data for the broader 28747 area centers near $450,000, but recent comparable sales for renovated homes in Lake Toxaway Estates suggest a much higher bracket: 3 recent comps point to a $1.7M–$1.9M range for similarly positioned properties. The county assessed value ($1,048,850) is below these sale-based estimates, suggesting potential upside for buyers and sellers who understand the niche luxury-lake market.

Inventory is thin for true lake-access homes, and single-family residences with extensive renovations and added amenities (sauna, high-efficiency upgrades) attract interest from second-home and lifestyle buyers. Given the 156 average DOM and the detail-oriented buyer pool, this market currently favors well-prepared sellers who price realistically and buyers who are willing to move decisively when a property matches their needs. For investors, limited comparable rental data and owner-occupied signals indicate stronger potential as a second home or long-term hold rather than short-term income play.
