Lake Toxaway, North Carolina – December 17, 2009. Catatoga has just released plans for its Legacy Park Townhomes.  Located in a 308-acre resort community near Lake Toxaway, townhome ownership comes with access to all of the amenities this gated community has to offer, including fishing privileges on two miles of private trout stream and 22-acre Lake Catatoga. 

The three customizable townhome plans now available include the Light Cahill, Quill Gordon, and Royal Coachman.  Available models range in size from nearly 1,500 to 3,000 sq. ft. and showcase natural construction materials that blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.  The homes feature stacked stone fireplaces, cedar shake siding and roofing, generous three foot overhangs for natural shading, and hardwood floors.  Prices for these turnkey residences start at $387,000.

“The new Legacy Park Townhomes offering provides owners all the space and amenities of a single-family home without the upkeep that often comes with second home ownership,” says Steve Schneider, Merrill Trust Group’s Director of Sales and Marketing.  “Sportsmen and women who want to enjoy a relaxing getaway fishing, hiking, swimming, and boating can do so at Catatoga for a reasonable price point.”

Nestled among stately hardwood and pine-covered mountains on a high plateau, Catatoga has two spectacular private waterfalls, a clubhouse with outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, fitness center, game room, bar and lounge, boathouse and dock, and miles of secluded hiking trails. The Outpost—including a general store, outfitters shop and Day Spa—is expected to open early next year.

Catatoga also provides additional outdoor recreational opportunities in the adjacent Gorges State Park and Pisgah National Forest.  The community is within easy driving distance of the arts town of Brevard and shopping and dining in Highlands and Cashiers. Catatoga is located 45 minutes from Asheville, 2 ½  hours from Charlotte, and just under three hours from Atlanta. 

Catatoga also offers fully furnished single-family homes starting at $595,000, and home sites are available for as little as $85,000.  Private Residence Club memberships start at $125,000.
