Mountain Cottage Fixer Upper Alert! Circa 1917 in NC. $164,000

May 12, 2026

Mountain cottage fixer upper alert! This would be a fun project! Would be fun to play up the cottage vibe. The house was built in 1917. It is located on .36 acre in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. While this house needs work, this price seems low. Lake Toxaway was an area affected by Helene, but not as bad as other locations and this house appears to be at a high elevation. The house features wood floors, vaulted ceiling, baseboards and knotty pine. There is a detached garage with space above. Two bedrooms and one bathroom. $164,000
