About Rita Olschewski
We bought this home 10 years ago and loved the quiet location and the nearby hiking. There is a stream near by for trout fishing and we built a tree fort with our grandkids. As they got older they wanted to be on a lake, so we built another house on Lake Toxaway where we spend our summer and fall. We still go up to the cabin for hiking and mushroom picking.
Rita Olschewski purchased this Chateau / Country House in 2005
Why Rita Olschewski chose Lake Toxaway
This home has fantastic views through huge windows. Even though we are in the woods, there is lots of sun on the porches and lawn. The property is surrounded by woods and National Forest.
What makes this Chateau / Country House unique
Close to Lake Toxaway with it's boat and kayak rental.We fell in love with the quiet serenity of this home. The water fall trails nearby are awesome and Tony's free guided hikes every Friday make it accessable to every one.
