If privacy and island living is what you are seeking, then Bald Head Island is right for you. As the southernmost island in North Carolinas cape islands, Bald Head Island is a 12,000 acre private island community accessible only by 20 minute ferry ride from Southport, North Carolina.
Beach homes overlook the beaches, waters and salt marshes that make up Bald Head Island. Homeowners and guests of the island travel by electric golf carts and bicycles by paved and unpaved paths. Guests can rent carts by the day while on their trip.
Bald Head Island features 14 miles of pristine, sandy beaches, an 18-hole championship golf course, two clubhouses, fitness facilities, tennis courts, swimming pools, a full-service marina, vast network of walking and biking trails meandering through the island, and a range of shops and restaurants.
Created by designer George Cobb, the championship 18 hole golf course at Bald Head Island is integrated into the islands marshlands, sand dunes, and marine woodlands. During the courses construction much of the preserved landscapes were left untouched.
Active adults will enjoy the clubs four soft-surface tennis courts, fitness center, mens and womens locker rooms, and resort swimming pool. The Shoals Club also has a swimming complex with a lap pool and children's pool.
The marina allows for easy access to the Cape Fear River, and the Atlantic Ocean. The island offers a 10-acre harbor and a full-service marina with boat slips ranging from 30 to 100 feet in length.
If you love food, you can enjoy the casual and formal dining or shop at the islands grocery store for all your supplies you'll need on your stay.
Bald Head Island is an incorporated municipality with its own fire department and community police department. All island firefighters are paramedic-level certified, and a basic medical treatment room is available at the main fire station. In emergency situations, transportation is available to Dosher Memorial Hospital located a few minutes from the mainland ferry terminal, and to nearby Brunswick Hospital or the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington.
Custom residential homes, villas, and townhouses, and ready to build lots are available for sale through the private real estate agency located on the island. For those looking to build their dream home, a featured builder program offers portfolio homes and custom designs to choose from. Fractional ownership is also available through the a selection of two-story cottages and an affordable co-ownership program, with prices ranging from about $150,000 and up.
