Bald Head Island is private island living at it’s best. Located off the coast of North Carolina coast on the southern tip of the cape islands, this 12,000 acre private island community can only be reached by a ferry that runs from Southport, North Carolina every hour.

Beautiful luxury homes overlook thousands of acres of preserved lands and salt marshes. The only transportation on the island is electric golf carts and bicycles, which allow for a peaceful getaway from traffic with all the luxuries and amenities of other gated communities.

Bald Head Island has fourteen miles of undeveloped beaches, an 18-hole championship golf course, two clubhouses, hi-tech exercise facilities, tennis courts, swimming pools, a full-service marina, walking and bicycling trails weaving through the island, gift shops and dining establishments.

The Bald Head Island 18-hole championship golf course is intermingled through a series of marshes, dunes, and maritime forests. Created by designer George Cobb, much of the terrain was left just as it was found.

Tennis players will love the four soft-surface tennis courts at Bald Head Island. The club house also has exercise rooms, mens and womens locker rooms, and a resort style swimming pool. There is also a second swimming facility at the Shoals Club that has a lap pool and kiddie pool.

The Bald Head Island marina provides boaters with access to the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. The ten acre harbor is equipped with boat slips varying in size from 30 to 100 feet.

At Bald Head Island you can enjoy both casual and fine dining. You can also purchase groceries from the fully stocked grocery store located on the island.

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.
