Private Communities in North Carolina – Bald Head Island
Posted by Hubert Miles under: Golf .
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.
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 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.
George Cobb designed the marshes, dunes, and maritime forests of the natural landscape into the Bald Head Island 18-hole championship golf course. The result is some breath taking views. During the construction of the course most of the natural landscape was preserved.
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 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.
If food is your passion, there are options for either casual and fine dining, or shop at the fully stocked grocery store to prepare a quiet meal at home.
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.
