Property Description
A private one-of-a-kind isolated luxurious estate that fronts the breathtaking natural setting of the salt marsh and maritime forest of Bald Head Island, North Carolina. This 6 bedroom custom home with 5 en-suite baths plus two half baths, offers an ''elegant but within nature'' presence, and is set on a two plus acre wooded lot affording peace and privacy. The grand entrance, a long winding drive under the live oaks, brings you to this ingeniously designed 4548 sq foot family compound with a main residence, two separate guest houses, garage, and pool house all framing a spacious courtyard, with a saltwater pool. This showcase home is a perfect example of the blending of clean lines with the use of organic materials throughout, Vermont blue stone in the home's foyer, walkways around the pool, and black walnut cabinetry Before you even enter the home, you may be drawn down the boardwalk to take in the spectacular panoramic views of the marsh with the convenience of the small boat dock giving you private access to the creek. The main house offers an expansive living room with black walnut entertainment center, formal dining room, a large updated kitchen with breakfast room all with oversized custom windows that allow panoramic views of the water and the island's incredible wildlife. A slate floor screened breezeway takes you to the spacious master bedroom, a spa-like bathroom with jacuzzi, built in cabinetry, a reading room, custom WIC, all overlooking the marsh and a large home office with private deck offering views over the creek to the mainland. Imagine starting your day with a magnificent sunrise over the water, wandering across the upper deck during the day to the loft/sitting/workout room and enjoying the glow of the sunset at the end of the day. For those who love to cook, you will fall in love with the gourmet kitchen with double sinks, dishwashers, and ovens, Dacor appliances, and a Miele built-in coffee center.
