Bald Head Island Real Estate

Off the coast of Southport is the maritime island of Bald Head Island accessible only by Private Ferry (from Southport) or by private boat. Bald Head seeps in history and has the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina built in 1817. The 110-foot structure can still be climbed to the top today offering incredible panoramic views. Bald Head is very special Island that many say the famed pirates Black Beard (EDWARD TEACH) and Stede Bonnet buried their treasure on. Many owners fly their private planes into Oak Island Airport and then take their boat to Bald Head. Owning a home or condo here puts you in a special class all your own. You love traveling only by golf cart, you love nature, your love privacy, you love golf, you love great fishing, & crabbing and clamming, and you love the folklore and history this Special Island holds. The Martha Lee Realty team would love to show you some outstanding beautiful waterfront homes or homes hidden in the magical Maritime Forest, and no matter which up pick you win. Martha Lee knows so well because she was a permanent resident for 10 years.
