About this home

Signature waterfront perspective • Expansive building envelope • Incredible marshfront setting Positioned on one of Middle Island's most stunning stretches of Cape Creek, 85 Cape Creek Road offers a homesite that feels truly set apart. The property's generous width and gently curving rear boundary open onto an extraordinary sweep of tidal marsh and creek, with long, unbroken vistas across the preserved wetlands toward Bald Head's protected maritime forest. From an elevated build, you can potentially capture dramatic, panoramic views, where winding water channels glow at sunrise and the marsh grasses shift with every season. Nestled within mature hardwoods and pines, the lot provides natural privacy while still offering ample flexibility for a thoughtfully scaled residence, outdoor living terraces, and boardwalk-style pathways. Middle Island property owners enjoy access to the private boat and kayak launch, a quiet dock on the creek, and miles of serene natural surroundings unique to this side of Bald Head Island. Timeless, peaceful, and visually spectacular, 85 Cape Creek Road presents one of the most inspiring opportunities to create a custom coastal retreat on the island.
