Cape Fear Station

Named for the U.S. Life Saving Station that once stood along East Beach, Cape Fear Station offers a traditional neighborhood layout surrounded by nature preserves in nearly every direction, and is Bald Head Island's crowning achievement in land planning and design.

Cape Fear Station combines exceptional natural surroundings with an equally incomparable, environmentally sensitive land plan. The community offers a variety of settings for homes and homesites, including oceanfront, creekfront and forest.

Located at the heart of the community, The Common at Cape Fear Station is a traditional village green, providing a gathering place for neighborly interaction and social events. Throughout Cape Fear Station, a series of sidewalks and alleys connect the homes to each other, and to all the amenities within and surrounding the neighborhood — most notably, the Shoals Club. And every Cape Fear Station home is, at most, a short walk to a spectacular ocean beach.

In keeping with the style on the rest of the island, the homes of Cape Fear Station offer a prime example of coastal Carolina vernacular architecture. The community's ubiquitous porches, deep overhangs, and shingle or plank siding exteriors capture the very essence of this distinctive form. Moreover, every homesite has been assigned a specific house style to take full advantage of the natural features and topography of a given geographic area.

Cape Fear Station homesites range from the $400,000s to more than $2 million, and home prices begin from the $500,000s and may exceed $4 million.
