About this property

Private Island Sanctuary in the Maritime Forest, Stunning Views & Modern Architecture

  • BEST FEATURES!

    Private home
    Great nature views!
    3 golf carts!
    Screened in porch and deck space in main living area
    Pet free house, house is hypoallergenic

    A Saltmarsh Retreat sits on nearly two acres of maritime forest on Middle Island's Dogwood Ridge — surrounded entirely by undeveloped land, conservation preserves, and the tidal waters of Cape Creek and Bald Head Creek. Live oaks and palmettos reach down to the creek's edge, and the only sounds are wind through the marsh grass and water lapping at the shore. This is Bald Head Island at its most wild and unspoiled.
    The home was designed to place you inside this landscape. The top floor opens into a soaring great room with 360-degree views over the salt marsh and tree canopy. At the heart of it is a fully equipped chef's kitchen — an exceptional place to cook, where you're chopping vegetables and pouring wine while the marsh stretches out before you and the light shifts over the water. Meals flow naturally from the kitchen out onto the adjoining deck, with unobstructed views toward the marsh. After dinner, this is the perfect place to relax under the stars.
    Inside, pine paneling and flooring, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtful architectural details give the home a warm, handcrafted character. A screened sleeping porch, outdoor shower, and private soaking tub bring the outside in at every turn.
    Saltmarsh Retreat sleeps 12 across five sleeping spaces — four spacious rooms on the second floor and a bunk room on the ground level — with 2 full baths and 2 half baths throughout. Three golf carts are yours to explore: East Beach and miles of pristine shoreline are just a five-minute ride down Cape Creek Road, with a market and shops equally within easy reach.

    Three golf carts are yours to explore: East Beach and miles of pristine shoreline are just a five-minute ride down Cape Creek Road, with a market and shops equally within easy reach. You'll also have keys to a private beach access exclusive for Middle Island properties, just a quick golf cart or bike ride away"
    For those seeking an escape that's genuinely away from it all — immersed in nature and beautifully appointed — A Saltmarsh Retreat is it.
