About this home
There are homes that occupy remarkable places, and there are homes that seem to belong to them.
Set along the dunes of Bald Head Island's East Beach, 11 East Beach Drive is a singular oceanfront estate conceived with a scale, permanence & architectural grace rarely encountered on the island. Designed by Cothran Harris & built by Telesis, the property unfolds across approximately one acre as a private coastal compound, where the Atlantic is both backdrop & constant presence.
From arrival, the estate reveals itself gradually. Mature coastal landscaping surrounds a collection of shingled structures connected by porches, decks & outdoor living spaces. Deep rooflines, weathered shingles & thoughtful architectural details give the property a timeless quality, while its arrangement across the site creates something increasingly rare: space, privacy & room to gather.
Inside the main residence, craftsmanship takes center stage. A soaring barrel-vaulted great room pairs extensive custom millwork & dark hardwood floors with walls of windows overlooking the protected dunes & ocean. Above, a graceful curved gallery follows the architecture before culminating in an arched window that frames sea & sky like artwork.
The kitchen was created for a home meant to be genuinely enjoyed, w/ generous work surfaces, custom cabinetry, substantial cooking & refrigeration capacity, multiple work zones & distinctive tilework. Nearby dining & gathering spaces maintain an effortless connection to the ocean beyond.
Throughout the residence, generous rooms coexist w/ intimate retreats. Bedrooms & living areas are thoughtfully distributed, allowing a house full of family& friends to gather comfortably without surrendering privacy.
That philosophy extends beyond the main residence. Separate guest accommodations provide living & sleeping spaces of their own, creating exceptional flexibility for extended family & guests while remaining connected to the larger estate. Rather than feeling like accessory spaces, they contribute to the property's unmistakable sense of being a true private compound.
Expansive covered & screened porches extend the architecture toward the landscape. An open-air kitchen & gathering area offers substantial cabinetry, grilling station, custom hood & island seating beneath an exposed-beam ceiling. Elsewhere, broad decking links the estate's structures around a remarkable outdoor living environment anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace & covered dining pavilion. These are not incidental porches added to an oceanfront home; they are integral living spaces designed for the way life is actually enjoyed on Bald Head Island.
French doors stand open between indoors & out. Rocking chairs face the dunes. Morning light arrives over the Atlantic. Evenings can move naturally from dinner beneath the pavilion to conversation around the fireplace while the ocean sounds beyond the dune line.
Approximately one acre along East Beach affords the rare luxury of room to breathe. Broad protected dunes create a beautiful natural foreground between the residence & Atlantic, while the property's scale allows landscaping, structures & gathering spaces to exist without crowding one another. Despite the estate's considerable size, the result feels remarkably private & intimate.
Built in 2009 & held by its original owners, 11 East Beach carries an intentionality that photographs & measurements alone cannot fully communicate. Curves repeat. Sightlines have purpose. Materials transition naturally from one space to another. Architecture, landscape & setting speak the same language.
It is a home designed not merely for spectacular weekends, but for generations of them--for children & grandchildren, old friends & new traditions, quiet mornings & crowded tables.
11 East Beach Drive is more than a residence on the ocean. It is a Bald Head Island estate in the fullest sense of the word--and an opportunity unlikely to be repeated.
