6a Leeward Court

Description

6A Leeward Court | Harbour Village, Bald Head Island, NC 1 Bedroom | 2 Full Baths | 513 Square Feet | Built 1989 Some of the most enduring things come in the most refined packages. At just 513 square feet, 6A Leeward Court is a masterclass in thoughtful design -- a jewel-box cottage that delivers the full Bald Head Island experience without a single wasted inch. Designed in 1989 by Dan Costa, a graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This one-bedroom, two-bath retreat bears the hallmark of an architect who has spent his career perfecting the art of the coastal cottage. Costa's work has graced the pages of the New York Times and Metropolitan Home, and his projects on Bald Head Island are among the most architecturally distinctive on the island. Owning a Dan Costa design is not simply owning a home, it is owning a piece of the island's architectural legacy. Nestled in the heart of Harbour Village, the property sits at one of Bald Head's most coveted addresses. The landmark towers Costa designed nearby welcome beach-goers back to Harbour Village at day's end and 6A Leeward Court enjoys that same spirit of inspired, human-scale design. The marina, local dining, boutique shops, and the ferry landing are all an easy stroll or golf cart ride away, while the surrounding maritime forest and creek views offer the serenity that draws people to this island again and again. The two full baths are a rare and practical luxury in a cottage of this size, making the property as guest-friendly as it is owner-comfortable, an ideal lock-and-leave retreat or an outstanding addition to a vacation rental portfolio. Adding exceptional value, a coveted Shoals Club membership is available for separate purchase. Perched dramatically atop the dunes overlooking the Atlantic, the Shoals Club is Bald Head Island's premier private beach club, offering members sweeping ocean views, fine and casual dining, a saltwater pool, direct beach access with chairs and umbrellas provided, and a vibrant calendar of social events for all ages. The Bald Head Island Lifestyle.... Accessible only by ferry and free from the noise of automobiles, Bald Head Island is one of the Carolina coast's most unspoiled sanctuaries. Fourteen miles of pristine Atlantic shoreline and a thriving village community await, all experienced by golf cart, bicycle, or on foot. It is a way of life as rare as the property that grants access to it. 6A Leeward Court is small in scale and enormous in character. For the buyer who values architecture, authenticity, and the singular pleasures of island life, this cottage is simply without equal.
