Some locations simply cannot be recreated, and 13 Green Teal Trail is one of them. Nestled among mature coastal trees on an oceanfront lot on Bald Head Island's coveted west end, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean, this unique property offers an exceptional combination of natural privacy, spectacular water views, and endless possibilities. Whether you envision renovating the existing home or exploring the potential to build your dream coastal retreat, this is an opportunity to create something truly special in an irreplaceable location.
Enjoy sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, shipping channel, passing vessels, and unforgettable sunsets, all just a short walk from the marina, harbor shops, restaurants, and historic Old Baldy Lighthouse.
Designed with a reverse floor plan to maximize the views, the upper level features an open kitchen, dining area, and spacious great room surrounded by expansive windows overlooking the water. Step outside onto the upper deck to enjoy the coastal breezes and ever-changing waterfront scenery. A distinctive spiral staircase connects all levels of the home, adding architectural character.
The lower living level offers three bedrooms, including two with private bathrooms, along with a versatile office or additional sleeping space. The surrounding mature trees create a peaceful, shaded setting, offering a sense of privacy rarely found in an oceanfront location. The home includes three full bathrooms, one half bath, and a garage accommodating a six-passenger golf cart with additional storage.
Outside, a private boardwalk extends toward the beach, while the outdoor areas offer exciting possibilities for creating an exceptional oceanfront entertaining space.
The home's beautiful hardwood floors were freshly refinished in January 2026, adding warmth and character to the living spaces.
For buyers interested in renovation, the existing home offers a wonderful opportunity to reimagine its coastal charm and maximize its extraordinary setting. The property is offered as-is and requires repairs and updates, including window replacement, oceanfront deck waterproofing, and other improvements. The gas fireplace and dumbwaiter are currently inoperable. The private boardwalk remains intact, although the beach access steps were lost to erosion. Restoration of the steps is anticipated following future beach nourishment, subject to applicable approvals.
The property has been professionally managed as a vacation rental since 2017, generating average annual rental income exceeding $90,000. Thoughtful improvements may offer opportunities to enhance both personal enjoyment and rental appeal.
For those considering new construction, the oceanfront lot presents an exciting opportunity to explore the possibilities of creating a custom coastal home, subject to applicable building regulations, setbacks, and approvals.
Rare oceanfront land, breathtaking views, mature coastal trees, and an unbeatable west end location. Whether you choose to renovate, reimagine, or rebuild, 13 Green Teal Trail offers the chance to create your own piece of Bald Head Island paradise.
