Southport, NC 28461 5208 White Ibis Court

Some properties are simply impossible to replicate. Set on nearly TWO waterfront acres beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks draped in Spanish moss, this extraordinary Southport estate is a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, craftsmanship and location. Dramatic elevations roll toward tranquil tidal waters, creating a setting that feels worlds away, yet historic downtown Southport is just five minutes away by golf cart. Custom built by one of the area's premier luxury builders, the residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with beautifully designed spaces throughout. At the heart of the home is a spectacular chef's kitchen with gas cooking, custom cabinetry and an expansive granite island, complemented by a breakfast nook, Carolina room, formal living and dining rooms, and a dual-sided gas-log fireplace. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with a beautifully appointed bath, tiled shower, dual vanity and exceptionally spacious custom closet. A grand screened porch with custom fireplace and adjoining rear deck overlook the water and tidal creek, while a separate covered waterfront pavilion creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining, outdoor dining or simply unwinding beneath the oaks. The garage is remarkable in its own right, with multiple dedicated workshops, extensive storage and a full bath, an exceptional setup for boating gear, hobbies, collections or projects. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and three generous walk-in storage rooms. Just across the street from the community, the Bald Head Island and Fort Fisher ferries open the door to memorable day trips by water, while the beaches of Oak Island are only minutes away for boating, fishing, kayaking, golf, waterfront dining and days spent along the Atlantic. Nearly two acres. Waterfront. Towering oaks. Remarkable privacy. A pavilion by the water. Exceptional outdoor living. Downtown Southport by golf cart and the beach just minutes away. Bonus: It's not in a Flood Zone! This is more than a luxury home, it is a private coastal compound and a Southport lifestyle that would be nearly impossible to duplicate.
