8712 Bald Eagle Lane, Wilmington, NC 28411 (MLS# 100490050)

Welcome to 'Joywater', a stunning home with a resort-like feel directly on the Intracoastal Waterway. The interior and exterior areas of the property showcase views of Figure Eight Island, Lea-Hutaff Island, and out Rich Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean. Just a stone's throw away lies the prestigious Eagle Point Golf Club as well as Porters Neck Country Club, both Tom Fazio designed Championship golf courses. This custom designed home was completed in 2022 and built into the high bluff of Bald Eagle Lane up and out of the flood zone. The residence features views of the waterfront upon entering the gracious foyer. The chef's kitchen is centered around a 12-foot white pearl quartzite island with rift-cut oak cabinets, beverage center, walk-in pantry, and the finest handmade Zellige tile. A main level primary suite offers more custom tile work and cerused oak wood. The family gathering area overlooks both the pool and the waterway, giving one the sense of floating with its vaulted ceiling, enormous impact-rated Marvin windows and double height fireplace. Ascending to the upper level you will find another sitting area, a second primary suite, family suite, and an en-suite study with oak paneling, built-in cabinets, and solid paneled wooden barn doors. All the lighting and audio visual systems are state of the art for form and function. The lower-level includes more living areas, a secondary kitchen/bar and spa bathroom, plus another en-suite bedroom with walk-out access to the pool. The ground level also showcases a 1,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room, lined with pecky cypress wood and reclaimed mahogany. Take your beverage of choice and head out the two 15 and 25-foot Centor folding doors onto the pool deck. There you will find an outdoor fireplace and grill station with a seated bar as well as under-cover and open-air lounging and dining areas. Of note is the standing seam metal roof framed by large

Supplements: and beautifully hand-made solid wood brackets, timbers, rafters and eaves. The exterior walkways, pool coping, and other surfaces display sandblasted limestone and marble slabs with more incredible craftsmanship. Beyond the 48-foot heated pool with sun shelf and spa is a two-tiered landscape with retaining wall and a second expansive lawn area. For boat lovers, the crowning glory just might be the waters-edge which leads out to a newly constructed bulkhead and pier with a large gazebo, 40' floating section, and 2 boat lifts with true deepwater access (one 13,000 lb and another 10,000 lb lift) .
