For more than 150 years, The Cape Fear House has stood watch over the waters where the river meets the sea. At the confluence of the Cape Fear River, Atlantic Ocean, and Intracoastal Waterway, The Cape Fear House is a special opportunity to own a piece of history in one of North Carolina's most picturesque waterfront towns. Built in 1868 by Thomas Mann Thompson Jr.--a successful river pilot and Civil War blockade runner--this stately residence embodies Southport's maritime legacy. From its double front porches to its original heart pine floors, every detail tells a story. The home is the only residence in Southport to feature both a widow's walk and a cupola, offering unmatched vantage points over the Cape Fear River, Fort Caswell, and Bald Head Island. With five airy bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, the layout is flexible for family living or hosting guests. *Spanning three parcels and deeded to the waterline with direct beachfront access, the property provides potential for simple living or a compound-style retreat. Lovingly cared for by the same family since 1972 and thoughtfully updated in 2015, the home retains its historic charm while embracing today's lifestyle. Its cinematic backdrop has been sought after for many film and television productions. The true opportunity at 216 W. Bay Street lies beyond its bricks and beams. Ownership here is more than acquiring a residence--it is becoming the next steward of one of Southport's most storied waterfront landmarks. The Cape Fear House is more than a home--it's a story waiting to continue. Contact us today to schedule your private showing of this Southport icon.
