REVIVAL OF AN
AMERICAN TRADITION
Bald Head Island Proudly Announces
The Return of The Turn -of- -the-Century Beach Cottage
THE
Cottages
With steep-pitched roofs,
rocking chair porches, cedar-shingle
siding, and wooder. shutters,
these cottages embody the charm
of turn-of-the-century coastal North Carolina
But to appreciate their real beauty and
special character, one has to step back to a time
when family beach cottages had a way of
growing to accommodate a growing family. The
result was a charming enclave of buildings
sometimes attached to and sometimes near the
principle residence
Passed down from generation to generation,
these beach cottages have become family heir
looms and a part of the lore and tradition of coastal
North Carolina
Today, Bald Head Island is reviving this
.American tradition with the introduction of The
Cottages at Flora's Bluff, beach front cottages on the
highest and arguably most historic oceanfront bluff
in all of Brunswick County.
Each with its own special character Each with
a splendid view of, and boardwalk access to, Bald
Head Islands South Beach Each with the long
roof overhangs and wide porches reminiscent of a
time before the invention of air conditioning
And each of four cottage
designs - with a variety of floor
plans to choose from - are
surprisingly priced from $160,000.
If you sense an undercurrent of pride and
excitement, there's no mistaking it. In truth, we
expect demand for The Cottages at Flora's Bluff to
far exceed the limited availability
If you think you may have an interest in
previewing the site, the cottages or receiving more
information - you are invited to call us toll free at
your earliest opportunity.
Our passenger ferry terminal is in Southport at
Indigo Plantation.

"I never thought my kids would
have a chance to see this place that
way I saw it," he said. "It's amaz
ing."
Sorrie described the conserva
tors' active theories of manage
ment "In this area, lightning causes
natural fires all the time. We've be
gun a series of burns to encourage
growth of the original plants. All of
these plants are adapted to burning;
some won't flower without it."
Ida Phillips, publicity director for
the Giapel Hill office of Nature
Conservancy, was overwhelmed by
the lush greenery. "We burned this
area in February; now it looks like
a jungle," she said.
Volunteers have built a plank
path through the very wet tangled
parts, but the children ? and some
of the adults ? ignored the planks.
"Look at this! Look!" One of
them held up a frog, another stuck
his fingers in a pitcher plant but all
seemed properly respectful of or
dcrs not to pick, kick or trample.
"This was a very successful
tour," said Phillips. "We'll have
about 10 through the year."
The Nature Conservancy now
owns 3.5 million acres of land in
the United States and, through do
nations of both property and mon
ey, adds an average of about 1,000
more acres daily. Its primary con
cern is saving plant and animal
species, so it has been criticized for
selling parts of its lands to raise
funds to save other land. But no
one can criticize its successes.
Other North Carolina preserves
include the Nags Head Woods, the
Alligator River and Grandfather
Mountain.
Anyone interested in Nature
Conservancy tours and projects can
contact them at their N.C. head
quarters, Suite D-12, Carr Mill Rd.,
Carrboro 27510.
As another touring couple, up
from Long Beach, said, "It's amaz
ing what you can find in your own
backyard."
