A landscaped pond designed by Jeff Lewis of Landscapes Nouveau is the centerpiece of the Weld’s south lawn, an apron of grass that reiterates the
contour of the nearby tree line. This graceful arc also inspired architect Cothran Harris, who incorporated Arts and Crafts details into the rear elevation.
A member of the board of the North Carolina Coastal Studies
Institute on Roanoke Island in Manteo and an active member of the
Coastal Resources Commission, she says that organization—which
meets in different locales around the state—takes up a lot of time.
Enchanted by the sand roads and the natural environment, they
considered a retirement to Bald Head Island and built a cottage there
decades ago. As the island developed, the magic slowly faded and the
worldly couple fled for the high country and moved into their Black
River retreat days following 9/11. Now family and friends make the
journey to this remote, rural retreat, about 20 minutes from downtown
Wilmington, 30 from Wrightsville Beach.
