Why this home stands out
What sets 113 Croatan Rd apart is simple: it's new. Built in 2026, everything from the systems to the finishes starts at zero miles. Inside Albemarle Plantation, you're also buying into a lifestyle infrastructure that most communities take decades to build — a private marina, golf course, clubhouse, and waterfront dining, all within the gates. That combination of fresh construction and established community character is genuinely rare.
ALBEMARLE PLANTATION and the Hertford real estate market
Albemarle Plantation is a gated, master-planned community set along the shores of the Albemarle Sound in Perquimans County, North Carolina. It's designed around the water — with a full-service marina, an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, a pool, and a clubhouse that anchors the social life of the neighborhood. The community attracts buyers who want a quieter pace without sacrificing amenities, and the result is a neighborhood that feels both intentional and genuinely welcoming. Hertford itself is a small, historic town — one of the oldest in North Carolina — sitting at the edge of the Perquimans River. Life here runs at a slower, more deliberate rhythm. You're away from the noise of larger coastal markets, but the Albemarle Sound keeps the scenery dramatic year-round. Perquimans County's rural character means lower density and open land in every direction, which is a big part of the appeal for people who choose this address.

For community business or questions about the broader development, the Albemarle Plantation Sales Office is also within 0.6 miles. Beyond the gates, Hertford's small-town shops and services are a short drive, and Elizabeth City — with fuller grocery and retail options — is roughly 30 minutes northeast.
