Why this home stands out
New construction in a gated, amenity-rich community is a rare find in Hertford, and 118 Loblolly Dr delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this home carries all the advantages of fresh construction — modern systems, clean finishes, and zero deferred maintenance — while sitting inside Albemarle Plantation's established network of marina access, golf, and community green space that older builds in the area simply can't replicate.
ALBEMARLE PLANTATION and the Hertford real estate market
Albemarle Plantation is a gated, master-planned waterfront community set along the Albemarle Sound in Perquimans County, North Carolina. It's the kind of place people discover once and don't forget — a full-service marina, an 18-hole golf course, a community pool, tennis courts, and miles of walking trails woven through mature pines and waterfront lots. The community draws retirees, remote workers, and anyone who wants a quieter pace without giving up amenities. Hertford itself is a small, historic town — the county seat of Perquimans County — with a genuine small-town character that's increasingly appealing to people stepping away from busier metros. The surrounding Albemarle region offers easy access to the Outer Banks to the east and the Raleigh-Durham corridor to the west, making 118 Loblolly Dr a surprisingly well-connected address for how peaceful it feels day to day.
What's nearby
Daily life around 118 Loblolly Dr is more convenient than the zip code might suggest. Crown Mini Mart is just 0.2 miles away for quick grocery runs, and Brew 2 Rescue Cafe — pulling double duty as a coffee shop and casual restaurant — is right there too, making morning routines easy. The Carriage House is another nearby coffee option at the same distance. When you're ready for a sit-down meal, Larry's Drive In and 252 Grill are both about 0.8 miles out. For fitness, DEFY Bungee Fitness is 0.2 miles away, and Foundation Fitness is a mile down the road. Missing Mill Park, a short 0.1-mile walk, gives you green space practically on your doorstep.

Albemarle Plantation isn't a typical subdivision, and 118 Loblolly Dr isn't a typical new build. You're getting a 2026-constructed home inside a community with genuine identity — waterfront access, an 18-hole golf course, a full marina, and the kind of natural setting along the Albemarle Sound that most people only visit on vacation.
