Why this home stands out
New construction in an established, amenity-rich gated community is a rare combination, and 182 Quarter Horse Loop delivers exactly that. At 2,185 square feet on a 0.44-acre lot, the home offers generous indoor space and real outdoor breathing room — no postage-stamp yard here. Albemarle Plantation wraps residents in marina access, golf, and community life that most neighborhoods simply can't replicate, all while keeping the price of entry in Hertford's comparatively accessible market.
ALBEMARLE PLANTATION and the Hertford real estate market
Albemarle Plantation is one of coastal North Carolina's most recognized planned communities, set along the shores of the Albemarle Sound in Perquimans County. The development centers on a deep-water marina, an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, tennis courts, and miles of quiet roads that wind through mature trees and waterfront lots. It draws a mix of retirees, remote workers, and families who want resort-style surroundings without resort-town prices. Hertford itself is a small, historic town — one of the oldest in North Carolina — with a charming downtown riverfront along the Perquimans River. Life here moves at a deliberate pace. You're roughly 30 minutes from Elizabeth City for broader shopping and dining, and about 90 minutes from the Outer Banks. For buyers who want space, water, and a true community feel, Albemarle Plantation in Hertford checks boxes that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the region.
What's nearby
Day-to-day conveniences are close enough. A Dollar General sits just 0.6 miles away for quick household essentials, and the Albemarle Plantation Sales Office is 0.8 miles from the front door — useful if you have guests curious about the community or want to explore additional property options nearby. The marina and golf course amenities are woven into the neighborhood itself, so recreational outlets are practically at your doorstep. Elizabeth City, about 30 miles north, expands your options considerably with grocery chains, restaurants, and medical facilities.
