Why this home stands out
Built in 2026, this home gives you the rare advantage of owning something no one has lived in before — fresh finishes, modern systems, and none of the maintenance surprises that come with older construction. South Mills Landing is a small, unhurried community where the pace slows down the moment you turn off the main road, and 210 Myrtle Lane sits right in the middle of that calm.
SOUTH MILLS LANDING and the South Mills real estate market
South Mills is a small unincorporated community in Camden County, North Carolina, tucked along the Dismal Swamp Canal just south of the Virginia state line. It's the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other and the landscape stays green and wide open. South Mills Landing is a residential pocket within that community — newer construction on quiet streets, with a low-density feel that's increasingly hard to find this close to the Hampton Roads metro area. Camden County keeps property taxes among the lowest in the region, which is a meaningful long-term advantage for homeowners here. You're in North Carolina, so you get that state's tax structure, but you're close enough to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk to reach them without much effort. For buyers who want breathing room without giving up access to a major metro, South Mills Landing at 210 Myrtle Lane checks both boxes.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life in South Mills is straightforward and low-friction. Hunt Brothers Pizza is just 0.3 miles away — an easy walk or a one-minute drive when you want something quick and satisfying. The town of Elizabeth City, about 25 minutes south, brings a fuller range of grocery stores, pharmacies, and dining options. Heading north into Chesapeake, Virginia takes roughly 30 minutes and opens up big-box retail, hospitals, and a wide dining scene. The Dismal Swamp Canal Trail is also nearby, offering flat, scenic paths popular with cyclists and walkers who appreciate the area's natural character.
