Why this home stands out
What sets 223 Quarter Horse Loop apart is the combination of fresh 2026 construction and the established infrastructure of Albemarle Plantation surrounding it. You're not buying into a half-finished development — the community's marina, golf course, and clubhouse are already here. The home itself delivers 2,185 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space, three bedrooms, and two full baths, all without the wait or uncertainty of a custom build.
ALBEMARLE PLANTATION and the Hertford real estate market
Albemarle Plantation is a private, gated waterfront community set along the Perquimans River and Albemarle Sound in Hertford, North Carolina. It's the kind of place that attracts people who want a slower pace without sacrificing amenities — think a full-service marina, an 18-hole championship golf course, a clubhouse, tennis courts, and a pool, all within the gates. Hertford itself is the seat of Perquimans County, a small and genuinely charming town with deep colonial roots and a walkable historic district along the waterfront. The broader region sits at the edge of the Outer Banks corridor, meaning you're within reach of both the quiet, wooded inland landscape and the coastal energy of the barrier islands. Life here moves at a deliberate pace, and that's exactly the point.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are close at hand — a Dollar General sits just 0.6 miles away for quick household needs. The Albemarle Plantation Sales Office is 0.8 miles from your door, a useful landmark if you're ever hosting guests who need directions into the community. For a broader grocery run or dining out, Elizabeth City is roughly 30 minutes north and offers a solid mix of supermarkets, local restaurants, and retail. Edenton, another historic waterfront town, is about 20 minutes south and worth the drive for its restaurants and weekend farmers market.
