Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means everything — the roof, the mechanicals, the finishes — is fresh. South Mills Landing is a compact, newer community that trades big-city noise for genuine peace and quiet without sacrificing everyday convenience. For buyers who want a low-maintenance start in a home that hasn't been lived in before, 224 Peach St delivers exactly that.
SOUTH MILLS LANDING and the South Mills real estate market
South Mills Landing sits in the heart of South Mills, a small unincorporated community in Camden County, North Carolina, right along the Dismal Swamp Canal corridor. The area has a distinctly unhurried character — think wide skies, mature tree lines, and neighbors who wave from the porch. Camden County is one of the least densely populated counties in the region, which means less traffic, lower noise levels, and a genuine sense of space that's hard to find this close to the Hampton Roads metro. South Mills itself straddles the NC–VA line, putting you within easy reach of Chesapeake, Virginia, while still enjoying North Carolina's property tax environment. South Mills Landing homes for sale represent some of the newest residential construction in the area, making this community a standout for buyers prioritizing modern builds over older resale stock. The neighborhood's scale keeps things personal — this isn't a sprawling master-planned development, it's a manageable community where you'll actually know your street.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easier than the zip code might suggest. Paradise Family Grocery is just 0.6 miles away — close enough to make a quick run without a second thought. When you'd rather skip cooking, Hunt Brothers Pizza is only 0.4 miles down the road, one of the most convenient fast options in the area. The Dismal Swamp Canal Trail is nearby for walking, cycling, and wildlife watching. Chesapeake, Virginia — with its full range of big-box retail, dining, and services — is a straightforward drive north, keeping you well-connected without forcing you to live in the middle of it.
