Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is simple: it's new construction in 2026 inside one of northeastern North Carolina's most established private waterfront communities. Albemarle Plantation is a gated neighborhood with marina access, golf, and a clubhouse — amenities that typically come with a much larger footprint. At 1,410 square feet, this home delivers that lifestyle in a right-sized, low-maintenance package that's genuinely hard to find at this scale.
ALBEMARLE PLANTATION and the Hertford real estate market
Albemarle Plantation is a gated, master-planned waterfront community set along the Perquimans River and Albemarle Sound in Hertford, North Carolina — the county seat of Perquimans County. The community has its own marina, an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, tennis courts, and miles of shoreline that make everyday life feel like a retreat. Hertford itself is a small, historic town with deep roots — it's one of the oldest towns in North Carolina, and the character of the surrounding area reflects that quiet, unhurried pace. Perquimans County sits in the northeastern corner of the state, about 45 minutes from Elizabeth City and roughly 30 minutes from the Virginia border. If you're drawn to water, wildlife, and a genuine sense of community without the noise of a larger city, Hertford and Albemarle Plantation deliver exactly that.
What's nearby
Day-to-day convenience is close. A Dollar General sits just 0.3 miles away for quick household essentials, and the Albemarle Plantation Sales Office — also 0.3 miles out — serves as a community hub where you can learn more about the neighborhood's ongoing development and amenities. For broader grocery runs and dining, Elizabeth City is the regional center, roughly 45 minutes away and home to a full range of stores, restaurants, and services. The Perquimans River and Albemarle Sound are essentially your backyard, offering boating, fishing, and kayaking without ever leaving the community.
For different buyers
For first-time buyers
New construction means no surprises — fresh systems, modern finishes, and a builder warranty from day one. For a first-time buyer, that peace of mind matters. Three bedrooms and two full baths give you room to grow, and stepping into a gated community with marina and golf amenities at this square footage makes Albemarle Plantation an accessible entry point into a lifestyle that usually costs considerably more.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've been searching for something that isn't a cookie-cutter subdivision on a treeless lot, Albemarle Plantation is worth a serious look. The community wraps around the Perquimans River with genuine waterfront character — a marina, a golf course, mature landscaping, and a gated sense of privacy. This 2026 home brings all of that within reach in a compact, well-proportioned 1,410-square-foot layout that prioritizes quality of place over sheer square footage.
