128 Back Creek Drive, Hertford, NC 27944
Thank you for considering our home. Since the first time we saw this property by boat in 1997, we knew it was special. Even though the Perry's Cove Section of Albemarle Plantation was not yet open for purchase or construction at the time, we convinced the plantation to give us right of first refusal when it was offered for sale.
This contemporary mini-estate was custom designed to blend into its environment...combining over 360 feet of deep waterfront on Yeopim Creek with bald cypress, Spanish moss, sunshine and gentle southern breezes.
This is one of the only Albemarle Plantation waterfront home sites that occupies an entire point of land, giving it amazing water views on three sides of the house. It is larger than most of the lots at almost an acre. Its size and the wetlands on the adjacent property provide excellent privacy.
Custom designed for waterfront living - the great room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, screened porch and all four bedrooms have magnificent water views.
The large master bedroom has three walk-in closets and a gorgeous master bathroom in addition to its drop-dead water views....
A gourmet, fully custom kitchen with granite countertops, wet bar, wine cooler and open floor plan makes this home perfect for entertainment....
A boater's paradise - this property has two docks.
One is a 90 foot pier with a 12' x 30' entertainment platform, docking space for three boats of up to 50 feet, a "drive-through" slip, and six+ feet average depth at the end. It is extremely well protected from heavy weather, while being less than a mile upstream from the wide open Albemarle Sound. We regularly cruise our sailboat around the Albemarle Sound as well as taking the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW) north to the Chesapeake and south through eastern NC.
The other is a kayak, canoe and/or personal watercraft dock which winds through the woods and ends with its own carpeted launch ramp.
Massed azaleas, mature landscaping, stone walls, drift-wood, perennial gardens, and a sprinkler-drip system with its own well make this property a gardener's
dream. 
Architectural detailing makes this home very special....The custom oak spiral staircase was crafted in Minnesota and trucked to the plantation. It took 10 men to get it from the truck to the house. The hand-carved four panel screen above the fireplace encloses a media center with 40" TV, DVD, tuner, and surround sound.
This expansive library would also make a great home theater/media room....
Like to work out? this home comes with its own gym....
When we were designing the house, we wanted to take maximum advantage of the views and have a great place to live, cook and entertain, plus we wanted a definite "wow" factor.
We hope you agree that we achieved our objectives....
