This highly coveted property can become your very own private getaway or a developer's dream!This beautiful property is located along the Perquimans river and is totally private due to the boundary being at the very end of Bundys Road near the town of Hertford, North Carolina.

These hardwoods existt mostly along the eastern side of the property from the northeastern boundary all the way south along Sutton Creek. As you enter the gate off Bundys Road, you drive down the private gravel driveway that runs along the Perquimans river.
