As grand as Nature herself, this unspoiled place sits amidst stands of cypress, yellow pine and oak trees on a bluff overlooking the historic Albemarle Sound. More than a beautiful place, it was here in the early 1600’s, in what is now known as the Merry Hill area of Bertie County, that seeds were planted by early settlers for what would become the Colony and, ultimately, the State of North Carolina. And, it is here that modern-day settlers are coming together to enjoy the scenic brilliance and comfortable year-round climate, as well as the outdoor recreation and relaxed lifestyle of North Carolina’s Inner Banks.
The Albemarle Sound is the second largest estuary in America, second only to the Chesapeake Bay. Here on the banks of the Sound you’ll find Scotch Hall Preserve, equidistant from historic Windsor, the seat of Bertie County, and the picturesque and celebrated town of Edenton, seat of Chowan County.
