Abstract:

Located in the center of a hundred-mile radius that encompasses the booming Research Triangle, dramatic Outer Banks and Tidewater region, the community of Merry Hill seems a mere dot on the North Carolina map. This hamlet was once the seat of the 8000-acre Scotch Hall Plantation, the largest antebellum plantation in Bertie County. Today, the privately owned extant plantation house shares it setting with another Scotch Hall, Scotch Hall Preserve. This new Scotch Hall, a 900-acre residential and golf community adds a new dimension of the area's picturesque landscape of small towns, productive farms, and great expanses of blue water.
