Welcome to 47082 Deer Run Circle—an architect-designed retreat tucked on a rare three-quarter-acre lot in the coveted 'X' flood zone of Buxton Woods. Surrounded by National Park Service land and framed by two ponds and lush woodlands, this property offers the ultimate Outer Banks sanctuary with natural privacy and abundant wildlife all around. Perched on elevated ground at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this one-of-a-kind home is just minutes from pristine beaches—easily accessed via nearby National Seashore parking or Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) ramps. Step inside the stunning entryway featuring mixed-slate floors and five-foot-wide oak stairs that lead to a warm, open-concept living space. At the heart of the home is a spacious living room with soaring ceilings, wood floors, and a dramatic slate fireplace that echoes the stonework in the entry. A bay window in the adjacent dining area offers a tranquil view of the woods, while the open kitchen features granite countertops, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, a center island with bar seating, and a walk-in pantry with built-in shelving. Whether you're entertaining guests or preparing a quiet meal at home, this layout flows beautifully for everyday living. Two guest bedrooms share a beautifully updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while a nearby powder room adds extra convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a balcony that connects to the spacious deck. The updated ensuite bath includes dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Above the living area, a cozy loft with a walk-in closet offers the perfect space for reading, yoga, or a quiet home office. Outdoor living shines with a large sunroom off the living room, three levels of decking, and peaceful woodland views in every direction. Screech owls have nested just feet away, and it's not uncommon to spot wood ducks, egrets, osprey, or even eagles overhead. Deer, turtles, and rabbits frequently roam the property, completing the natural, storybook setting. On the ground level, you'll find a full laundry room, additional storage closets, and a large bonus room with private access—ideal for a workshop, art studio, or gear room. A spacious outdoor shower and covered parking round out the home’s thoughtful design. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath custom-built home is a rare offering—combining space, serenity, and architectural charm in the heart of Buxton, just minutes from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, local schools, shops, and restaurants.
