Escape the ordinary. Located where the asphalt ends and the woods begin, this Frisco/Buxton hideaway is Hatteras Island’s best-kept secret. Perched high on a ridge within the Buxton Woods Reserve, this home is a masterclass in privacy within our maritime forest. A rare find on Great Ridge Road, this unique 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath estate offers nearly 4,000 sq. ft. of living space at a price-per-foot that is hard to beat. The property features a heated two-car garage and a massive walk-in attic space that is already plumbed for future expansion. The ground level includes a bedroom with a full bath, laundry area, utility room, and dry storage (ideal for a future wine cellar). The main living hub follows with formal and informal spaces, a sizable kitchen, and a half bath. On the third floor, the expansive primary suite offers a spacious bathroom and two walk-in closets, while a separate wing across the landing houses a third ensuite bedroom. Continue upward to a versatile room that accesses the huge attic, then reach the top-level tower room—surrounded by windows to overlook the 3,000-acre maritime forest and beyond. With a layout that perfectly balances communal gathering and personal solitude, this home is ready for immediate occupancy while offering room to create a true island showstopper. Follow the trail down Great Ridge Road and see why this is the most unique home on the coast.
