226 Lost Colony Drive The Award-Winning Retreat in Vista Colony Built by SimpleSide Construction, designed by Florez Design, and professionally furnished by Site to Sea, this stunning new build in Vista Colony offers an exceptional living experience on the west side of Nags Head. Nestled directly beside… Read More its sister home at 224 Lost Colony, these two newly constructed properties present a rare opportunity to purchase side-by-side homes—ideal for multi-generational living, investment income, or shared ownership with family or friends. While neighboring 224 boasts a cottage-style layout, 226 Lost Colony features a completely different design—a layout that draws inspiration from our 2022 Outer Banks Parade of Homes winner, which earned both the Judges’ Excellence Award and the People’s Choice Award. This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home is a masterclass in flexible design, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and entertaining space across three thoughtfully crafted levels. Ground Level: The entry point welcomes you into a functional landing space and dry entry with a laundry area, ideal for beach living. Throw your beach towels and outdoor gear down here before you head upstairs. Second Level: The middle level is home to the primary suite—a true retreat with a private porch overlooking the tree-lined streets of Vista Colony. Sip your morning coffee surrounded by birdsong and coastal breezes. The ensuite bathroom includes a spa-like tile shower and a freestanding soaking tub. Also on this level: Two guest bedrooms sharing a full hallway bathroom. One guest room features its own private deck, creating a peaceful guest suite feel with indoor-outdoor flow. Top Level: Upstairs is where this home shines as a gathering space. The open-concept living and dining room features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a large extended island with seating for a crowd. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry—a rare Outer Banks luxury—providing ample room for food storage, entertaining essentials, and longer beach stays. Off the living space is another sun deck, extending your living area outdoors for evening cocktails or weekend brunches. Whether you're searching for your forever home, an income-producing vacation rental, or a family compound alongside 224 Lost Colony, this is your chance to own in one of the most walkable, nature-rich, and beach-accessible neighborhoods in Nags Head. From the front door, you’re just a 4-minute walk to the Nags Head Town Trailhead, connecting you to miles of preserved maritime forest, and only 0.6 miles to the beach via the Barnes Street access with ample public parking and safe pedestrian crossings. Move-in ready and designed to impress—your Outer Banks lifestyle starts here. Read Less
