    What's special

    Room to gardenEasy one-story livingSpectacular backyardMature treeFunctional split-bedroom floor planTrue outdoor retreat
    Welcome to 217 Deep Creek Drive — a rare opportunity in Clayton, NC to own over an acre of land with NO HOA dues and NO city taxes. Tucked into the peaceful Meadow Creek area of Johnston County, this charming ranch-style home delivers the privacy, space, and freedom that are nearly impossible to find at this price point in the Triangle. Step outside and be captivated by the spectacular backyard, anchored by a magnificent mature tree that offers shade, character, and a sense of serenity you simply can't manufacture in a new subdivision. Whether you're sipping coffee on the back porch or watching the seasons change, this yard is a true outdoor retreat — and at over an acre, there's room to garden, add a workshop, or simply spread out and breathe. For first-time home buyers, this is the affordable Clayton, NC home you've been searching for — big lot, low overhead, and a price that pencils out. For downsizers, enjoy the simplicity of single-level living without sacrificing land or elbow room. For investors, the Johnston County rental market is strong, and a 3-bedroom ranch on a large lot with no HOA restrictions checks every box. Inside, you'll find a functional split-bedroom floor plan — the classic layout buyers love — with easy one-story living throughout. Location? You're minutes from I-40 and US-70, putting downtown Raleigh just 20-35 minutes away and the Research Triangle Park within easy reach. Clayton sits about 20 miles southeast of downtown Raleigh and is home to Novo Nordisk's flagship U.S. biomanufacturing campus. As the fastest-growing town in Johnston County, Clayton has become one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Raleigh metro area, with median home prices approximately 15-20% lower than neighboring Raleigh. You get Triangle access at Johnston County prices — and that gap is exactly why savvy buyers are moving here now. Clayton is a friendly town with the ample, convenient amenities and all the charm of a small historic Southern town, with a revitalized Main Street full of restaurants, businesses, and merchants. 217 Deep Creek Drive is priced to move. Homes on Deep Creek Drive with acreage and no HOA don't stay on the market — come see this one before someone else does. No HOA. No City Taxes. Over 1 Acre. Mature Trees. Clayton NC. Johnston County. Ranch Home. First-Time Buyer. Investor. Downsizer. 27520.
