A 10-minute drive from New Market Center in Boone brings you to a hidden gem, the elegant Poplar Forest gated community. With an understated design approach, Poplar Forest offers large building lots in a gorgeous natural setting, emphasizing awesome mountain vistas and privacy. Lot 38 is a 2.3-acre site with long-range views, gently sloping topography and a winding creek on the lower boundary of the lot. The setting supports a balance of privacy and accessibility, with a paved private road and established infrastructure in place. Utilities are available to the lot, including underground service and high-speed fiber optic internet. Water and septic systems are needed. The community allows short-term and long-term rentals, offering potential for personal use or investment. Poplar Forest provides a gated entrance and access to community hiking trails, contributing to an outdoor-oriented lifestyle. All this, yet minutes from Boone (ranked #3 of The South's Best Mountain Towns, Southern Living) and everything High Country has to offer.
