About 871 Poplar Creek Rd
ENJOY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! Live in a gracious country home (complete with guest cottage, barn and 11+ acres) and still be just a short drive from Oak Ridge (10 minutes), Windrock (10 minutes), Knoxville (20-30 minutes) and 35 minutes to the new Flatrock Motor park. The moment you step on the expansive front porch, this beautiful log home draws you in. The main house boasts very spacious rooms with views of the mountains, fields and Poplar Creek on all levels. On the main level, you enter into a vaulted foyer that leads on the left into a den with beautiful stone fireplace, a large grand room with dining and seating areas with its own gas stove, a well-appointed kitchen with beautiful wood cabinets and granite counters. The kitchen then leads into an inviting sunroom/breakfast nook which accesses the back wrap-around porch and deck. On the right of the main level, you enter the master suite with its own beautiful stone fireplace, closet and master bath with optional laundry hook-ups. The second level has two enormous bedrooms, a central hall that could be used as a reading nook or hobby area, two bathrooms and an office with an amazing view of the home's middle and back fields and the creek. The guest cottage is fully equipped with a front porch, living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with laundry hookups. The cottage provides endless possibilities as a mother-in-law apartment, starter home for an adult child, office for a home-based business, ARBNB or a rental property. The large barn has a loft that could be used for animals, or a workshop that would be a man's dream workshop. And last, but not least, this property sits on 11+ acres of beautiful land on Poplar Creek. There is a fenced middle field and a large back field. You also have hundreds of yards of frontage on Poplar Creek with many spots along the bank conducive to launching a kayak, fishing, or just enjoying the creek and the sunset. This is a wonderful home and a beautiful place to make memories. Buyers or Buyers agent to verify information!
