Property Description

Welcome to The Poplars, a charming stone residence built in 1939 and located within the Bear’s Den Rural Historic District. The home reflects the legacy of wealthy Washingtonians who were drawn to the area's beauty and privacy, and was originally designed for Wing Agnew, superintendent for the U.S. Bureau of Mines located at Mt. Weather. The property showcases exceptional stone craftsmanship, including original 4’ x 4’ entrance pillars dating to 1913 and extensive stone hardscaping. The paved driveway winds through sweeping lawns dotted with mature Tulip Poplars, Oaks, and Maples, arriving at a parking circle and welcoming flagstone terrace. Inside, the light-filled living room features gleaming hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, and a striking stone fireplace. The dining room offers expansive windows, a corner cabinet, and French doors opening to a sunroom with eastern valley views. The main level also includes a galley kitchen, bedroom or home office, and full bath. Upstairs is the primary suite with built-ins, a walk-in cedar closet and a full bath. Another guest bedroom with a unique half bath and plenty of storage finishes this level. The lower level provides a spacious family room with wood stove, full bath, storage, utility room, and garage access. A separate three-car garage, cleared fire pit area, storage shed, and mature gardens complete the property. Rich in history, privacy, and natural beauty, The Poplars offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive Blue Ridge historic home. Starlink internet available. Property is part of an estate and is being offered “as is.”
