Poplar Root Farm, located in eastern Burke County near Stoney Bluff Road, is a beautiful 245-acre tract featuring a mix of longleaf pine and upland hardwood. Just a short drive from several of the Southeast's premier plantations-including Wade Plantation and Millhaven Plantation-this property offers exceptional seclusion, privacy, and habitat diversity. Laced with deer trails, scrapes, and rubs, the property's multiple age classes of longleaf pine and oak provide excellent bedding and foraging habitat for both deer and turkey. Three distinct timber types are present: approximately 158 acres of 10-year-old mixed longleaf pine and hardwood, 70 acres of mature longleaf pine and hardwood, and 12 acres of bottomland hardwood. The bottomland hardwood areas are located along spring-fed hardwood branches, offering a reliable, year-round water source for wildlife. A five-acre pond site on the west side of the property can be expanded and reclaimed. While it does not currently hold standing water, it retains moisture for most of the year and has excellent potential for enhancement. A well-maintained primary woods road circles the property, providing excellent year-round access and multiple shooting lanes for hunting. Several auxiliary roads and trails branch off the main road, serving as firebreaks and access routes to strategic hunting areas. The main gated entrance is located at the end of Penn Lane, with overhead power available a short distance from the gate. The topography is generally level to gently rolling, with more pronounced slopes surrounding the pond site and hardwood branches. These transitional areas-between uplands and bottoms-show heavy deer traffic and add fantastic aesthetics to the landscape. The soils are a well-balanced mix of productive uplands and natural bottomlands. Uplands consist primarily of well-drained soils, ideal for loblolly and longleaf pine production, food plots, and recreation. The lower elevations support hardwood species, wetland vegetation, and diverse wildlife habitat. Together, these soil types create an attractive combination of productive pine timberland, hardwood bottoms, and scenic water features-perfectly suited for timber investment, hunting, and outdoor recreation.
