Twin Poplar Farm: 2552 Flat Mountain Road
Twin Poplar Farm is a classic, old-time country farm. A home site rests comfortably next to a barn with a large field across the street set on 28.5+/- acres with panoramic views. This property could serve as a full-time residence or as that special place you use to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Set in a field with fruit trees and 180-degree views of the surrounding mountains, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offer privacy in a serene setting. A small country church a hundred yards away is the only neighbor abutting the property. Built in 1935 and modernized over the decades, the home has 1248-square feet of living space plus a walkout basement, a storage barn, and a 6 x 20' chicken coop.

The driveway leaves Flat Mountain Road and winds past apple trees to the home, which sets against a backdrop of mixed hardwoods. An elevated covered front porch affords 30-mile views of the neighboring mountains and has plenty of room for rockers and a porch swing.
There are two front entries, one opening into the living room and the other into a small mudroom and the kitchen. Like most rooms in the home, the living room has hardwood flooring and a ceiling fan. Two windows provide mountain views.
The kitchen has pine cabinetry, tile countertops with a double stainless-steel sink, and a small island with a wood countertop and decorative corrugated metal sides. The appliances include a side-by-side Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator with a freezer drawer and an ice dispenser, a GE Spectre electric range, and a Frigidaire dishwasher in the island. Additionally, there is an upright GE freezer in the adjacent mudroom.
An interesting space with a wood stove connects the living room and kitchen. This long room is presently configured to serve several purposes: laundry room, office, and dining area.
The three bedrooms are off the living room. All have oak flooring and ceiling fans, and two are corner rooms. They share the home's sole bathroom, which has tile flooring, a shower, and a vanity with a solid surface counter/sink.
Just past the kitchen, steps lead to the basement, divided into rooms for storage, utilities, and workshop space. A walkout door opens to the back yard, where there is a nearby separate small workshop.
The chicken coop and barn are a short stroll from the house. The coop is a critter-proof wood structure with wire mesh windows. The small barn is open on two sides and essentially provides equipment storage.
The property lends itself well to gardening, pets, and outdoor activities. The mountaintop location is private without being isolated. The towns of Union and Alderson are a 20-minute drive, and historic Lewisburg, once voted the Coolest Small Town in America, is only 30 minutes away, with fine dining, shopping, an 8-screen cinema, and a lively arts scene with concerts and live theatre. Local annual events include the State Fair of West Virginia, two food-themed street festivals, a literary festival, Monroe County's Farmer's Day and Alderson's Fourth of July and celebration, and Strawberry Festival.
The Greenbrier resort in nearby White Sulphur Springs is one of the world's top luxury destinations. The 11,000-acre property's seemingly endless offerings include multiple golf courses, boutique shopping, a dozen restaurants, a spa, a tennis complex, and a casino.
The Greenbrier River draws anglers and kayakers, and the 75-mile Greenbrier River Trail is popular with hikers and bicyclists. Snowshoe Ski Resort, the largest ski complex in the Mid-Atlantic States, is a scenic 2-hour drive on a winding country highway. In the off-seasons, it offers an extensive system of mountain biking trails.
This picturesque mountaintop property offers privacy, spectacular scenery, and access to the Greenbrier Valley's many cultural offerings and outdoor activities.
