Description

Poplar Hollow offers a quiet rural retreat with features that support full time living, vacation use, or recreational enjoyment. Located just around the corner from Perkins Place, this property sits in a scenic section of Pope County and provides a practical layout with comfortable living space, a well built structure, and direct access to a wide range of outdoor activities. Currently operating as a successful short term rental on major platforms, the property generated $20,813 in 2024 and $17,903 in 2023, demonstrating steady performance and strong guest demand in an area known for outdoor recreation, quality hunting and tourism. With all furniture, decor, and essential items included, the home is ready for continued operation without interruption. The residence is housed within a durable 1,440 square foot Morton building and includes three bedrooms and one bathroom. It was originally configured as a one-bedroom residence, with two additional bedrooms later added within the shop area. These rooms have been constructed with attention to detail, offering flexibility for hosting guests, accommodating family members, or creating separate sleeping areas for hunting partners. The building features 2”x6” framing and enhanced insulation, resulting in stable heating and cooling performance throughout the year. The property is served by a clean well and has reliable high speed Wi Fi, supporting remote work and modern communication needs in a quiet countryside setting. One of the standout features of Poplar Hollow is the attached 30’x40’ shop space. This area includes a full bathroom, water, electric, and a concrete floor. It offers significant utility for equipment storage, woodworking, vehicle maintenance, or hobby use. The shop also holds potential for expansion of living space if desired, providing additional value for a variety of ownership goals. The surrounding acreage provides meaningful recreational opportunities. A rock bottom creek runs through the property and creates a scenic natural feature. The creek is accessed by a low water crossing at the entrance, adding convenience for travel throughout the land. The topography includes rolling ground, wooded draws, and open pockets that support wildlife movement. Several blinds and ladder stands will remain with the property, offering immediate opportunity for deer and turkey hunting during their respective seasons. An established trail system winds across the acreage and allows easy access on foot or ATV. A key attribute of this tract is that it directly adjoins the Shawnee National Forest. This connection greatly expands the land available to explore, hunt, and enjoy. Guests and owners have immediate access to thousands of acres of public land, making the property attractive for recreation focused buyers. Trail systems, scenic overlooks, and diverse habitats within the national forest provide extensive opportunities for outdoor activity. Poplar Hollow combines a solid residential structure, functional shop space, attractive natural features, and strong recreational elements. With its furnished interior, well built design, and adjacency to the Shawnee National Forest, the property is well suited for buyers looking for a rural residence, investment option, or a dependable base camp for hunting and outdoor exploration. Interested buyers should confirm intended uses with the appropriate agencies and verify any rental or occupancy plans.
